Celtic Harmony Yoga

The word yoga comes from the Sanskrit word “yug” or yoke meaning “union”. The union of body, breath, mind and spirit.

The science of Yoga is a group of ancient spiritual practices originating in India. It has been defined as "technologies or disciplines of asceticism and meditation which are thought to lead to spiritual experience and profound understanding or insight into the nature of existence."

Outside India, Yoga is mostly associated with the practice of asanas (postures) of Hatha Yoga or as a form of exercise. There are many branches of Yoga: Hatha Yoga, Karma Yoga, Jnana Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, and Raja Yoga.

At Celtic Harmony Yoga Centre, classes are based on the teachings of Swami Vishnu-devananda, a disciple of Swami Sivananda. Hence this practice of Yoga is termed Sivananda Yoga.

The course covers the five basic principles that could easily be incorporated into one’s lifestyle to provide the foundation for healthy living.
