STRETCH YOUR LIMITS

Improve your practice by leaps and bounds at Real Yoga’s Advanced Yoga class.

Do you feel like your yoga practice has recently plateaued? Then we’ve got the perfect class for you.

Sign up for Advanced Yoga at Real Yoga. The 120-minute class is based on the Ashtanga practice, an intensely physical and athletic style of yoga. It consists of the Primary Series taught in its traditional sequence. The class starts off with ancient breathing techniques called Nauli which includes Kriya and Bandha, and flows seamlessly into sun salutations and deep body stretching. It subsequently goes into standing, seated and inverted poses. Endurance and grace as emphasised during the class.

What’s great is that the poses taught during the class will vary slightly, depending on the students’ abilities. The teacher, Master Saumik – also the founder and yoga master of Real Yoga – teaches the Advanced Yoga class, so you can be assured that you’re in good hands.

Master Saumik gives his students the chance to learn cool and Instagramworthy yoga poses such as scorpion pose and dancer pose if they have already been practising yoga for some time. This allows the students to grow in their practice. The only way you’ll conquer challenging poses is by trying them out under proper instruction.

Join the Advanced Yoga class, and with regular attendance, you’ll gain muscle tone, strength and flexibility, as well as excellent mind control.

It’s worth noting that Master Saumik has specially selected the Real Yoga instructors, and that all of them are graduates from yoga institutes in India. So only the finest teaching methods are implemented at this yoga school, which has been established since 2008. Real Yoga prides itself as a place that teaches yoga from the heart.

“AS AN EXPERIENCED YOGI, I FOUND THE CLASS RATHER CHALLENGING. I LEARNT HOW TO DO ADVANCED POSES LIKE SCORPION AND SPLITS, PLUS DROPBACKS INTO WHEEL POSE. THE TEACHER, MASTER SAUMIK, PROVIDED MODIFICATIONS WHERE NECESSARY. A BIG PLUS: THE STUDIO USES MANDUKA MATS, MY GOLD STANDARD FOR YOGA MATS!” -SHAPE SPORTS AWARDS 2017 REVIEWER
