Garuda Training this April, Book your spot now!

Garuda draws its influence from Yoga, Pilates, Tai Chi and Dance, amalgamating different types of movement into a vast yet cohesive repertoire, complete with a unified philosophy and defined setof principles. We’ve developed comprehensive apparatus and matwork syllabuses to challenge practitioners to take their practice to a whole new level.

This contemporary barre workout incorporates the physicality and grace of dance. Different aspects of the yoga asana are brought in to establish alignment and stretch in the body. Rhythm andflow are paramount, adagio and allegro are two aspects of movement quality that are constantly introduced. Here balance and strength work side by side to create a sense of length and flow.The work moves from remedial to advanced as different strength bands are introduced in to widen the repertoire.

Chakra is the defining word that aligns our newly produced form rollers with the work outs we have created in opening, lengthening and strengthening our form. The word aptly described as the energetic wheel, allows us to challenge ourselves proprioceptionally whilst engaging our mental and physical prowess. James has incorporated the Garuda repertoire and cleverly devised the movement material in making it as simple or advanced as the practitioner would require it. Chakra is the wheel of discovery, the energetic wheel that engages your physical, mental and spiritual well-being.

Garuda reviews have been organized to review the Garuda principles, dissect the repertoire, revisit hands on & cuing skills. Discuss case studies and emphasize the functionality of the Garuda material. These reviews are important to create a confidence in the teacher and move the participant on to the next level.
