YOGA
Yoga describes a variety of physical, mental and spiritual practices derived in ancient India. A regular yoga routine improves not only your physical health, fitness and flexibility but is incredibly helpful also to create a sense of inner strength, balance and calm on mental-emotional level.
1 to 1 Yoga - What to expect?
Look forward to a yoga class designed to suit your personal abilities and needs - this could be a calm and gentle restorative approach, a focus on strengthening and exercising tight and tense muscle groups, a more dynamic and stronger workout or (most of the times) a combination of it all. Slow stretches flow and alternate with more dynamic strengthening sequences, synchronizing movements and breath.
You will learn and explore some essential and very useful breathing techniques (pranayama). Depending on the length of your booking and preference you will complete your yoga class with a wonderfully relaxing guided deep relaxation (yoga nidra) and/ or a short guided mindfulness meditation practice.
​
Hands on adjustments to postures are offered throughout, allowing you to bring your body into best possible alignment available to you and work with the level you are at.
​
Yvi's classes draw from hatha, kundalini, raja and bhakti yoga, emphasising a mindful and integrated understanding of your being. The 1 to 1 format allows for a versatile, bespoke and very personal experience.
