Svastha Yoga

Svastha yoga was so named by A.G. Mohan, a devoted student of Sri T. Krishnamacharya of 25 years. A.G. Mohan and the Mohan Family have developed schools in Chennai and Singapore as well as the United States in order to bring their abundant knowledge of classic yoga, ayurveda and Vedic scriptures to the world.  A.G.Mohan’s philosophy based on his learnings, believed that total health not only comes from the physical life, but also the balance of the mind and spirit. To accomplish this, breathing exercises (pranayama) and meditation are as emphasized as the yoga asanas themselves.

Svastha Yoga uses slow controlled movement to perform asanas based on classic hatha yoga. Breath is utilized extensively to better achieve spinal alignment while in movement. In maintaining proper breathing throughout, the body resists injury and overexertion. The breath is also used as a vehicle to providing an inner focus that calms the mind and the spirit while bringing deep awareness of the body.
