|
This question needs to be answered as there are so many different styles and schools; paths and viewpoints sometimes it gets confusing. Yoga is a living science - one that has evolved over thousands of years and continues to evolve in accordance with the needs of humanity. Today most yoga practice would not resemble the practices of yesterday different schools, ashrams and centers of yoga have open up all over the western world since the start of the twentieth century. Teachers have developed techniques and changed emphasis, and then given names to their ‘new’ methods. Today there are so many to choose from it can be difficult to know where to start. These ‘schools’ should not be confused with different ‘paths’ of yoga, which are view points or methodologies rather than the teaching style of one guru or establishment from another. The yoga classes being taught at new heaven is a mixture of different schools of yoga and includes discussion on the different paths. A brief discribtion of the different components we cover is laid out for you to read in the hatha yoga section, which is the area or ‘ path’ of yoga we follow most closely. |
