Harbin Yoga
is a yoga of heart consciousness. In class, students have the
opportunity to experience yoga as a spiritual practice centered
in self-awareness. With this awareness, we explore breath, alignment,
balance and symmetry in asana. Our classes inspire lightness,
humor and self-acceptance through cultivating an open atmosphere
within which students can deepen into their practice.
Classes begin
with setting a spiritual mood through chanting, silence, visualization
or meditation. This is followed by breath practice, pranayama.
From this initial place of softness and stillness, asana is explored.
All of the yogis and yoginis who share practice at Harbin are
also involved in therapeutic touch. We use hands-on touch in the
classes to facilitate awareness in asana. This yoga is a practice
influenced by diverse paths including Standing Wave, Iyengar,
Jivamukti, and Integral Yoga.
In all classes,
increasing range of motion, releasing the spine and pelvic girdle
and addressing the therapeutic needs of the students are primary
areas of focus. The beginners practice at 10 am is a floor
practice adaptable to anyone in any physical condition. The intermediate
practice at 8 am is more vigorous and cultivates the experience
of asana on a deeper level. There is also an open level class
at 5 pm. We look to hold the yoga space sacred and safe for all
students, supporting in the moment whatever arises from the practice.
Each class
is unique depending on the personal style of the person sharing.
Each class is similar in its focus on supporting the unfoldment
of consciousness through the sharing of yoga. Come celebrate the
heart with us!
