PRANAYAMA

Breathing exercises or pranayama help with maintaining good health. The current fast pace of living contributes to ignoring healthy breathing patterns i.e. shallow breathing. When only one section of the lungs is used in breathing, it results in inadequate amounts of oxygen which can lead to additional complications. Coronary diseases, sleep disorder and fatigue are just some of the indicators of lack of oxygen. For this reason, we become agitated and exposed to negative energy. Insufficient amounts of oxygen also lead to the lack of prana (vital energy) within the body. Practicing deep and continuous breathing through pranayama techniques allows us to raise the energy of our body.

HATHA YOGA

Hatha yoga is the most traditional yoga approach. This style emphasizes a correct body posture  (asana), harmonized breathing, flexibility and endurance. Hatha yoga is designed for all levels, from absolute beginners to advanced practitioners, because it allows a short break between every asana. It is ideal for both beginners and seniors. The Hatha yoga class start with breathing exercises followed by warm-ups, standing, seated and lying yoga positions. The class ends with guided deep relaxation and lasts for 90 minutes.

MEDITATION

SELF-MASSAGE WORKSHOPS

The self-massage technique encompasses acupressure, reflexology, deep pressure and comfortable stretching of all body muscles. Other than relaxation, it helps with joint mobility, contributes to good posture, breathing, flexibility, digestion and circulation. It contributes to muscle pliancy and reduces both emotional and nervous tension, which further results in deep inner peace during and after the workshop. Through these self-massage techniques, we get to know our body better, resulting in overall improved understanding of body structure which is especially helpful when giving massage to someone else.

5 TIBETAN

The Five Tibetan exercises for the spine, youthfulness and weight-loss activate all of our seven energy centers.

Practicing The Five Tibetan Rites allows our body to revive youthfulness and continue the self-healing process.

ASHTANGA YOGA

This is one of the most intense and demanding yoga styles that is especially suitable for the younger population because of its dynamic pace and challenging asanas. Every Ashtanga yoga class coordinates breathing with a series of advanced poses in Ashtanga Primary Series that are always completed in a set order. During the practice, intense warming up and sweating builds up our strength, flexibility and endurance. The final results are a strong, firm and light body, an improved circulation and a peaceful mind.

VINYASA FLOW YOGA

Vinyasa Flow yoga is a modern style of yoga, specifically tailored to the contemporary lifestyle. What differentiates it from the traditional Ashtanga yoga practice is that the poses (asanas) are not completed in a set order as well as the tempo itself: slower (Slow Flow) or more dynamic (Power Vinyasa). Every class focuses on different body parts: hip openers, balancing postures, forward bends, or backward bends. The term „vinyasa” generally refers to the sequencing of breath and movement as well as to the flow in which poses (asanas) are done. It is suitable for all levels and the duration of the class is 75 minutes.

YIN YOGA

The Yin yoga class emphasizes holding poses (asanas) for five minutes or longer. After getting into  a certain posture and staying there for a while, the focus becomes breathing. Through poses, lower body parts are activated- hips, pelvis, inner thighs and the lumbar spine. Yin yoga poses also stimulate activation of connective and deep tissues. Yin Yoga practice increases both circulation and joint flexibility, stimulates better flow of energy, contributes to overall organ health, improves the immune system and helps develop emotional stability. It is a meditative practice that cultivates inner silence. In addition, long pose holds contribute to developing patience.
