An empowering progression class for regular CAMYOGA students who would like to advance all aspects of their practice.
Hot Yoga Intermediate is a 75-minute heated class focusing on strength, stillness and progress. It offers a pathway from foundational yoga to increased challenge, discipline and complexity in practice. There will be a chance to try new things — while working on mastering the core practices.
In addition to building a stronger practice, students will improve their knowledge and understanding of the purposes and therapeutic benefits - key values of the Ghosh yoga lineage (Kolkata Yoga).

Key elements of this system include:
•Dynamic salutations
•Postures held strongly in stillness
•Strength-building through the entire body
•Focus on spinal movement and strength
•Progress to full backward bends
•Arm balances and preparations
•Pranayama and meditation
•Emphasis on individual practice and progress
•Clear progression and learning

In this yoga tradition from North East India based on the teachings of Bishnu Charan Ghosh, cultivates stillness in body and mind, encouraging deep and meditative focus. His work influenced the progress of modern yoga as exercise in India, combining strength training with traditional yogic practices.

Advanced instructor Polly Griffiths, who has been studying and sharing yoga from the Ghosh tradition for over 7 years with 850hrs certification, will lead this class. Polly has taught this yoga extensively in studios around the world, including Thailand, New Zealand and California, and recently in London where she taught the Intermediate Series.
Ghosh Yoga Lineage
Bishnu Charan Ghosh was a Hathayogi, bodybuilder and celebrated teacher, prominent in early 20th century Kolkata. The teachings and values shared by Bisnhu Ghosh and his community are in a style distinctive to North East India, sometimes referred to as ‘Kolkata Yoga’. Key hatha yoga text The Gheranda Samhita (1700) was a major influence in this lineage. Today, the Ghosh Yoga methodology explores yogic history, textual study and systems of practice alongside the latest scientific knowledge. The tradition continues to be shared by Ghosh’s granddaughter at Ghosh's Yoga College in Kolkata, and by Yoga Acharyas (Masters) Ida Jo and Scott Lamps - with whom Polly trained.
