Dharma-rooted Yoga: Yoga Classes in Hawaii (See Visit Us)

(June 30, 2025)

Aloha, my yoga mates. How are you?

As a finishing touch to the foundation of myofascial release and restructuring that we have been working on for the first half of this year, in June, we gradually expanded our yoga studies from a “body conditioning” practice to a “mind conditioning” practice.

We will enter July this week, and in the northern hemisphere where we live, summer will be in full swing. I would like to incorporate a bit more Ayurvedic teaching(*) into our classes. In summer, when the fire energy of Pitta is at its strongest among the basic energy types of Tridosha taught in Ayurveda, cooling, slowing, and calming energy is the primary key to maintaining balance for good health.

This summer, I will continue to practice a healthy diet and lifestyle that suppresses Pitta, as well as breathing techniques to balance my body and mind, and explore new asana practices.

(*) Ayurveda, the “science of life” that has been handed down in India along with yoga for more than 3,500 years, teaches that the natural world, from our bodies and minds to the environment around us and the universe, is composed of the five elements: earth, water, fire, wind, and air. These five elements are combined and balanced by three energies called tri-dosha. However, when these elements are out of balance due to seasonal or environmental changes, illnesses and disasters can occur. Ayurveda, which teaches wisdom and methods to prevent such disasters, is also called Indian traditional preventive medicine.
