Traditional yoga

What is traditional yoga?

How do you navigate the different types of yoga?

To better understand the so-called “traditional” types of yoga, here is a quick overview of the different types of yoga I propose:

1 – VINYASA YOGA: THE DANCING

What is it? This form of yoga is based on a series of choreographies and stable postures creating a flow. Breathing and movement are at the heart of this discipline. Ideal for anxious people.

Its benefits? You will discover an unparalleled synergy between breathing and strength training and you improve your balance and flexibility.

2 – POWER YOGA: THE MODERN

What is it? Here, we put everything on the body. Meditation is significantly relayed in the background in favor of muscle building. Breathing occupies here also an important importance in the almost gymnastic movements.

Its benefits? This form of yoga offers unprecedented active relaxation and muscle building.

3 – RESTORATIVE YOGA: RELAXATION OF BODY AND MIND

What is it? Restorative Yoga is a meditation that is incorporated into a physical relaxation that creates a deep relaxation of the body. This physical relaxation is achieved through the use of supports such as bolsters, blankets, bricks, straps, chairs… this in order to allow certain joints of the body to be bent slightly and thus to eliminate any muscle tension. Ideal for combating stress.

Its benefits? Allows the nervous system to calm down instantly by feeling supported. Letting go is then possible for an assured regenerating effect.

4 – YOGA NIDRA: THE INTERIORIZED

What is it? Yoga Nidra is a kind of lucid sleep. It involves breathing and visualization exercises throughout a guided meditation. The mind is immersed in a kind of half-sleep and our body is totally under the influence of the mind.

Its benefits? You access a state of deep relaxation. Improves sleep through conscious communication with the unconscious.

How's a session going?

Regardless of the length of a session, the course begins with a time to refocus.

Vinyasa and Power Yoga:

After a short warm-up,the course becomes stimulating and dynamic. Succession of adapted sequences that change and evolve each time. Incorporating variations in standing, sitting, lying postures, and sometimes mixing strength, flexibility, hip opening, ribcage and bending.

I will guide you through gentle and fluid sequences that soothe the nervous system while awakening the body in a moving and mindfulness manner.

One of the priorities of the course is to ensure your safety and avoid injuries and that is why I will check your positions and offer you options.

Restorative yoga:

Smooth postures. Supported by accessories, you can relax and let go of all the tensions. Relaxation through the body.

Nidra Yoga:

When lying down, you will be guided throughout the session. You will probably struggle to stay awake during this session but the benefits will be such that you will not be able to do without it!
