All styles of yoga point back to the original intention of the 5000+ year-old practice - to find union of self with the divine, via a journey through the body, breath, and mind and into conscious wisdom and bliss.

There are many diverse yogic philosophies that have been developed over the last 5,000 years. 

Mindful Yoga places an emphasis on incorporating mindfulness philosophy throughout the physical yoga class (asanas) and meditation, as a pathway to transcend the ego-limiting personality and encourage a more conscious, expansive way of relating to the world and self.

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

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).

Mindful Yoga is about presence through both movement and into consciousness - of body, speech, mind and heart. Mindfulness is a way to live on purpose with kindness. Meditation helps us to cultivate meaningful qualities and create a more balanced, peaceful and inspired life.
