What are the benefits of yoga practice?

Regular exercises contribute to:

Physical health
- Strengthening and stretching muscles, and promoting joint flexibility, prevent injury, improve mobility and reduce pain.
- Improving blood circulation through breathing techniques increases stamina and energy.
- Regular practice reduces stress and anxiety and improves your psycho-emotional state by lowering the level of cortisol, the stress hormone, in your blood.
- Through regular practice your body also produces natural analgesics and ‘happiness’ hormones, with a beneficial effect on well-being and mood.
Mental balance
- Regular yoga practice, including meditation, deep breathing and relaxation, helps reduce stress and anxiety, improves mental well-being and reduces the risk of developing psychosomatic illnesses.
- It also helps you to develop self-regulation skills and an ability to manage your emotions.
- Through yoga you will understand yourself better, your needs and goals, resulting in increased self-esteem and confidence.
- Regular practice also helps combat depression and other psychological disorders.
Concentration of the mind
- Developing mindfulness during yoga practice helps you become more mindful and anchored in the present, improving awareness of the world around you and your ability to concentrate on tasks.
- Breathing exercises and focusing on specific points in the body help regulate the flow of thoughts, increasing mental clarity and relieving stress.
- By increasing your concentration and awareness you can think more deeply, increase your productivity at work or school, manage your time better and solve problems more effectively.
- Yoga and meditation practice promotes deep and restorative sleep.

How are classes conducted?

When practising yoga, we use its five integral elements:

movement of the body (Body)

regulation of breathing (Breath)

circulation of the blood (Blood)

concentration of the mind (Mind)
awareness of the processes occurring
inside and around us (Soul).

Thus the process of yoga can be described as 3B+MS.

Classes involving the 3B+MS take the following forms, depending on your individual needs, goals and experience:

Mapping

Your yoga program is built taking into account the characteristics of your body, any medical issuesand contraindications that you may have, as well as your psychological state. In the early stages, Imap muscle balance, tension and mobility, helping to identify possible imbalances and mobility problems.
I provide comprehensive feedback on your musculoskeletal system and identify exactly whatexercises are needed to strengthen and stretch your muscles and improve your mental well-being.

Preparation

Light warm-up and stretching help to prepare the muscles and joints for more intense asana practice.
They also help to prevent possible injuries. Before moving on to asanas, it is important to focus on your breathing and body. This helps to create a connection between the body and mind and also ensures deeper performance of asanas.

Free-style yoga poses & movements

Each part of the body needs special care, through the free-style yoga poses and movements designed specially for them. Even the smallest and most delicate parts of your body - teeth, jaws, cheekbones, tongue – need attention in order to cleanse and strengthen the body.
These exercises help relieve stress, reduce muscle tension and anxiety, improve health and prolong the life of the yoga practitioner.

Asana practice

Postures known as asanas play a key role in storing energy and delivering the benefits of yoga practice. To achieve the best results, I follow the rules and methods established by long tradition for each asana.
During exercises it is important to pay attention to both posture and breath regulation, as well as to your capacity for contemplation. Critical to all asanas are body movement, breathing practices, blood circulation, mental control and mental balance.

Breathing techniques

The practice of pranayama will not only increase your physical and mental strength, but also promote harmony in your inner world. The regulation of breath maintains vitality and improves organ function, especially the functioning of the heart and brain.
Pranayama also helps purify the blood, prevents diseases related to the lungs and heart and creates a balance between the various elements of our body, which allows us to feel more energetic and enjoy life more fully.

Deep relaxation & meditation

Deep relaxation and meditation play an important role in improving physical and mental well-being.
They release us from the tension and stress that accumulate in everyday life and help us toachieve a state of inner harmony and equanimity.
Deep relaxation helps improve sleep quality, reduces anxiety and strengthens the immune system.
Meditation helps to improve concentration, clarity of thought and awareness, all of which would benefit us enormously in our daily life.
