Iyengar yoga Iyengar yoga is a yoga system developed by and named after Yogacharya BKS Iyengar, who has systemised classical yoga asanas (postures) and pranayama (breathing exercise). Emphasis is put on precision, duration of the postures and the sequencing of these postures. With the use of props, performing yoga asanas become possible for everybody, even in case of lack of flexibility, illness or old age.
Egyptian yoga, pranayama and deep relaxation Courses represent techniques that act in depth on the body, respiration and the mind. The teaching program is focused on the development of the person by means accessible to all and based on a deep knowledge of the practices of Yoga, meditation, relaxation, and breathing techniques, specifically addressing current problems. The effects of the proposed practice are concretised by improvements in the position of the back, breathing amplitude, the good circulation of energies in the physical and psychic bodies that bring the practitioner to a state of general well-being.
Gentle flow (Yin and yang yoga) Classes are open to all levels. It is a gentle flow where the movement is synchronised with the breath while developing our body awareness. Each class is different corresponding to the changing needs of our body; sometimes we need to slow down and relax more in yin poses and sometimes our body longs for more powerful yang (such as vinyasa) practice. In yin part of the class, we hold each pose for a longer time, while yang presents more dynamic sequence in the practice where we work with our muscles to give you energy and build strength.
Hatha (Flow) & Restorative Yoga Hatha yoga is about finding balance and reconnect with your breath. A hatha flow class will involve more movements and pace than a traditional hatha yoga one, based on a Vinyasa approach. The concept of restorative practice is different, in this case the purpose of this class will be to completely relax and bring a deep sense of calm, stillness in the mind and in the body by remaining in different poses for a longer period of time. Depending on the classes and the theme or focus, we go through mantras, pranayama, philosophy of yoga, asanas, relaxation, meditation,..
Fascia training Fascia is the system of connective tissue found everywhere in our body covering all of our inside, starting from muscle fibres to each and every muscle, the organs and running in layers underneath the skin. These fascia layers are all interconnected and their gliding quality resonates with how well or bad we feel ourselves in our body. By specifically designed exercises, we can ameliorate this gliding quality, regain range of movement in the articulations, prevent the fascia from becoming matted and old and thus reduce pain and cramps in the body. The classes include exercises that act on different areas of the body (e.g. lower back, neck, shoulder, hips, feet, etc.) and with the combination of stretching, foam rolling, small elastic movements and breathing exercises, aim at evoking all the different types of neural endings situated in our fascial system.
