A classical cleansing practice
The physical practice begins with Surya Namaskara, preparing the body through movement, mobility, and breath before moving into the asana practice.
From there, we work through a sequence of 12 foundational postures, traditionally organized across eight groups of asana:
Inversions · Forward Bends · Backward Bends · Lateral Bends · Spinal Twists · Abdominal Poses · Relaxation · Meditative Poses
Jal Neti is a gentle way of cleansing the nasal passages. Lukewarm salt water is poured into one nostril and allowed to flow out through the other, rinsing the passages as it goes.
Neti is one of the Shat Kriyas, the six classical cleansing practices of Hatha Yoga, named in the Hatha Yoga Pradipika as the Shatkarma (2.22). The text describes Neti with a soft thread drawn through the nose (2.29). Jal Neti, its water form, is where the practice usually begins.

How We Practice
Our classes are conducted in guided, progressive batches, with each session building upon the previous one. We approach each posture step by step, establishing a strong foundation before gradually developing the mobility, strength, flexibility, and endurance needed to practice with greater ease.
The focus is not on rushing through postures, but on cultivating alignment, breath awareness, and steady progress over time.
There is no expectation to force the body into a particular shape. We meet you where you are. Practices are accessible to beginners while offering depth and progression for returning practitioners.
