What is Masala Yoga?
"Masala" is the Hindi word meaning "spicy blend." Masala Yoga is a
versatile and creative blend of Hatha Yoga disciplines
integrating strength, fluidity, alignment, inner guidance,
breath, and meditation, for a complete and absorbing
mind/body/spirit experience. Classes are dynamic as well as
meditative, synthesizing elements from Classical Hatha,
Iyengar, Viniyoga, Ashtanga Vinyasa, and Kundalini Yoga, and
practices derived from Chi-Qung, Tai Chi, Dao-In, modern
movement techniques, and Thai Yoga Bodywork. Yogic breathing
(Pranayama) is incorporated into the practice, enhancing focus
and concentration. Each class ends with deep relaxation
(Shavasana) to soothe and calm the entire system.
The Masala Yoga Studio, located in Caldwell, is a tranquil oasis where
students are encouraged to delve into and explore their relationship
to yoga, and to themselves. Classes are small, with nurturing
hands-on attention from the teacher. Poses are offered in multiple
stages, making the practice accessible to students of any level of
ability. Each class is spontaneous, created "in-the-moment,"
depending upon the needs and requests of the students.
