Andiappan Yoga (Self-Practice) |
As taught by Guruji Dr. Asana Andiappan in his yoga school in India, this class is open to yoga practitioners of all levels, particularly those who are interested in improving their postures and developing a discipline of self-practice on their own. Each class starts with a series of warm-up sequences and then followed with students' self-practice. Students execute poses at their own pace under the supervision of a teacher, who assists them individually through verbal instructions and by making physical adjustments. This enables students to make significant improvements to their poses, and also helps them develop a simple routine based on their flexibility. The class’ close-knit and intimate teacher-student environment is ideal for self-practice. For this class, students may arrive any time within the one and a half hour-class. |
Andiappan Yoga (B) |
A science-based sequence of 34 asanas and four breathing techniques developed by Guruji Asana Andiappan after decades of rigorous research on yoga therapy for various ailments, based on the seminal Yogic text Thirumoolar's Thirumandiram. Specially designed to focus on balancing the tridhosha (Vata, Pita and Kapha) in our body, this sequence enables one to improve their flexibility, strength, coordination, mental concentration and relaxation. This practice also helps stimulate the dormant Pranas (energies) and rejuvenate the Nadis (energy channels) in our body.
Andiappan Yoga - Advanced Series 1 focuses on the practice of intermediate-level asanas, targeted toward regular yoga practitioners to challenge their limits. A minimum 6 months of regular yoga practice is required to attend this class. |
Andiappan Yoga - Sun Salutation Series |
Sun salutation is good practice for people of all ages, especially for beginners. The traditional sun salutation sequence has one to two variations, and therefore does not address all body movements. Guruji Andiappan has developed a sun salutation series addressing beginner to advanced levels of yoga practices to engage a variety of body movements. Specially designed for busy working professionals and frequent travellers, this series is divided into 12 different sequences. Six sequences for beginners, three for intermediate-level practitioners and three for advanced practitioners. The regular practice of this sun salutation series is a good form of cardio workout, toning up the body and improving blood circulation. The simple routines are for both children and adults to enjoy. |
Andiappan Yoga - Pavanamuktasana Series |
The word pavana means 'wind' and 'energy', while muktameans 'freeing' or 'liberating.' Developed by Guruji Dr. Asana Andiappan, this series is targeted for the elderly, and can also be applied as rehabilitative therapy for patients suffering from acute ailments and diseases. The Pavanamuktasana series includes a sequence of 50 simple breathing techniques combined with fluid body movements from head to toe that engage different joints in the body. These help improve a person's range of movement and blood circulation, as well as alleviate muscle and joint stiffness and remove blockages in energy channels throughout the body. The practice is suitable for all age groups and can be executed even on a bed. For decades, the Pavanamuktasana series has been applied to many patients suffering from various diseases - breast cancer, heart conditions, kidney disorders, arthritis, and osteoporosis - and has brought about amazing effects to the mind and body. Even regular practitioners doing advanced yoga can partake in the Pavanamuktasana series for a good warm-up routine before an intensive session, as well as for a cool-down routine to soothe the muscles and joints, preventing injuries throughout the entire yoga practice. |

| Detox Yoga |
| As its name implies, Detox Yoga focuses on postures and breathing exercises with body-detoxifying qualities. It is a form of yoga that massages the body’s internal glands and organs by gently stretching muscles and joints. This ensures optimum blood supply to various parts of the body and helps flush out toxins, resulting in the long-term benefits of delayed ageing and a stronger immune system. |

Those who suffer from stiff joints and struggle to hold poses for an extended period of time will greatly benefit from the consistent movement involved in this class. |
| Hatha Yoga |
The word ‘Hatha’ is a compound of the words Ha and Tha, which mean ‘sun’ and ‘moon.’ Hatha Yoga is one of two main branches of yoga that focuses on the physical culture. It offers a good introduction to the basic yoga poses, which attempt to balance the mind and body through asanas (physical exercises), controlled breathing, relaxation, and meditation. Asanas teach pose, balance, and strength, and are practised to improve the body’s physical health and clear the mind, in preparation for meditation in the pursuit of enlightenment.
Hatha Yoga (B) is for all, while (M) and (A) require at least 3 to 6 months of regular yoga practice. |
| Hatha Vinyasa |
‘Hatha’ is a Sanskrit term for the balance between the sun and the moon. It refers to the two polarities that exist within every individual - such as that between top and bottom, left and right; that between our strength against our flexibility, and our mind compared to our emotions; even that of our sense of surrender against our quest for control.
Hatha Vinyasa is a rigorous, dynamic discipline aimed to free us from physical tension. It explores a wide range of poses for increased vitality, strength, balance, and mental focus. A special attention is given to postural alignment, muscle lengthening, and healthy joint mobility. Taking up Hatha Vinyasa, one can expect an active and stimulating session where they may develop grace and poise, and enjoy the longer-term benefit of toning their muscles and overall figure. |

| Kundalini Yoga |
| Best described as ‘Yoga of Awareness,’ Kundalini Yoga focuses on stimulating and activating the dormant energy force in the human body. It helps develop intuition, increase self-knowledge, and unlock our unlimited creative potential. A sequence of meditative postures (asanas), breathing and energy expansion techniques (Pranayamas), and concentration and meditative techniques (Dharana and Dhyana) are practised to awaken the dormant energy centres (Chakras) inside of us, that we may reach higher levels of consciousness and experience an endless supply of energy. A minimum of 6-8 months of regular meditation practice and experience is required to take this class. |

| Patanjali Yoga |
Sage Patanjali penned the ancient Indian Heritage of Yoga through his treatise, the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. The Patanjali Yoga system aims to unite the individual self with the Supreme One. According to Patanjali, one can attain this union by controlling and eliminating the ever-arising vrittis, or modifications of the mind. He also suggests that the mind, in turn, can be controlled through the right kind of discipline and training.
This class teaches practical methods for awakening and expanding the higher faculties of the mind, intellect, and consciousness. It explores the true potential of our mind beyond the limits of time and space, and guarantees a transcendental experience. |
| Prana Yoga |
Prana is the physical, mental, intellectual, spiritual, and cosmic energy that makes a life force. We have 10 types of Pranas in our body; out of all 10, there are 5 major types of Pranas responsible for various Pranic activities in the body. These are: Prana, Apana, Vyana, Udana, and Samoan. Out of these 5, Prana and Apana are the most important. According to ancient yogic text, the practice of Prana Yoga increases the level of Prana (energy) and regulates the flow of Pranic energy throughout the body, resulting in higher states of awareness as well as a healthier body and mind. Prana Yoga includes different kinds of cleansing (Kriyas) and breathing (Pranayama) techniques that activate our energy centres (Chakras). |

Restorative Yoga is ideal for people with medical illness and injuries. (Note: Not all props are used in every class.) |

| Sun Vinyasa |
| Sun Vinyasa is a class that offers a step-by-step guide to perfecting the sun salutations with postures that improve cardio strength, flexibility, and the endurance to burn fat in a good yogic workout. |
| Tantra Yoga |
In Sanskrit, the root word of Tantra is ‘tan,’ which means to weave, expand, and put forth. The underlying concept is that everything is interwoven: our relationships with each other, our experiences, and the universe, and that we have the ability to expand on our consciousness.
The belief in Kundalini and Tantra is that our energy sources lie at the base of our spine. The goal is to channel this energy, a sexual and spiritual life force, throughout the rest of the body.
While Tantra Yoga is not only about sex, increased pleasure is certainly one of its healthy benefits. Through practicing a specific sequence of postures and energy locks, one can channel their energy to the lower abdominal organs and stimulate the Chakras that increase energy and blood circulation to the reproductive glands and organs. |
| Yin Yoga |
| Most forms of Yoga practiced today are Yang, which emphasizes muscular movement and contraction. By contrast, Yin Yoga targets the connective tissue of the hips, pelvis, and lower spine. Yin postures are held anywhere between 3, to 5, to 10 minutes at a time. The intention of Yin Yoga is to stimulate circulation in less-flexible areas, typically in the joints closest to the core of the body: the hips, lower back, and sacrum area. It is based on the ancient Chinese philosophy that the connective tissues in the body serve as a passageway for the flow of vital, life-giving energy that nourishes the organs. When this energy stagnates or becomes blocked, the body becomes vulnerable to illness and injury. By increasing circulation, Yin Yoga encourages energy flow in the body. Moreover, Yin Yoga is a nourishing practice with similar effects on the body and mind as those of acupuncture. It is ideal for those who are trying yoga for the first time. |
| Yin Yang |
| Yin Yang Yoga is the combination of both Yin and Power Yoga. The class starts off with basic postures that involve deep stretching and hip opening, and then moves on to powerful and dynamic movements that affect the connective tissues of the body, bringing about balance, strength, and flexibility. Toward the end, relaxation techniques are done to cultivate a peaceful and meditative mind. Yin Yang Yoga is open to practitioners of all skill levels. |
