Types of Yoga Styles in Drop-in Yoga Classes in Varkala

The drop-in yoga classes in Varkala provide a variety of yoga styles. This benefits people who are in the town for a shorter duration but still want to learn about yoga practices. The different yoga styles taught in a daily yoga class are listed below:

Hatha Yoga

Hatha yoga is a classical form of yoga and is considered as the foundation for other kinds of yoga styles. Hatha signifies willfulness to perform an activity. The use of Hatha yoga is for preparing your body to hold a yoga pose for longer duration and strengthening your core muscles. A typical Hatha yoga session in the drop-in yoga classes starts by performing asanas along with controlled breathwork and pranayama and ends with meditation. The Hatha yoga sessions are where students learn about practicing asanas according to their bodies. With our master yoga instructors, we make sure to help every student in getting familiar with their body alignment and perform asanas according to their bodily requirements.

Ashtanga Yoga

K. Pattabhi Jois introduced and popularized Ashtanga yoga, which is a more rigorous form of yoga than Hatha yoga. This is a structured sequence of asanas which consists of coordination of breath with flow of movements. According to the Patanjali sutras, Ashtanga yoga comprises eight steps which lead to yoga, also known as eight limbs. The yoga poses are created keeping these eight limbs of Patanjali Sutras in mind. These poses will benefit not only our physical health but will also focus on our mental and emotional abilities. Ashtanga Vinyasa offered by the Kerala Yogashala in their drop-in sessions requires a disciplined practice benefitting both mind and body. At Kerala Yogshala, we teach Ashtanga Vinyasa to our students, improving their endurance as well as flexibility. Whether you are looking to strengthen your muscles, improve the flow of your bodily movements, or deepen your overall yoga practice, drop-in classes of Ashtanga yoga are highly recommended. Our expert instructors guide you through the entire session and ensure a profound approach to wellness.

Yin yoga

Yin yoga is a slow-paced style of yoga which emphasizes a quieter and relaxed aspect of yoga. Yin yoga helps improve flexibility and activating energy flows that stabilizes the mind and emotions. If you are a traveler and visiting Varkala, then you must attend the drop-in yoga classes including Yin yoga in order to process their emotions and improve mobility. In the Yin yoga sessions, you will learn to hold postures for a longer duration which targets the connective tissues, joints, and ligaments.

Feel blessed I had the chance to attend Navadurga YTTC. It’s a tough intense and challenging experience that changes life for the better. In Navadurga I had the precious opportunity to study philosophy, meditation and adjustments from well prepared and professional teacher. But most of all I had the chance to practice yoga with a true yogi that considers yoga a path towards samadhi.

Viviana Bertu, 26 years I've found my sanctuary at this yoga studio

Incredible experience to dive into the Yoga, Indian culture and unique spiritual atmosphere of ancient Varkala. Highly recommend to start your way as a yoga teacher. Still miss my Indian Home, tasty food of Indian Mother and beautiful nature with the sound of ocean during your sleep at night 🙏 Very professional teachers and deep attitude to everything what they are doing. I was really lucky to find this place and such people!

Oleksandra Melanich, 28 years This is the best yoga studio ever!

I stayed at Navadurga Yoga School for a couple of weeks in November 2022. I felt most welcome by the team and family in this nature surrounded place with best home-made food. My goal was to get back to a daily Yoga & Pranayama routine and to deepen my practice. With the support of Shibin, yoga teacher and founder of the school, I achieved a wonderful pranayama technique and felt the big benefit of a daily discipline.

Carmen Gerner, 26 years Friendly yoga instructor and staff!

I completed my 200 hour ttc at Navadurga and it was a beautiful experience. The school is located in a perfect location near the beach, the temple and various cafes.
