Hanging Yoga
Yoga Kurunta is a unique practice, in which gravity is used as a natural form of resistance. The wall and belt are
used as props to deepen the asanas and create a new level of openness. Yoga Kurunta helps students to develop
strength in both the large and small muscle groups, improve overall flexibility and mobility in the joints and
open the spine in every direction without compression. The inverted position means Hanging Yoga helps us to work
through fear and build self-confidence.
Hang upside down and practice yoga!
Meditation
Meditation is like a journey to what happens in our lives. By using your intuition, by listening, feeling and
following we become aware of our inner self. Normally our thoughts are like little children who are curious
about everything and everyone. They wander around, discover the world, get more and more information, and sometimes
they get lost. They need guidance. Meditation shows us the way to connect with ourselves to create joyful moments and
a conscious life. Upcoming Mindfulness Training
Mindfulness
Mindfulness is the opposite of mindlessness.
It means waking up out of autopilot and ‘taking the steering wheel’ of our attention again.
We practice mindfulness by maintaining a moment-by-moment awareness of our thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations
and the surrounding environment. Mindfulness also involves non-judgment, meaning that we pay attention to our
thoughts and feelings with the attitude of an impartial witness — without believing them or taking them
personally.
Jon Kabat Zinn defines mindfulness as:
“Paying attention; On purpose, in the present moment, and non-judgmentally.”

Pilates
Pilates is a stimulating exercise for body and mind with emphasis on a proper breathing and strengthening the
core muscles. In Pilates one works from the center of the body: the abdomen, lower back and pelvic floor
muscles. By practicing Pilates the muscles get stronger but also more flexible, the posture will improve and you
will be more aware how you move.
PRENATAL YOGA
Your pregnancy can be a beautiful, special time, providing an opportunity to turn inward and get in touch with
yourself and the baby you are carrying. An adapted lifestyle and proper nutrition will greatly influence your
well being during pregnancy, as do a quiet mind and emotional stability. This yoga class is meant for women
between weeks 13 and 36 of their pregnancy. Upcoming Prenatal Yoga course
VINYASA YOGA
Vinyasa yoga, in which movement is synchronized to the breath, is a term that covers a broad range of yoga
classes. This style is sometimes also called flow yoga, because of the smooth way that the poses run together
and become like a dance. The breath becomes an important component because the teacher will instruct you to move
from one pose to the next on an inhale or an exhale. Vinyasa is literally translated from Sanskrit as meaning
“connection”.
YIN YOGA
This style of yoga targets the deep connective tissues of the body (vs. the superficial tissues) and the fascia
that covers the body to help regulate the flow of energy in the body. Yin Yoga postures are more passive
postures, done mainly on the floor. Yin Yoga is unique in that you are asked to relax in the posture, soften the
muscles and move closer to the bone. Yin offers a deeper access to the body. The time spent in Yin postures is
much like time spent in meditation.
YIN & YANG YOGA
Yin & Yang yoga combines movement and stillness, creating a balance between feeling strong and being soft.
With Yang you’ll be moving in a dynamic, fluid way and work the muscles. With Yin you’ll stimulate the
meridians by relaxing the muscle and going to deep layers of connective tissues. Upcoming Introduction to Yin & Yang Yoga course
