VINYASA FLOW & YIN YOGA

Consciously practicing mindfulness strengthens the connection between mind and body and offers us insights into what we are doing. In our sunrise morning sessions we will engage our thoughts, feelings and connection to our bodies. In our afternoon yin yoga classes we will embark on a soothing and restorative journey that invites us to look at the body with openness, tenderness and curiosity.

MINDFULNESS MEDITATION & THE ART OF JOURNALING

Focus on the present moment using breathing practices, mental imagery, muscle and body relaxation. Complementary Journaling helps us to focus on the positive and important things in life through targeted notebook entries.
