About
The word Yoga comes from an ancient script called Sanskrit. Its root word yuj means ‘to unite’ or ‘to yoke’, and the goal of yoga is to help us become aware of the fragmentary nature of our existence and to reunite with our authentic selves. We do this through a combination of mindful movement and movement with breath, which are really one and the same. A Yoga class is a sequence of movements designed to cover the full range of human movement and is often done in time with the breath. This ‘movement with breath’ is called a vinyasa [which means ‘to place in a certain way with a certain breath’] and is one of the more popular styles of yoga these days, it is also one of the styles of yoga that we deliver at Primal HQ in Camberwell with the purpose of it being to bring awareness to the breath, to the body and to the stillness behind the fragmentation of the mind.
