 YOGA MOVES is a Shadow Yoga school where dedicated teachers guide students to their full potential. Classes range from beginner to advanced levels. YOGA MOVES offers holiday immersions as well as workshops with visiting teachers. 

Shadow Yoga, founded by Natanaga Zhander (Shandor Remete), is taught through the practice of set preparatory forms. These forms (preludes) are made of linear (sun) and circular (warrior/martial) stances which combine rhythmic breathing, rhythmic movement and bandha (internal locks) to release obstructions in the peripheral body and spine.Through simple repetitive movements, this systematic preparation of Hatha Yoga utilises the principles of Marmasthana (junctions of vital energy found on the surface of the body) effective in releasing (injury, trauma, or lifestyle) blockages in the body which ultimately leads to the unobstructed circulation of the life force.

Emphasis is placed on cultivating digestive fire (jatara agni) which nurtures blood and bone, and builds a strong constitution and healthy immune system.

As with other self cultivating arts, Shadow Yoga is taught in a course based format. This offers students a systematic, progressive, sequential understanding on which to build a solid yoga practice and a foundation for good health.

The style is graceful, fluid and dynamic with equal emphasis on movement and breath.
