Yoga

When your life is racing at full speed, so is your mind. Restorative yoga helps to restore physical and mental balance to prevent or even alleviate stress, anxiety, sleep disorders, etc.

By using aids such as pillows, blankets, blocks, etc., it is much more relaxing to hold the poses for longer, giving you all the benefits of a deep, passive stretch.

However, Restorative Yoga is not stretching in that sense and there is no end goal, like being able to touch your toes.

Rebecca invites you in her Restorative Online Class to explore what happens when you release the tension your body usually holds. Restorative Yoga for a better Sleep :)

The teacher can support you immediately with specific adjustments. This enables correct alignment in every asana (posture). The student's body awareness and coordination improve quickly, physical complaints are quickly alleviated and even permanently solved. Personal training is especially recommended for beginners at the start or after a few lessons in order to be in the ideal alignment from the beginning.

Many choose personal training continuously because of the individual, tailor-made support.

• We recommend personal training for your individual, flexible and holistic health management.
• You get one-to-one training with individual support & corrections
• more motivation through varied, tailor-made training units
• individual @home programme, if desired

The 26+2 sequence is a series of 26 postures and two breathing exercises that are performed in a specific order. The postures are designed to work on every part of the body, including the muscles, joints, and internal organs, and to promote strength, flexibility, and balance.

The first half of the sequence consists of standing postures, including standing deep breathing, half-moon pose, and eagle pose. These postures help to warm up the body and build strength and flexibility in the legs, hips, and spine.

The second half of the sequence consists of floor postures, including spine strengthening series, cobra pose, and rabbit pose. These postures focus on stretching and strengthening the spine and promoting healthy digestion and elimination.

The two breathing exercises, which are performed at the beginning and end of the sequence, are designed to increase lung capacity and oxygenate the body.

The 26+2 sequence is often practiced in a heated room, practicing the 26+2 yoga sequence in a normal temperature can offer several benefits. Firstly, it can make the practice more accessible and comfortable for individuals who may find the heat challenging or uncomfortable. 

Practicing in a cooler room can also help to regulate body temperature, allowing practitioners to focus on their breath and movements without the distraction of excessive heat. 

Finally, practicing in a normal temperature can help practitioners to build endurance and stamina, as they are not relying on external heat to provide energy or support.

Light Yoga helps us on our way to liberation, healing, and self-awareness and is an awareness that leads to an expansion in the body, a deepening of the soul ANL, and elevation to spirituality based on the light consciousness philosophy of David Wared.

But our experience has shown that you feel even more powerful and courageous in yoga’s headstand positions and arm balances if you additionally strengthen your middle and push your endurance at least once a week. We do exercises combining fitness and Pilates, then conclude the hour with gently stretching yoga exercises. Not only athletes need endurance, we all do to get through the day that so often robs us of our energy.  And best of all: your mood improves with the power of your body. So every hour is a wonderful mixture for mind and body. We look forward to working with you!

Spiritual Warrior is a powerful, but abbreviated Jivamukti Yoga session lasting just sixty minutes. It has a fixed sequence and is instructed flowingly in vinyasa style. Spiritual Warrior is a rounded session with a brief warm up, sun salutation, standing positions, back bends, forward bends, turns, headstands, meditation, and relaxation. The focus of the hour is placed on combining breathing and movement and the flowing course of positions. There is less theory or yoga philosophy involved. The sequence is always the same and thus easy to learn. Even if the first few times are a bit more difficult, you will soon be able to sink into the well-planned sequence.

You exercise within your own possibilities, supported by the instruction of the teacher and his or her assists, The yoga positions (asanas) have different degrees of difficulty for beginners, the advanced, and “grown” experts.

A typical Jivamukti Open-session includes not only flowing vinyasa asana sequences and conscious breathing, but also the five columns of Jivamukti Yoga. These are shastra (texts), bhakti (dedication), ahimsa (non-violence), nada (music), and dhyana (meditation).

In this way, classical yoga teaching is taught and also sung that is relevant for life on and off the yoga mat, inspired by the “focus of the month.”

There are fourteen points in every Jivamukti Open session, a creative combination of yoga positions, mediation, spiritual teaching, and relaxation assembled by the instructor.

And of course music plays an important role in the open hour. Beside chanting and singing mantras, we exercise to various forms of inspiring music.

The open class lasts 75 minutes.

The aim of the yoga practice is to consciously let the life energy flow in order to master everyday life more calmly and flexibly.

Experience the sense of profound immersion spending several minutes in a position, feel your limits and learn to let go. Direct your attention inward, observe your thoughts and be present in the here and now. Breathing, meditation, and asana combine to a very deep, opening, and healing yoga practice.

By holding the positions for a long time with aids, we work the deeper layers of the body, the fascia, the connective tissues, and the joints and tendons.
