What is yoga?

Yoga is a practice that connects the body, the breath, and the mind. This practice uses physical postures, breathing exercises, and meditation to improve overall health. Yoga developed as a spiritual practice thousands of years ago. Today most people in the West do yoga for exercise and to reduce stress.

Hatha & Vinyasa yoga is a very complete traditional discipline that seeks the connection between the body and the mind. Release stress by practicing your asanas and meditating.
Stop. To breathe. Relax. Connect with yourself. Get rid of the stress of the day.  A traditional discipline that seeks the union between the body and the mind in the present moment. An ideal practice for those who want to achieve a state of calm and concentration. Since its origins in India, yoga has evolved and divided into various streams. Hatha yoga, one of them, is one of the most widespread disciplines in the world, since it combines physical effort and meditation.

Yin yoga is a slow practice of asanas, whose postures are normally performed on the floor, and are held passively for a period of time between approximately 2 and 5 minutes, thus achieving a wide stretch, calming our mind and our body. Thanks to this delicate practice we can achieve pleasant sensations of well-being, perfect for disconnecting, enjoying and relaxing. It’s about staying still and moving slowly between posture and posture.

What is Pilates?

It is a discipline that is based on the development of internal muscles that helps maintain body balance and that firms and strengthens the spine. For this reason, Pilates is a method that is often used for rehabilitation, curing back pain or correcting body position. In addition, its practice when you do not have cervical or lumbar discomfort helps prevent bad posture and the consequences that they may have for the back. Pilates can be done with machines, on the floor, and with or without accessories. The most common practice is to go to a group class in which a monitor establishes some exercises. There are also other individual personalized ones for those who need more specific exercises.
