Anyone can practice yoga and meditation, regardless of fitness or age, and we all get a lot out of it. You get to know your body and mind and simply feel better, healthier and less stressed. Weather permitting, classes are outdoors in nature.
We use a wide variety of yoga styles. We look at what you need and adapt the yoga accordingly. The teachers are trained in Hatha, Vinyasa, Ashtanga, Sivananda, Iyengar and Yin yoga, in traditional yoga philosophy and modern yoga anatomy.
You learn to meditate yourself with the most fundamental meditation techniques, including mindfulness, Buddhist meditations like Zen and Vipassana, standing and walking meditations and breathing and relaxation exercises from the yoga tradition. No 'floaty' meditations but awareness that will be of great use in your real daily life. Anyone can learn to meditate: it is not always easy, but certainly not complicated either!

- Transport from and to airport
