Style: Sivananda Yoga
Sivananda Yoga is the style of hatha yoga within the lineage of Sivananda Saraswati. It is for the student seeking inner tranquility and centeredness. In a Sivananda class, after warming up the joints, we do the sun salutation, a cardio-vascular exercise, to warm up the whole body and awaken vital energy. This is followed by 12 core postures and their variations to channel and concentrate that vital energy. Between each posture, the student relaxes for a short time which allows for the vital energy to be reabsorbed. After the postural sequence, we practice yogic breathing exercises to tune ourselves inward. This is followed by a long guided relaxation and brief seated meditation. This sequence brings about the overall sense of harmony and well-being one feels after class. Regardless of whether a student comes into class tired or stressed, the balanced nature of the Sivananda sequence renders that student calm and lucid. Go to the Sivananda yoga page.
Teacher: Alina Biberi
Alina's yoga journey started in 2009 with self-practice and introspection. In 2014, she completed her teacher training in the Austrian alps and was certified as a Sivananda yoga instructor. In 2015, Frederic and Denise were her first yoga teachers in Luxembourg. Having had the opportunity to travel to India on multiple occasions, she continued her training in classical hatha yoga, meditation, pranayama and also yin yoga. Under close guidance of experienced yoga teachers in Mysore and Rishikesh, she continued to deepen her own practice. As a yoga teacher, she believes in the transformative power of yoga and its ability to create harmony within the body and mind. She believes that yoga is a holistic practice that extends beyond the mat. It is a journey of self-discovery, self-acceptance, and self-transformation.
