Classes at Hamsa Yogashala are done to beautiful, relaxing and restorative music.
Hamsa Yogashala is not a gym class with the clanking of barbells in the background, and its not a school library with canned new age music. All our Yoga sessions have lovely chakra / energy music, or traditional Yoga music playing softly in the background.
Numerous studies have proven that gentle and relaxing music actual teaches the body to slow down.
The intennal rhythms of the body and mind will speed up or slow down to match our environment. So if we are in the gym and there is pounding music, then our body and mind will mirror that. No matter how hard we try to relax and strengthen.
A good example is at the beach, where our body and mind will naturally match the gentle sound of surf and wind, allowing us to release the stress of a busy and speeded up lifestyle. This science is called 'entrainment', and whether we walk in the wood, listening to birdsong or trickling water, or rush down a crowded city street, our surroundings directly impact our health and wellbeing.
Come to Hamsa Yogashala and experience Yoga to relaxing music and see for yourself what a difference it makes in your practice!
Om Peace!
