1. Weekly Blossom Yoga classes with Ania on Tuesday evenings @ 18:00
Eternal Yoga is a traditionally run yoga school. Our students are primarily focussed in self-development, that's to say, they want to improve themselves. We teach a very old form of yoga, yet present it in a very modern way. Yoga is practised in a more meditative way, holding positions for longer than is common, with our eyes closed. During each yoga technique, we focus our attention in a particular place, to effect tangible and substantial effects to the physical, energetic, and more subtle levels of the human being.
We'll teach you about chakras in such a way that your practice will enable you to feel them, and insodoing you'll be creating a personal toolkit for improving all aspects of your life - not just the physical.
We're a tantric school, meaning we're very interested in energy and using our physical bodies to effect spiritual changes. We'll slowly reveal some of the more exciting aspects of the tradition, too, like the use of yantras (geometrical shapes), and when students' bodies are ready, the powerful family of kundalini techniques (different from Yogi Bhajan's) and pranayama methods.
We now offer drop-in classes, on Tuesday evenings at Blossom Therapies. Introductory lectures occur frequently, so you can come and see what we do, and ask any questions you may have.

Teachers
Ania and James met in a yoga environment in 2004. Having spent years in intensive retreat in India and Thailand, they now teach in England, and share the teachings of yoga, pranayama, mudra, bandha, meditation, as well as tantric sexuality and relationships. Being a married tantric couple living their teachings, they are in the rare position to be able to guide singles and couples alike as they tread the spiritual path.
Teachings
Age-old esoteric knowledge and practices are presented in an easy-to-digest, clear and concise way, which is very well suited to the western mind. Traditionally, yoga involved an aspect of devotion (known as bhakti) to ones teacher and their teachings, and this guru disciple relationship was very common in India and Tibet. In England it is less understood, and special and new means are necessary to address our particular ways of approaching spirituality and to inner development. We understand this, having been questioning seekers ourselves, too!
A gram of practice is worth a ton of theory, and we won't pander too much to our questioning minds, preferring to test these theories with careful examination of the effects that each technique has upon us. Each class introduces an aspect of theory to support the practice, and we encourage students to bring their notebooks each time.
Our teachers include Paramahamsa Prajnanananda and Swami Shankarananda Giri from the the Kriya Yoga Tradition, Agama's Swami Vivekananda Saraswati and Hridaya's Sahajananda.
