Yoga
Yoga is a search for health, personal balance, wellbeing and inner-awareness
I harmoniously blend contemporary and traditional aspects of yoga, creating a practice that integrates the best of both worlds. Modern somatic techniques are seamlessly merged with the ancient Indian traditions of Nâtha-Yoga, encompassing physical postures (asanas), breathing techniques (pranayama), meditation, and deep meditative relaxation (Yoga-Nîdra). It aims to harmonize the body, mind, and spirit, and cultivate self-realization and inner transformation. Nâtha-Yoga is considered a comprehensive system that incorporates physical fitness, mental clarity, emotional balance, and personal/spiritual development. It is often practiced under the guidance of a qualified teacher who can provide proper instruction and guidance in the specific techniques and practices associated with this style of yoga.

PRIVATE YOGA THERAPY SESSIONS
Yoga therapy is a holistic approach to healing and promoting well-being that combines the principles and practices of yoga with traditional therapeutic techniques. It involves the use of specific yoga postures (asanas), breathing exercises (pranayama), meditation, and relaxation techniques to address physical, mental, and emotional health issues.
Yoga therapy is tailored to the individual's specific needs and health conditions. It takes into account the person's physical abilities, limitations, and overall health goals.
The practice of yoga therapy is based on the belief that the body, mind, and spirit are interconnected, and imbalances or blockages in one area can affect the others. By using various yoga techniques, yoga therapy aims to restore balance, improve overall health, and alleviate specific symptoms or conditions.
Yoga therapy can be beneficial for a wide range of physical and mental health conditions, including but not limited to:
1. Chronic pain: Yoga therapy can help manage and reduce pain associated with conditions such as arthritis, back pain, fibromyalgia, and migraines.
2. Stress and anxiety: The mindfulness and relaxation aspects of yoga therapy can help reduce stress levels, calm the mind, and promote a sense of well-being.
3. Depression: Yoga therapy may help alleviate symptoms of depression by increasing serotonin levels, improving mood, and fostering a sense of self-care and self-compassion.
4. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD): Yoga therapy techniques like breathing exercises and gentle movements can aid in managing symptoms of PTSD, such as anxiety and hypervigilance.
5. Sleep disorders: Certain yoga practices can promote relaxation and improve sleep quality for individuals experiencing insomnia or other sleep-related issues.
PRIVATE YOGA NIDRA SESSIONS
Yoga nidra is a systematic method of incucing complete physical, mental and emotional relaxation. The term yoga nidra is derived from two Sanskrit words, Yoga meaning union or one-pointed awareness, and nidra, which means sleep. During the practice of yoga nidra, one appears to be asleep, but the consciousness is functionning at a deeper level of awareness. for this reason, yoga nidra is often referred to as deep relaxation with inner awareness. In this threshold state between sleep and wakefulness, contact with the subconscious and unconscious dimensions occurs spontaneaously. In Yoga nidra, the state of relaxation is reached by turning inwards, away from outer experiences. If the cousciousness can be separated from external awareness and from sleep, it becomes very powerfull and can be applied in many ways, for example, to explore repressed memories, transform traumatic experiences, break bad habits, treat anxiety and stress, and overall achieve inner transformation.
