When a Student Enrolls

Geeta makes it clear to her students that the program is long duration and they must be regular for their classes. She collects information about her student’s health and lifestyle and provides them with the guidelines for asana and pranayama practice. She emphasizes the need to cultivate certain discipline and control in their lives.

Students with Health Issues

Geeta explains that nothing happens without a reason and there is a definite cause for every health problem. Geeta takes special care in teaching the asanas and pranayamas that will provide relief and also advices her students to make certain lifestyle changes that will improve their health. Geeta reiterates that with dedicated and regular repetitive practice one can find improvement in their physical and mental health. With time the immune system will be strengthened and many health issues can be healed and prevented.

About the Classes

Geeta’s classes are multi-level and consist of small groups. The classes begin and end with chants from the Vedas. The chants create peace not only within the individual but also in the environment. Geeta believes, that a positive attitude is essential during the practice which will help to refresh, renew and heal the body and mind.

Geeta begins her classes with gentle yoga warm ups to awaken the cells and release tensions from the muscle groups and joints. These warm ups prepare the mind and body for the asana practice. She  encourages her students to use props such as wall, table,chair, blocks, ropes and cushions to avoid strain. Step by step instructions are provided; emphasis is given on inward focus, proper alignment, correct breathing and positive mindset. Geeta makes sure that her students adjust well and feel comfortable in every asana. She does not progress to the difficult variations unless they have learnt to adjust and adapt comfortably in the simpler asanas.

Geeta tells her students that pranayama is not easy; it requires strong motivation and sincere effort. The best time to learn and practice is early hours of every morning when the mind and body are fresh and the outside environment is free from noise and pollution. Experienced students practice each pranayama for at least 5 minutes. Surya Namaskar is taught only after achieving some level of flexibility and inverted asanas are taught after a year of dedicated practice of the standing, reclining and sitting asanas.
