Amrit, Kripalu and Ashtanga Yoga

The purpose of this yoga lineage is to guide you toward cultivating a conscious connection, integration and awakening of the body, mind, heart and spirit.

You will learn and practice Patanjali's 8 limbs of yoga:

Yama: universal ethics
Niyama: personal observances
Asana: physical postures
Pranayama: breath
Pratyahara: withdrawal of the senses
Dharana: concentration
Dhyana: meditation
Samadhi: tranquility, spiritual illumination, union in one’s Divine Source

What To Expect

Work primarily with the Amrit posture sequence, gentle vinyasa flows and extended posture holding times.

Explore the deepest levels of body, mind and spirit with the integrative practices of clear intention, breath, meditative awareness and conscious integration.

Learn to balance your nervous system with the “first half” and “second half” of a posture. To transition from an active state of “doing” a posture, to a relaxed state of “being”. And to feel the effects of a posture.

Learn to consciously encounter your "edge" of body and mind to release deep tensions and restore the natural flow of the vital life force energy (prana).

Class Level

Good for all levels, from those with some experience to more experienced practitioners. Some experience with yoga and postures is recommended.

Attending Class

What My Students Say
"Sylvie's yoga classes are excellent, but they go far beyond the asana postures that most yoga classes focus on. She offers deep insights into the science and philosophy of mind and you always walk away with a new perspective on whatever issues you might be going through. 10/10 highly recommended." - Jeffrey
"Sylvie is not your typical yoga teacher. She brings so much more to the table! Her depth of knowledge in the practice of yoga, breathwork, meditation, energy work and yoga philosophy, all comes into play with each session. My life has been enriched with her teachings and my day so improved after a class." - Linda
"Sylvie has shown me that there is so much more to yoga than the postures, or the physical aspect of yoga. Studying with her I have not only gotten stronger and more flexible but I have learned a great deal about yoga philosophy, the Eight Limbs of Yoga and the spiritual foundations of this practice. Her extensive studies in a number of other countries seem to be woven into each yoga class she teaches. For me personally, it’s helped to bring the spiritual principles of yoga into my everyday life.” - Liz
