Descrição
“Yoga level III is ideal for people who want a challenge during the postures, going deeper into their practice, but also relaxation. Its about getting out of your comfort zone and feeling great after. It’s not recommended for people with serious back or joints issues or heart problems.”

The core of my yoga lessons comes from Hatha Yoga (which is the mother of all modern styles of yoga). Yoga practice has many elements, both behavioral and of practice. In the Western culture, yoga is typically understood as asanas (physical postures) but It extends well beyond being a sophisticated physical exercise system and integrates ideas of ethics, diet, cleansing, pranayama (breathing exercises), meditation and a system for spiritual development of the yogi.

My classes will provide step by step methodology on how to enter yoga postures and get the best of it. Together with the postures, you will learn how to connect the ideal pranayama to get best results from you effort.

Proper breathing, and the use of breathing techniques during a posture is a mainstay of Hatha yoga, it is the practice of consciously regulating breath (inhalation, exhalation, and retention).  

For a beginner, these asanas are uncomfortable, typically difficult, cause the body to shake, and are typically unbearable to hold for extended periods of time.  However, with repetition and persistence, as the muscle tone improves, the effort reduces, and posture improves.

According to the Hatha yoga texts, each posture becomes perfect when the "effort disappears", one no longer thinks about the posture and one's body position, breathes normally per pranayama, and can dwell in one's meditation.

Meditation is the goal of all the preparatory cleansing, asanas, pranayama, and other steps, and we will be going for that also as you develop into your practice. For the first steps - into meditation - I’ll be guiding you to how to use techniques that will help you to be able to observe yourself without identification to what you see, this will learn you how to be immune to to the situations that triggers stress and other toxic responses.

During the progression of the lessons I hope to introduce you progressively more techniques of this beautiful method of living as whole.
