Yoga

• Who is this course for?

This course is for those interested in working closely with a teacher to improve themselves in a group setting. This is done by working with the three aspects of our existence: body, speech, and mind. 

A special emphasis is placed on:

• Correcting the posture and improving functional movements

• Enhancing flexibility and range of motion

• Developing stability and strength

It is essential that anyone interested in attending classes regularly undergo a personal assessment. The goal of the evaluation is to determine which exercises and classes are suitable for the candidate by examining the body's strength, flexibility, range of motion, etc. The candidate's general state of health, past or present injuries, and ongoing conditions of any kind are also taken into consideration during this evaluation. In certain cases, some individualized personal training might be a prerequisite for coming to group classes,  depending on the class, capacity of the body, etc. The assessment is a one-on-one one-hour session: EVALUATION.

About the Yoga classes

The aim is to progress by building awareness from the inside and moving towards working with the entire body. Sessions begin with meditation, which serves to cultivate an appropriate intention and state of mind. Next comes the pranayana. These breathing techniques use the subtle energies of the body to warm it up and prepare it for the exercises. After this comes the exercises and yoga positions, which slowly build up the body’s flexibility. While continuing to make use of the earlier meditation and breathing, the positions also improve practitioners' quality of life, including their mental awareness, character, and bodily posture.
