Yoga

At  Satori  Yoga Studio we carefully blend few different styles to create a very unique experience. We use the foundation of Hatha Yoga, adding to it the vibrational qualities of the sound  of Seven Spiritual Laws of Yoga ( as taught by Deepak Chopra and David Simon, the founders of the Chopra Center in California) and sound bio-mechanical principles of yoga therapy ( developed by Susi Hatley Aldous, the founder of Functional Synergy Yoga Studio and rehabilitation center in Calgary). The outcome – a style of yoga that is safe and accessible and adaptable to anybody and any body; a style that is gentle enough and yet challenging enough.

Here are the schedule of current classes:

Beginner yoga: Mondays and Wednesdays from 6:15 to 7:30 PM.

Yoga, demystified. All questions answered, no stone left unturned. We start with the easy flowing joint-freeing series and slowly progress toward more advanced poses, while paying particular attention to breathing and alignment. Learn how to create a safe and nurturing practice while receiving all the great benefits yoga practice has to offer – increased flexibility, vitality and a sense of peace and calm.

Seven Spiritual Laws of Yoga: Thursdays from 7:30 to 8:45 AM.

Created by the founders of the Chopra Center for Wellbeing Dr’s Deepak Chopra and David Simon, this style of yoga infuses your yoga practice with the spirit. Based on the international best seller “Seven Spiritual Laws of Success”, Seven Spiritual Laws of Yoga brings the basic laws of nature onto your yoga mat by weaving together the meditation, breathing, mantras and yoga poses. This class is open to all practitioners who want to deepen their understanding of the ancient roots, traditional practices and philosophical foundation of yoga.  Beginners welcome!

Here are Dr. David Simon and Dr. Deepak Chopra explaining one of the seven laws – The Law of Detachment and how it applies to the yoga practice and our lives.

Here are the few testimonies:

“With each yoga class I take, I continue to be pleasantly surprised at the benefits to my body, my mind, my spirit and my emotions. Julia’s classes are unique. She reaches a core, a place deep inside of my being that has been closed off under a huge pile of broken “cement chunks” possibly since I was a very young child. Good day, bad day, doesn’t matter. All I need to do is show up to Julia’s studio. She provides a safe, gentle and extremely enJOYable way to open to who I am ( capitals are author’s). I feel perfect, lovable, and deserving in this environment and I take it with me when I leave. That’s the part that amazes me!

Following are just a few examples of some of the things I have noticed from spending one hour a week with this amazing healing modality:

Calmer state of mind;

Much less muscle tension, aches and pains;

Toning of the muscle mass;

Improved posture;

Feelings of peace and trust;

And so much more!”
