Yoga Moves

Yoga is for anyone interested in the general upliftment of the human individual. The cultivation of Yoga develops vitality and strength. It detoxifies the blood and internal organs, improves the immune system, helps eliminate stress, enhances mental alertness and clarity, and reverses the degenerative process allowing us to live a longer life.

‘Ha’ represents sun or “male” energy and ‘tha’ represents the moon or “female” energy. The conjunction is Yoga. Hatha Yoga then is the name given to the technical practices and disciplines by which the body and the vital energies can be brought under control.

Yoga Moves is a Shadow Yoga School where dedicated teachers guide students to their full potential. Classes range from beginner to advanced levels. Yoga Moves offers holiday immersions as well as workshops with visiting teachers.

Shadow Yoga

Shadow Yoga is Hatha Yoga where the restrictions in the physical body are seen as layers of frozen shadows. Through the practice of a series of sequences, as developed by Natanaga Zhander (Shandor Remete), the body is freed of these restrictions which in turn releases the mind from its conditioning. Progress through these forms brings about changes in flexibility and firmness,cultivates smooth breathing as well as awareness of the rhythmic flow of the inner motions of the life force. This prepares the student for the eventual application of “freestyle” where their Hatha Yoga practice is guided by intuitive responses.

The fixed forms of Shadow Yoga incorporate simple repetitive movements utilising the principles of Marmasthana (vital junctions of energy found on the surface of the body) effective in releasing (injury,trauma,or lifestyle) blockages in the body which ultimately lead to the unobstructed circulation of the life force.

Emphasis is placed on cultivating digestive fire (jatara agni) which nurtures blood and bone and builds a strong constitution and healthy immune system.
