See photos (here) of our new space – 16 Monmouth Street


Hello Monmouth Street! After 16+ years on Broad Street, we’ve said good-bye to our old space, and have moved into in our “new space” at 16 Monmouth Street, 3rd floor, just two blocks away.  This is a wonderful fit for our yoga community’s needs. The studio space will look familiar to you (check out the ceiling), and Monmouth Street is a fun part of town. Thanks to Claudia Ansorge for the Red Bank Tip Sheet promotion above, and Dan Jacobsen for the triCityNews article image below.  Looking forward to our next 16 years in Red Bank.

Styles of Yoga

 

Anusara Yoga is heart-oriented, spiritually inspiring, and yet grounded in universal principles of alignment for both the inner and outer body. It is a uniquely integrated style of hatha yoga in which the artistic glory of the human heart blends magically with the scientific principles of biomechanics.  John Friend is the founder of Anusara Yoga

 

Iyengar Yoga is a form of hatha yoga modeled after the teachings of B.K.S. Iyengar, living master of Pune, India.  The principles are based on Mr. Iyengar's life-long study of the art and science of asana (yoga postures) and pranayama (breathing techniques). Postures can be adapted to all students' personal and physical needs through the use of props and a mindful practice. Iyengar Yoga helps to create a happy and healthy body and mind, through its focus on proper alignment, building strength and flexibility and learning how to calm the mind.

Ashtanga Yoga vinyasa yoga is a vigorous asana practice designed by Patabhi Jois, a student of Krishnamacharya. It consists of six fixed series of poses, of progressively higher difficulty. The fact that the series of poses is fixed helps to enter a meditative state while practicing. The poses are joined with a series of connecting movements called vinyasa, which is similar to a partial sun salutation. The first or primary series is already quite challenging when practiced in full and is better suited to students in good physical condition. Each student is encouraged to practice part of the primary series according to his or her level of comfort.

 

Ashtanga Yoga is taught in the tradition of living yoga master Pattabhi Jois of Mysore, India. This method involves a specific sequential and progressive series of postures synchronized with Ujjayi breathing and a gazing point, driste.  Ashtanga Yoga is challenging and heat generating.
