WHY DORON YOGA?
There is a great need for yoga, even more so for the Doron Yoga™ holistic approach. Life today is very fast, technical, and stressful, with lots of expectations and distractions. Doron Yoga seeks to help people find balance in a practical way, using the foundations of Zen, ashtanga vinyasa, and Ayurveda blended with the most advanced contemporary research and knowledge of nutrition, neuroscience, health, breath work, and mind training.
Doron Yoga™ follows the flexitarian method, which considers each individual’s specific needs within their specific circumstances. The Yoga Lifestyle book dives deeper into these concepts and practices.
The Doron Yoga™ sequences are masterfully crafted so you stretch and activate every part of your body in every class. The sequences ensure you leave class balanced, powerful, and high on life.
