The DeRose Method, also called SwáSthya Yôga (pronounced sooastia), is a contemporary codification of the Dakshinacharatántrika-Niríshwarasámkhya Yôga. This Ancient Yôga dates from more than 5,000 years ago, and was systematized by Master DeRose in the 60´s after 24 years of researching in India. It has a modern approach and it is extremely complete, with fundamental elements found in different types of Yôga, such as Ásana Yôga, Rája Yôga, Bhakti Yôga, Karma Yôga, Jñána Yôga, Laya Yôga, Mantra Yôga and Tantra Yôga.
Its complete practice has eight different varieties of techniques: mudrá (reflexological hand gesture), pújá (energy dinamization), mantra (vocalizations of sounds and ultra-sounds), pránáyáma (breathing techniques), kriyá (purification techniques), ásana (physical techniques), yôganidrá (relaxation), samyama (concentration, meditation and hyperconsciousness).
The DeRose Method is always performed in a choreographic format, executing linking movements between each position, creating beautiful chains through the ásanas.
