Yoga Sangraha is not a new type of Yoga, but a celebration and practice of classical Yoga practices using a contemporary approach, with science and tradition as a sourcebook.
This dynamic, open-level class combines kriyas and pranayama that are aimed at expanding lung capacity and building cardiovascular strength, along with different types of Sun Salutations, and classical yoga postures. The sequencing of the postures follows the signaling patterns of the nervous system. We group postures together that are calming, integrating, energizing, and grounding in such a way that you are left with a deep sense of calm and inwardly focus.
Sangraha means “a collection” or “compendium.” These classes are grounding and calming sequences of asanas and pranayama that have an intentional effect on the signaling of the nervous system. The practices come from the larger Hatha Yoga tradition, and not from any one lineage. These sequences have been put together by Eddie, drawing from experimentation, study, and exploration of classical Hatha Yoga practices and texts.
