During my classes, we gradually work on all of these aspects!
A general warm-up to prepare the body for the targeted warm-up that follows. By choosing a goal (it can be a posture, a group, or a sequence), we warm up the relevant parts in a targeted manner through exercises and positions, gradually increasing the intensity and effort.
We usually end the training phase with a short sequence or positions held for longer.
After that, you rebalance the body by moving in directions other than those trained, but without overexerting yourself.
A moment of total relaxation of the body in savasana or other positions of absolute rest brings the practice to a close.
Classes can be in the classic mode: in a group. Or private: to work individually on specific goals or particular difficulties.
Also online via a PC, smartphone, or tablet. What you get out of the practice is exactly what you decide to invest in it.
One hour of practice per week is excellent exercise and will allow us to regain flexibility and strength. If we introduce 5-10 minutes a day into our routine, we will see our body change and improve quickly.
If we start practicing deeper techniques, mindfulness exercises, or meditation, we will also see a change in our mood and mind..
By becoming calmer, more patient, attentive, and aware. By being able to not let ourselves get carried away by events.
Hatha: in Sanskrit, it means force or strong. This is what we will ask of our body and mind. To become stronger and more flexible. Being in a group is a great way to progress. Comparing ourselves with others, seeing that a fellow practitioner has the same difficulties or overcomes what is holding us back can inspire us to go further. Even if the motivation is just the weekly hour away from commitments, the energy of practicing in a group will soon follow.
Mindfulness embraces science and tradition.
Specific paths to regain awareness.
VWe live most of our time on autopilot, doing things mechanically, but our minds are not present! Mindfulness leads us to be present in the here and now. Through awareness exercises, meditation techniques, and breathing exercises, you can take back control. You can attend sessions where exercises are taught and certain mental mechanisms are explained. It is then very important to apply these teachings in your daily life and gradually review your progress and difficulties with your teacher (mindfulness facilitator).
Is yoga good for you? Yes, but what if it is not done properly? New students often come to me and say: my doctor has recommended that I do yoga… The aim of this type of practice is to be able to communicate and collaborate with health and wellness specialists, so that yoga can be tailored to each student in a personalized, therapeutic way, in line with the holistic approach of PNEI (Psycho Neuro Endocrine Clinical Immunology). The practices will be less dynamic, structured to increase proprioception and self-control as much as possible, also with the help of supports and greater corrections by the teacher.
A private lesson with the constant attention of the teacher definitely has a different impact. Whether it’s to achieve a specific goal, a particular asana, or to increase strength and balance. Whether it’s to practice in a more personal way without having to keep up with the class pace. Or even dictated by scheduling needs, allowing you to practice at the time and place that best suits your needs. In fact, they can be done at home with me in person or through a live video lesson.
