RAJA YOGA

 “Yoga is the cessation of the fluctuations of the mind.”

Sage Patanjali

The eight limbs of Yoga teach us to control the mind through observance of our ethical principles (Yama and Niyama), breathing exercises (Pranayama), withdrawal of senses (Pratyahara) concentration and meditation (Dharana and Dhyana). The physical poses (Asana) in addition to focusing the mind, also allow us to effectively move energy (Prana) throughout the body, bringing vitality to our cells, tissues, organs, and systems.

A regular practice of all types of Yoga (Bhakti, Jnana, Karma, Raja) guides us to access our inner consciousness (or Spirit, or soul), where infinite power resides. The control of the mind and use of poses promote immense physical, psychological and spiritual benefits, leading us closer to liberation (Samadhi) and the end of unnecessary suffering.

    Thais’s primary style of teaching is Vinyasa (flow yoga), and her classes normally include Pranayama (breathing exercises) as well as Dharana and Dhyana (concentration/meditation) in addition to the physical aspect.

    She believes Yoga is for everybody, it's just a matter of modifying each Asana (pose) to make it less or more challenging for each person. Her aim is to guide her students through asanas that are performed according to Patanjali, the father of yoga: "sthira" (stable and firm) and "sukham" (joyful and comfortable), promoting well-being that follows the Yogi off the mat.
