Viniyoga class - Brahmana practice
Wednesday 21 may 10:45 - 12:45
Nadine Maes is giving four 75-minute Viniyoga classes over four consecutive Saturdays (May 24 - June 14) to introduce students to this practice that comes through the lineage of Krishnamacharya. All four classes include either dynamic or calming postures with an emphasis on a particular theme.
The first Saturday on May 24th, 10:45-12:00, Nadine will teach Brahmana Practice which places an emphasis on energizing oneself with backbends, twists, and the lengthening of the inhalation. Brahmana includes vinyasa, a sequence of movements sustained by the breath. To bring balance, it concludes with calming postures followed by Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing) with an emphasis on Kumbhaka (retention of the breath).
One is welcome to participate in any or all of the classes, either using credits from canceled classes or paying 15 Euros per class. Please register via the GoogleDocs form. GoogleDocs will display a confirmation message. You will not receive a separate email from us confirming your reservation but will receive a reminder 24 hours before the class.

The other Saturdays are as follows:
March 31st, 10:45-12:00 Langhana Practice
June 7th, 10:45-12:00 Pranayama Practice
June 14th, 10:45-12:00 Meditation on the Breath Practice
Style: Viniyoga
What characterises Viniyoga is the connection between the breath and the movement. This synchronization enables the practitioner to cultivate a long and deep breathing rhythm which has a calming effect on the mind and leads to peace and serenity in daily life. With the help of different techniques, the attention is continually directed to this connection, while keeping the sequence of movements easy. As a consequence, everyone can practice Viniyoga independent of age, physical condition, or the time dedicated to the practice. Go to the Viniyoga page.
