Asana & Pranayama Class during Carnival Holidays
starts Thursday 15 february 2024 at 18:30
This 90-minute class will start with a simple sun salutation and asanas chosen to lubricate the joints, facilitate the flow of prana, and enable the body to remain seated with ease and stability for a longer pranayama practice than is done in most classes. We will progress through different breathing techniques (ujjayi, kapalabhati, nadi shodhana, sitali/sitkari) and end with a short meditation and relaxation.
The combined practice of asana and pranayama will have a direct impact on our nervous system, reducing anxiety and improving sleep. It will calm the mind and allow us to tap into a state of deep relaxation and peace, having a profound effect on our body and mind.
Style: Hatha Yoga
Hatha Yoga involves physical postures (asanas), breathing techniques (pranayama), energy locks (bandhas), energy seals (mudras) and other practices to strengthen the physical body and to purify and balance one's energy to increase vitality, equanimity and joy of life. Go to the Hatha yoga page.
Teacher: Nathalie Colavitti Blay
Nathalie became interested in yoga through a documentary of a young girl who explained with lucidity and breathtaking calm how yoga helped her recover from a severe childhood trauma. That spark brought Nathalie to Iyengar yoga classes in 2006 before moving on to vinyasa and thereafter Ashtanga vinyasa whose energizing and soothing practices fascinated her. She also included into her personal practice the shat kriyas - purification techniques that are highly effective for digestive problems, stress and insomnia.
In 2016, she graduated La Source’s 300-hour teacher training program. At the request of her colleagues, she gives yoga classes at work. At the same time, she continues her own practice and has attended workshops by senior Ashtanga teachers like Mark Darby, Danny Paradise, Gregor Maehle, Laruga Glaser, Kathy Cooper and Doug Keller.
She wishes to share the knowledge acquired and to continue to explore that vast world called yoga.
