SBYC Practice Recommendation -- Getting results from your practice
If you would like to see results from your practice (more flexibility, reduced stress, increased endurance, feeling stronger, becoming more confident and comfortable with the postures, establishing the breath much more easily, etc.), I urge you to practice 3 or more times a week.
One class only maintains your practice and if you miss a week, then you work against yourself. Two classes help you maintain much better and you start to advance your abilities. It is after the third class where you feel and see the difference in your practice and you begin to experience Flow. And four classes, then it becomes a part of you where your body and mind find FLOW even after you left the studio.
Taking a workshop every now and then is also good for your practice/classes. It gives you information that can’t be conveyed in a regular class. We offer workshops that cover all sorts of yoga topics. If there is ever anything you’d like to discover, or investigate further please write me an email. It’s great for me to know what it is you’d like to work on!
Finally, meditation classes are understood as part of the practice and coming once a month helps to coalesce any of the more subtle work you do in your asana classes (regular).
Think about it and make the decision to do a little more yoga this Fall!!!
The passes will reflect my urging that you take more classes for the good of your practice. :-)
Yoga with Ummpphh!
At Shama-Bhakti Yoga Centre, it is our focus to assist you in developing a rewarding personal practice that will take you from a beginner to advanced practitioner as you join us in the studio day to day, week to week.
Shama-Bhakti Yoga Centre is a whole yoga experience. At the studio, we offer all elements of practice that develop the body, mind and soul. For the body, we have awesome yoga classes and illuminating workshops. For the mind, we have transformative meditation classes. For the soul, we have all of that and more in an all-encompassing, life-enriching program called 'The Next Step: Deep Immersion/ Teacher Training Program/Transpersonal Immersion.
Our classes are based on the Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga system with a Shama-Bhakti twist. All classes stretch you, introduce you to breath and movement, and prepare you for a lifelong journey into the deeper aspects of yoga as you venture from basic to advanced levels of practice. The beginner/basic classes are designated as ShamaPrana 1, 1/2, 2, and SB Ashtanga. In these classes, you will get to know the postures through expert instruction and guidance, which will help build confidence in your ability to move into more complex postures and develop a rewarding practice. We have all level Ashtanga classes called SB Ashtanga and a Full Series class. Our Vinyasa classes are amazing and fun, each with a different name because of the different emphasis: ShamaLama Ding Dong, ShamaLama Flow, ShamaLama Basic, and ShamaLama Lite.
We teach and convey this practice with confidence and great detail. It is our sincere wish to transmit the practice of yoga in its entirety with integrity and light-heartedness. We hope that our expertise will allow our students; no matter what level, feel welcome, safe, curious and inspired.
