The regular practice of yoga asanas leads to an entirely new body feeling.
The asana classes focus on:
- Deeper relaxation through conscious body stretching
- Gradual development of vital capacity through pranayama exercises
- Focus on important muscle groups in the asanas and the corresponding counterposes
- Challenging asana variations: including Lateral Forward Bend, Tortoise and challenging balancing poses
- Deepen your asana practice with Scorpion, Full Bow and Pigeon
- Asanas and proprioception: listening to the body’s inner language
- Balancing poses for inner balance
- Holding the poses: achieving deep concentration in each asana
Talks:
- Health benefits of asanas: understanding their effects on different body systems
- Meditation and concentration exercises for a clear and alert mind
- Yoga psychology: overcoming negative thoughts through positive thinking
- Yogic recipes: a 6-week plan for a tasty and healthy diet
