Sivananda Yoga is based on the the teachings of Swami Vishnu Devananda Saraswati, disciple of Swami Sivananda. Swami Vishnudevananda synthesized the essence of yoga into five principles that could be easily incorporated into daily life. He recommended their regular practice for optimal physical and mental health, as well as spiritual growth. These five principles comprise the core teachings of this class.
A session of training typically starts with every practitioner resting in Savasana, and begins with Pranayama (breathing exercises), Kapalabhati and Anuloma Viloma, preceding rounds of Sūrya namaskāra, before the standard program of the 12 basic asanas. A session averages 90 minutes, and the traditional program has a series that is followed rigidly by the instructor, allowing for some advanced variations and modifications in the later part of the sequence. The training is meant to control the mind with repetition and discipline. The school teaches the more you change the system the more you allow your mind to control you rather than using your body to control the mind. The class ends with a relaxation led by the instructor. The class begins and ends with mantras to help open/close the session with mindfulness and dedication.
