Aqua Yoga

As above, so below. Our planet is made up of more than 70% water, the same as the human body. We cannot separate ourselves from this medium and if we open our minds, we can even conceive of taking our asana practice into the water; or using it as a starting point to begin a hatha practice, especially if the body has some bias.

In the right environment, with the right attitude, it is possible to experience a sense of balanced awareness in the water. Most of the water is done with the student close to the pool edge to insure proper joint articulation and for the teacher to have the best vantage point to guide the student. It is suitable for pre-natal women, post natal, people with arthritis and obesity, but not exclusively. Everyone who enjoys yoga and being in a pool can be mindful practicing yoga in the water.
