Yoga Basics

Yoga Basics is a lesson where we work on a strong foundation so we can practice Yoga on and off the mat. The lesson is built on synchronizing the breath (pranayama), the movement (asana) & meditation. Every lesson we will break down the postures and work on aligning the body by using props working on themes like; Happy Hamstrings, Relax & Restore, Backbends & Hart openers, Pranayama etc.

Proper breathing helps you execute movements with maximum power efficiency, by learning to breathe properly you reduce stress. In this lesson we use props to built up the movement.

Pilates & Yoga

This class is a fusion between Pilates & Yoga.
Pilates is an innovative and safe system of mind-body exercise based on the principles of Joseph Pilates. Pilates builds strength, it teaches body awareness, good posture, easy & graceful movement, agility and economy of motion. In Yoga, the body, breath and mind are seen as one. Using various techniques of Yoga we cultivate the experience of that union, leading to greater integration of being, internal peacefulness, and clarity. In Yogalates we combine the beauty of Yoga and Pilates and use a floor mat and props. Creating balance between mind, body and breath we want to cultivate health, happiness and a greater sense of self-awareness.
