Harmonization, relaxation of body and mind, development of self-awareness, and self-knowledge can be on your to-do list. Through Yoga, with the help of physical, breathing and mental practices, we can reach the balance of our being on multiple levels and increase our well-being.

The benefits of yoga classes on the body are innumerable:

There are practices of the physical body, various yoga postures (asanas) in which we bring the body consciously, through movements coordinated with breathing. They de-stress the body, reducing the effects of a sedentary lifestyle.

Through the practice of breathing (pranayama), we learn to connect with the breath by observing it, thus inducing a calming effect on the mind. Breathing exercises increase oxygenation of the brain, reducing the unpleasant side effects of fatigue. Also, by regulating the breath, we positively influence the general condition of the body and the mind.

Relaxation exercises (yoga nidra) educate us to keep ourselves in the present and to have an immediate relaxing effect on the mind. Relaxation and meditation free our minds from excess information, increasing the ability to maintain our focus and attention.

Stress is the result of how we relate to the environment. Through the practice of Yoga, we develop the ability to self-observe. Understanding our own needs and emotional adjustment helps us change the perspective of reporting to the environment and interpersonal relationships.

A standard yoga class includes physical exercises, breathing exercises and relaxation exercises. A yoga instructor can help you reconnect with your body, mind and emotions. Try an online yoga session!
