Vinyasa: "to place in a special way"
Krama: "proceeding step by step according to a regular order" ~ Sri T. Krishnamacharya, Yoga Makaranda |
Four core values make up our studio ethos...
Intelligent Sequencing
At ESY, we sequence our classes intelligently: guided by anatomy, never at random, and always with a clear intention in mind. We believe that a carefully sequenced practice can make the difference between injury and ease, butalso between stagnation and evolution or fatigue and invigoration. Sequencing can determine whether you stand on the threshold of a pose or move into it with confidence, whether you feel strain or balance and wellbeing when you're done.
A down-to-earth studio culture
We're firm believers that a friendly and unpretensious environment is key to a rewarding yoga practice, so we aim to create an atmosphere where everyone is genuinely welcome, can ask questions if they have them, and feels comfortable enough to get what they need from their practice on any given day..
Effective yoga teaching
Our emphasis on intelligent practice demands a lot from a yoga teacher: a wide and sophisticated understanding of yoga poses, anatomical knowledge, a good dose of creative flair, and the confidence to change the rules if these don't make sense. To be this whole package, your yoga practice has to run deep, and you'll find this is the case with our skillful, approachable and infectiously enthusiastic yoga teachers.
A comprehensive schedule
ESY's schedule is diverse (but gimmick-free), and aims to offer all the essential and complementary ingredients for a balanced, fully rounded practice. You'll find classes dedicated to strengthening and endurance-building, to flexibility and relaxation, to technical skill, to combinations of all these elements ... and more.
