The Studio
This is a studio in Atlanta, Georgia that specializes in the YogaSkills™ Method of authentic Kemetic Yoga and is dedicated to the sharing, learning and love of Yoga. Located in the historic district of the West End, we strive to make this ancient African system of self-healing, self-realization and self-actualization accessible and understandable to it’s local community and the greater metro area.
Kemetic Yoga is a totally restorative practice that promotes the philosophy and spiritual science of our ancestors. This system of higher knowledge that originates from Kemet (Ancient Egypt) is unique in its postures, principles and its method which incorporates the breath with movement for a safe, regenerative and healing practice, making it usable with any other yoga system. With emphasis on control of the breath and an understanding of the flow of energy through one’s body and geometrically progressive movements, Kemetic Yoga is the means to achieving a state of balance, harmony, order and justice called Maat. Firehawk Yoga does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, sex, nationality, ethnicity, language, religion or belief system, pregnancy, age or size. Modifications may be made for injuries and disabilities so that all bodies can participate.
This warm and comfortable studio space with ceilings to the sky, with sky-lights and windows that spill natural light into it is the perfect place to relax the mind and body to experience the spritual growth that awaits. Small group classes ensure attention can be paid to the body’s alignment and all-around comfort. Let the professional and careful instruction at Firehawk show you the path to achieving total self-development with the breath, meditation and movement. The studio shares space with N’Golo Atlanta, the city’s only authentic Capoeira Angola training facility and Roots Raw Kitchen which serves live food education, and keeps its library of conscious books and dvds open to encourage the learning.
Firehawk Yoga offers weekly group classes, private group or one-on-one and consultations. In addition to its regularly scheduled classes, the studio also offers a variety of workshops includin, Kemetic Yoga for Strength, Children’s Kemetic Yoga, Restorative, Meditation & YogaSkills Power Method (advanced).
