Yoga
Yin Yoga
Yin yoga is a gentle and passive style of yoga that focuses on long-held, deep stretches and relaxation. Unlike more active yoga styles, Yin yoga involves holding seated or lying down poses for extended periods, often ranging from 3 to 5 minutes or even longer. These extended holds target the body's connective tissues, like ligaments and fascia, promoting flexibility and joint mobility.
Yin yoga also encourages mindfulness and a meditative mindset as practitioners surrender to the sensations in each pose. It's an excellent choice for those seeking deep relaxation, stress relief, and a chance to release tension stored in the body. Yin yoga is suitable for all levels and complements more dynamic yoga practices and active lifestyles. I recommand having props such us blocks or books as replacements, blankets, bolster or cushions.
Chair Yoga
Designed specifically for the corporate setting, our chair yoga classes offer a rejuvenating break from the daily grind, providing employees with an opportunity to unwind, destress, and re-energize right at their desks. Through gentle stretches, mindful breathing exercises, and relaxation techniques, participants can alleviate tension, improve posture, and enhance mental clarity, leading to increased productivity and overall well-being. With our friendly instructors guiding each session, chair yoga becomes a cherished ritual that fosters a positive and supportive work culture, where employees feel valued, motivated, and ready to tackle any challenge that comes their way. Join us and experience the transformative power of chair yoga in the office today!
Pilates
Pilates is a holistic and low-impact exercise method that focuses on strengthening the core muscles, improving flexibility, and enhancing overall body awareness. Developed by Joseph Pilates in the early 20th century, this fitness system emphasizes controlled movements, precise alignment, and mindful breathing. Pilates exercises can be performed on a mat, standing or using equipment, to target specific muscle groups. It's an effective way to build core strength, improve posture, and promote a balanced and toned physique while minimizing the risk of injury. Pilates is suitable for people of all fitness levels and can be customized to meet individual needs and goals.
In my Pilates classes I offer options with props, also variations for beginners and advanced for most of the exercises.
As equipment you will need a mat, optional a small ball andl weights. Wear comfortable clothes and avoid having a heavy meal before class.
Reiki
Reiki healing is a holistic and non-invasive energy healing practice that originated in Japan. During a Reiki session, a practitioner uses their hands to channel universal life force energy (known as "ki" or "chi") into the recipient's body. This gentle and soothing energy aims to promote relaxation, balance, and the body's natural ability to heal itself.
Reiki is often administered with the recipient fully clothed and lying down, or it can be directed to specific areas of the body. It is believed to alleviate stress, reduce pain, and enhance overall well-being by clearing energy blockages and restoring the body's energy flow. While the experience is deeply relaxing, Reiki is not a replacement for medical treatment but is often used as a complementary therapy to support physical, emotional, and spiritual healing.
Reiki sessions are done normally one to one, however in some situations, Reiki healing sessions ca be done on a group such as family, workshop on a specific theme, etc. Reiki can be done after a yoga restorative class or after any yoga class or on its own. A Reiki session last for 15-20 minutes, however can be extended to 30 minutes in some situations. Please email me if you need more information about Reiki healing sessions.
