Derived from the principles of Taoist yoga, it is characterized by postures held for several minutes (2 to 5 minutes), combined with slow, deep breathing.

Over the course of the sessions, you will be able to access an unequaled level of calm and concentration which will allow you to learn to clear your mind.
The three fundamental principles of Yin yoga are:
– Respect your limits and find your happy medium.
– Stay calm and move as little as possible.
– Hold the postures as long as possible, savoring the sensations and come out of the pose if you feel pain.
Yin yoga works the body, the heart and the mind in depth. Through the hold time of the poses and the use of simple gravity as a lever of resistance, you will have a complete meditative experience, learn to let go and become truly aware of the present moment.
Hatha Yoga & Hatha Flow
Accessible to everyone
Transformation tool towards an inner renewal, to connect to this space of calm and benevolence which is in each of us. Balance and concentration, hatha yoga is a delight to harmonize body, heart and mind. Traditionally, the poses are held a minimum of 5 breaths in alignment and in body engagement. Taking the time to breathe and settle into the postures is essential in this style. Often we believe this is a class for beginners, but hatha yoga can be taken further with meditation techniques through postures and pranayama, breath work. Hatha yoga simply balances us.
Hatha flow is a balanced practice, a happy medium between hatha and vinyasa. Softer and slower than the latter, but much smoother and faster than hatha. The postures are dancing and graceful with the union of the breath in them.
This style of yoga is for all levels. You will link the postures in movement and static, in consciousness, focusing on the breath and the precision of the asanas.
Vinyasa Flow
for the more athletic
Vinyasa yoga is a dynamic yoga, a westernized practice uninhibited from Hindu dogma. It is essentially focused on the synchronization of the breath with the movement. In Vinyasa, the Ariadne's thread is your breath, an essential connection between the body and the mind that gives rhythm to each movement. This synchronization warms the body, thins the blood and strengthens the circulatory system by activating a process of elimination of toxins. .
The sequences are constructed so that one posture leads to another, thus creating a feeling of "flow", of sliding from one to the other. Concentrating on his practice and listening to his feelings, he allows you to empty the mind and achieve an impression of meditation in motion.
It is a very varied yoga, more playful and less rigorous than traditional yoga, A tonic yoga that refines, sculpts and straightens the body.
Whatever your choice, leave aside the ego for a practice without pain and without judgment.
Just be where you need to be in your posture, in your body, on your mat. Listen, feel, breathe and love yourself as you are with your imperfections. The primary goal of yoga is not to put your feet behind your head but to concentrate, to get to know yourself better to better understand the world and to reach a state of inner peace that leads to meditation. The asanas (postures) will allow you to refocus and circulate stagnant energies, to calm the mind, emotions, stress and anxiety that can overwhelm you, especially in this time of uncertainty.
Before your session, remember to inform your teacher of any health problem or physical constraint that could interfere in your practice. Preferably be on an empty stomach.
