All styles of yoga point back to the original intention of this ancient practice - through the self discovery journey, we realise we are not a single entity - we are connected with everything. 

There are many diverse yogic styles that have been developed in more recent years, including Mindful Yoga.

Mindful Yoga places emphasises on mind throughout the physical yoga practice (asanas), and other yogic techniques such as pranayama (breath work) and meditation, as a pathway to transcend the ego-limiting personality and encourage a more self-aware, conscious, expansive way of relating to the world and self.

Mindfulness Meditation is an included module in this Yoga Teacher Training Program.

The sequencing of a Mindful Yoga class incorporate aspects of many various yoga styles including power, vinyasa, hatha and even yin yoga.

A Mindful Yoga physical sequence can be tailored to those new to yoga and after a more gentle yoga practice, while at the same time catering for advanced yogi's wanting a stronger physical practice (you will be taught how to offer these modifications for the same class during this teacher training program).
