Yanumoja Yoga

Yanumoja yoga is based on Hatha traditions. The first
syllable yan (to retain) is taken from the word yantra
which means ‘device that allows focusing of energies’.
Umoja means unity in Kiswahili. Yoga means to join or
yoke into oneness.
Founded by Nikki Manzie, Yanumoja Yoga is the focusing
of one’s energy toward union to culminate in a state
of wholeness or oneness. It holds the intent to harmonize
with our true nature while fully engaging with life.
Yanumoja yoga offers eclectic wisdom, experience and style.
Classes vary in content and most include the use of themes—I
work with the energetic flow of the seasons (earth, water,
fire, air, ether elements and yin-yang) and the subtle
energy body (the chakras). Classes begin with a brief
introduction to the subject, a centering exercise and
breath work followed by a gentle warm-up, progressing
into strengthening postures, and winding down with stretching,
relaxation and meditation to create a space of peace,
rejuvenation and increased awareness. Classes
are offered at Energies of Aliveness studio space in Wakefield,
Quebec.
