Naga Yoga

This high season, Naga Yoga debuts at Aves Hotel.

Although Nagas may be a term to describe half-human half-snake deities, water spirits, or dragons in Asian cultures, we are using the term "Naga" to refer to the "Serpent Wisdom" these beings carry or represent including practices and philosophy around "kundalini energy". Just a fun side note, in some cultures (such as in modern day "Greece"), mermaids, too, are considered Naga.

Naga Yoga pays reverence to the cultures which have deeply influenced the mystical traditions and yogic systems such as Hinduism, Buddhism, and ancient Kemet (aka Egypt). Pantangali (whose Yoga Sutras are considered a bible for modern postural yoga training and respected throughout India) is considered a Naga! For more information about Nagas, visit the Nag Panchami guidebook I created to share more about Naga wisdom.

Although mystically or more philosophically advanced, the movements of Naga Yoga are beginner friendly. Naga Yoga incorporates a breathwork, Hatha-like experience of Egyptian yoga postures including the Journey of RA sun salutation flow, an exploration of slow and sensuous movements, and finishing with meditation. This is a class for those who wish to delve more deeply into the meaning of ancient yogic systems - which is Self-realization aka enlightenment.
