Sukhita Yoga
Sukhita Yoga is a new methode of Yoga that is highly inspiring.
Created by Hugh Poulton and Sarah Haden, Sukita Yoga is putting our ability to “softly listen” at the core of the practice.
“The stiffest muscle is the one between our ears” (meaning our mind), always says Hugh. Our mental attitude is affecting our response in the body, when facing a difficult Asana, for e.g. Can we smile through the practice and find the joy in every breath?
The transitions between the Asanas are as important as the Asanas. We are learning to know where to place our attention, to feel rooted and light at the same time. We learn to gently use our core to remove tensions in the body; to move from our center like the dancers to let the body express its natural sense of balance, and free our mouvements. We learn to remain centered, grounded, and relax our mind; to flow in life, like in our practice, with more ease and support.
