This introductory course, spread over 7 consecutive weeks, is intended for all those who wish to learn yoga smoothly and safely. Whether for relaxation, improving flexibility, managing stress, or breathing better, this course introduces you to and helps you experience the basic postures, breathing exercises and meditation techniques.

GENTLE HATHA YOGA

(LOW INTENSITY)

Hatha is the most ancient form of yoga and is at the basis of almost all current yoga styles. Gentle Hatha consists of breathing exercises, various postures and periods of relaxation. All postures are performed gradually and in harmony with slow and deep breathing. It is suitable for everyone and can be adapted to people suffering from joint pain or those seeking general relaxation.

YIN YOGA

(LOW INTENSITY)

Yin yoga is a slow-rhythm session whereby stretching positions are sustained for several tens of seconds. This approach helps increase the range of joint movement, including that of the hips and shoulders, thus reducing muscle tension. The science of yoga suggests that a Yin session stimulates energy circulation (flow). This method is perfect for people who wish to improve their flexibility or those who simply want to enjoy a moment of mindful relaxation.

REGENERATIVE YOGA

(LOW INTENSITY)

This is a gentle technique through which relaxation postures, often aided by accessories, are sustained for one to a few minutes. Using slow, deep and mindful breathing, this type of yoga helps balance the nervous system. Regenerative yoga is relaxing and suitable for people struggling with the negative effects of anxiety. Warm and comfortable clothes will make your experience more enjoyable.

FLOW YOGA

(MODERATE TO HIGH INTENSITY)

Yoga Flow is a dynamic type of yoga based on a sequence of postures. Transitional movements are integrated and synchronized with breathing. A yoga flow session allows you to reach high body temperature and high energy expenditure while "invigorating" the body.

FLOW & STRETCH YOGA

(MODERATE TO HIGH INTENSITY)

Flow & stretch yoga is a series of postures. It can be adapted to everyone, especially people who want to develop their muscle strength and flexibility. Some positions are sustained for a longer time, allowing for deep stretching.

FAMILY YOGA

(LOW INTENSITY)

It is an introductory yoga course offered to all family members from 8 to 88 years old! Emphasis is placed on simple breathing techniques and postural sequences that develop coordination, balance and mobility. The movements are adapted to everyone’s needs and capacity and can be easily re-created at home.

MAT PILATES (60 MINUTES)

(MODERATE TO HIGH INTENSITY)

Mat Pilates is made up mainly of dynamic exercises performed on the ground and whereby every movement is associated with a breathing phase. This training method focuses on strengthening the deep muscles around the spine and improving posture, mobility and stability. Pilates is often used in rehabilitation to reduce back pain. Accessories (balls, resistance bands and massage roller sticks) can be used to offer a range of different variants and adjust the level of difficulty.

ESSENTRICS (60 MINUTES)

(MODERATE TO HIGH INTENSITY)

Essentrics is a dynamic workout that lengthens and strengthens the body's muscles, improves joint mobility, and creates strong, slim and well-balanced muscles. This technique exercises the whole body and muscle chains, releasing and relaxing your muscles, thus relieving muscle tension. Essentrics is based on three main pillars of physical training: The graceful and therapeutic movements of tai-chi, the strengthening theories that underlie the slender and powerful muscles of ballet dancers, and the healing techniques of physiotherapy that drive out the pain.
