Yoga under the Moon

5 yoga instructor­s and 5 rounds of yoga teachings equal one invigorati­ng evening!

-

It was a unique and first- of- itskind yoga event in Hyderabad, with yoga sessions being held in the open air, under the moonlight. The event kicked off with a yoga demonstrat­ion by kids, followed by several rounds of yoga.

( ROUND 1)

AcroYoga blends the wisdom of yoga, the dynamic power of acrobatics, and the loving kindness of healing arts.

It cultivates trust, playfulnes­s and community. It brings play back into our lives.

( ROUND 2) WARM UP SESSION

Living up to the theme of Yoga under the Moon, the Chandra Namaskar provides strength training, flexibilit­y, cardiovasc­ular endurance, agility, and co- ordination.

( ROUND 3) PARTNER YOGA

Experts believe that “the best way to live is when the mind and heart work as one. Today we are living, but there is no life in it, there are only confused minds. Clarity of thought and action will add life to living and that’s the motto of yoga.” Partner yoga can also help us lighten up and invite a sense of playfulnes­s into asana practice.

( ROUND 4) MEDITATION

The “monkey minds” are asked to stay calm with a peaceful session of meditation. Meditation helps one to be kind, generous and keep working without any expectatio­ns because whatever goes around, comes around.

( ROUND 5) SAVASANA

Where participan­ts let go of their problems, surrender themselves to their mats and relax. As expert Sakina Kapadia says, “If you can breathe, you can practice yoga and use it as a preventive medicine for body, mind and soul.” She loves to connect asana practice to real life and incorporat­es a lot of philosophy into her teachings.
