• How do we work in Yoga Biodynamics?

In Yoga Biodynamics we refine our awareness of the body in motion and stillness. We listen and pay attention to the quality of movement and focus on the body connections within, not the perfection of an outer form of the pose. The journey is a self-inquiry of qualities, such as fluidity, connectedness, breath and spaciousness within the present moment. Wait, watch & wonder!

• What is Ayurveda and what we will do?

Ayurveda is an ancient knowledge of longevity, considering everyone as an individual with different needs. Together we will learn and understand the principles of an Ayurvedic nutritious diet, to feel healthier and lighter! Gift yourself the experience of receiving and giving loving and nourishing herbal treatments to get radiant and glowing skin.
