At Shree Yogvilla, we offer a distinctive yoga practice that seamlessly integrates the teachings of Pattabhi Jois and B.K.S. Iyengar, following a specialized combination developed by Asan Yoga School.
Pattabhi Jois is renowned for his development of Ashtanga Yoga, which is characterized by its rigorous and dynamic sequence of postures, known as the Primary Series. This practice emphasizes the synchronization of breath (Ujjayi), internal energy locks (bandhas), and a focused gaze (drishti). The Primary Series is designed to purify the body and mind through a systematic approach that fosters strength, flexibility, and endurance. Each posture builds upon the previous one, creating a flow that enhances both physical and mental discipline.
On the other hand, B.K.S. Iyengar revolutionized yoga with his focus on precise alignment and the use of props to aid in achieving correct posture execution. Iyengar Yoga is distinguished by its meticulous attention to the alignment of each asana (posture), using props like blocks, straps, and bolsters to support and deepen the practice. This method ensures that students of all levels can safely and effectively explore their physical limits, promoting a deeper understanding of body mechanics and reducing the risk of injury.
The combination of Ashtanga and Iyengar Yoga, as crafted by Asan Yoga School, merges the best aspects of both approaches. This integration allows practitioners to experience the dynamic and invigorating flow of Ashtanga Yoga while benefiting from the alignment precision and support of Iyengar Yoga. This approach not only enhances physical strength, flexibility, and stamina but also cultivates a greater awareness of body alignment and energy flow.
By offering this unique blend, Shree Yogvilla provides a well-rounded practice that balances the intense, rhythmic energy of Ashtanga with the careful, detailed alignment of Iyengar. This fusion allows practitioners to achieve a harmonious and profound yoga experience, addressing both the physical and mental aspects of their practice. As the first studio in Dombivli to introduce this integrated approach, we are dedicated to delivering a transformative and comprehensive yoga journey that fosters overall well-being and personal growth.
