Yoga

Yoga is the dance of every cell with the music of every breath that creates inner serenity and harmony.

What is yoga?

“Yoga is a physical, mental and spiritual practice that originated in ancient India. First codified by the sage Patanjali in his Yoga Sutras around 400 C.E. The word yoga was first mentioned in the oldest sacred texts, the Rig Veda. The practice was in fact handed down from teacher to student long before this text arose.

The word yoga is derived from the Sanskrit root “to unite”. The practice aims to create union between body, mind and spirit, as well as between the individual self and universal consciousness. Such a union tends to neutralize ego-driven thoughts and behaviours, creating a sense of spiritual awakening.” - Yogapedia

Benefits of Yoga

Yoga adds years to your life, and life to your years.

We teach Yoga as a transformative process. The transformation will not only be on the level of your body but in the way you are.

Universal Style Yoga was founded by Andrey Lappa, who is one of the most qualified and influential masters and professional teachers of yoga. His books: "Dynamic practices in classical yoga" and "Yoga: Tradition of Unification" became best sellers in 1999-2000 in ex-soviet countries.

Andrey uses his psychic and energetic abilities, in addition to his scientific precision, as key principals of Yoga in his powerful and effective Universal Style. This Style unites both sides of the existing styles of Yoga, as well as all life experiences. In the base of his Style lies a continuously developing model. Therefore practicing this Style can vary methodically. The Power of Spirit, Knowledge, Awareness and Freedom are part of the Universal Style. But, first of all, Universal Style is based on the Moral and Spiritual perfection of the yoga practitioner.

Ashtanga Yoga is a system of yoga transmitted to the modern world by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois. This method of yoga involves synchronizing the breath with a progressive series of postures. It is a process producing intense internal heat and a profuse, purifying sweat that detoxifies muscles and organs. The result is improved circulation, a light and strong body, and a calm mind.

Iyengar Yoga, one of the world’s most widely practiced forms, emphasizes correct alignment of all parts of the body within each yoga pose. It helps to build and improve strength and stamina, balance and flexibility, body alignment and a new sense of wellbeing. It supports safe and systematical progress in yoga postures. Practitioners will achieve meditation in action. They will also learn how to be present in the current moment.

Yoga is the dance of every cell with the music of every breath that creates inner serenity and harmony.
