WELCOME TO YOGA OF THE PYU
Yoga is well known for its ability to unlock our own natural processes for
restoration and regeneration physically, mentally, and emotionally. The Pyu were a tribe from northeast India where yoga originated. These Brahmins or priests migrated into Burma and established a highly spiritual cullture where yoga was a way of life.We will be using Hanthawaddy Yoga where proper alignment with correct postures and breath control are essential to provide us with energizing of the chakras.

The yoga systems listed below will help us to isolate and tone the muscles and nerves which help strengthen and straighten the spine. This enables us to breathe deeper, relax, and feel more enlivened. Simplicity of motion is the
goal. Even though this yoga takes training and discipline, great benefits can
be achieved by any exposure to these systems. We will be using the following yoga systems for more complete development of posturing and breath control.
