SIVAM YOGA
a small private yoga studio
in the heart of Cherry Hill, NJ
The philosophy and classes taught @ Sivam are based on
the ancient teachings of Tantra, where one is guided
by and accesses the wisdom inherent in nature. Energy is consciously moved
through the chakra (energy) centers to
awaken an experience of wholeness or union within the yogi.
The breath and attention, through Mantra (sound)
and Asana (physical postures) is guided through
each Chakra to tap into it's hidden potentials.
The asana style is classical flowing Vinyasa, where one
moves fluidly from one asana or posture to the next.
Emphasis is placed on ones individual constitution, history,
and abilities.
Focused guidance, through props and
assists allow the Yogi to move at his or her own pace.
This allows one to experience
the "union" of yoga in
their own time through their own experience.
The environment is very non-competitive,
a beginner new to the practice of Yoga can
emerge blissful, feeling competent and awakened.
The focus of the Yoga taught @ Sivam is to awaken peace
and intuitive healing housed within the body and consciousness,
accessing our body's natural restorative wisdom in movement
and stillness through the guidance of breath.
The focus of the physical aspect of Sivam Yoga is
to massage the organs, stimulate glandular activities,
stretch and relax the muscles and ligaments, oxygenate
the blood, and balance hormonal secretions. Working with,
not against the body, reaching
deep states of emotional, physical, and spiritual balance.
Physical assists and massage are incorporated into every class. Aromatherapy
complements the environment enhancing the experience of being in a"world
beyond"
