Yoga as an Art of Living<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

For us, yoga is more than physical and breathing exercises, more than a discipline. It is an Art of Living.<\/p>\n

Its teachings offer us a guidance to navigate life in a harmonious and balanced way<\/strong>, as well as create integration in all aspects.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Yoga means unity, integration<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The word Yoga comes from the root yuj, which means to yoke, to unite<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Its purpose is a state of complete integration of oneself with the One; The Heart, The Consciousness, The Self.<\/strong> The state of Yoga is defined as a state of pure consciousness and absolute bliss. Yoga is love, a state of plenitude, harmony, peace and absolute happiness.<\/p>\n

The word Yoga is also used to define the path that leads us to the state of integration. Therefore in this way, Yoga is an Art of Living.<\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

    Physical Yoga\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    As yoga means integration, we could say that the purpose of the physical practice of yoga, for us is to realise that integration\/ connection of the whole body and the mind.<\/p>\n

    We bring the ancient practice of yoga into our modern lifestyle and current needs.<\/p>\n

    It is a fact that we are living very sedentary lives in which our bodies are lacking of movement<\/strong>, and we are experiencing a serious disconnection with our body, breathe and mind.<\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

    In our yoga-asana sessions our intention is to share a practice where we can:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • rehabilitate the body and breathing patterns,<\/li>\n
    • increase the body range of motion,<\/li>\n
    • invite the integration of the body as a unit,<\/li>\n
    • stimulate the circulation of energy (pr\u00e2na<\/em>),<\/li>\n
    • bring awareness to our physical body and state of mind,<\/li>\n
    • experience on the mat some of the principal teachings of yoga such as harmony, truthfulness, respect, balance, openness, surrender, acceptance\u2026<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

      Our classes are for all levels of practice. The sessions combine Hatha Yoga and Vinyasa Yoga principles, as well as movement and mobility exercises.<\/strong><\/p>

      We usually have one practice of yoga-asanas per day. Some days there is morning classes, which are usually more dynamic and on long excursion days the classes are more gentle and restorative with Yin Yoga<\/strong>, when we back from the hikes.<\/p>

      Yoga classes are progressive,<\/strong> variations for different levels of practice and particular limitations are always offered.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
