The name Dancing Foot Yoga comes from the Shiva Nataraj, a famous image that commemorates the Lord Shiva’s dance of creation and being. The Nataraj, or Lord of the Dance, symbolizes the power within each person and the energy that dances within all of us. The cosmic dancer’s left foot, the Dancing Foot, is lifted in celebration gesturing to all to come and find the joy within.

Methods 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, modeled after the teachings of B.K.S. Iyengar, living master of Pune, India, is one of the world’s most widely practiced forms of yoga. The principles are based on Mr. Iyengar's life-long study of the art and science of asana (yoga poses) and pranayama (breathing techniques), emphasizing correct alignment of all parts of the body within each yoga pose. This precision builds strength and stamina – balance and flexibility – and a new sense of well-being. Postures can be adapted to all students' personal and physical needs through the use of props and a mindful practice. Learning to achieve meditation in action, students learn to exist fully and vibrantly in the present moment.

Kundalini Yoga was not taught publicly until 1969 on the west coast of the United States by Yogi Bhajan. Challenging the ages-old tradition of secrecy, he began teaching Kundalini Yoga in the form of kriyas. Kriya means action, and a kriya is comprised of exercises put together systematically, designed to have a specific intention. The kriyas can address the seven chakras and the aura, the glandular system, the nervous system, as well as harness the energy of the mind and emotions. In Kundalini Yoga it is believed that by awakening one’s awareness one can live from the authentic self. This is called Sat Nam, where identity is truth and truth is the essence.

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.

Before beginning any exercise program, check with your licensed health care provider.
