Hatha Yoga

​

Asana

The central aspect of this form of yoga is the physical aspect: all yoga postures or asanas have a certain effect on the body.

The yoga poses consist of standing and sitting postures, forward and backward bends, twists, inverted postures, balancing postures and neutral poses.

Bandhas in yoga

The locks of the body that keep the energy inside and support the asanas: mula bandha is located in the pelvic floor, Uddiyana bandha in the lower abdomen and Jaladhara bandha at the back of the throat.

Pranayama and meditation

In Sanskrit, prana means 'life energy'. Pranayama is the distribution of that life energy through breathing.

Consciously controlled breathing exercises can influence the state of the mind, according to the Hatha tradition. Meditation is a way for people to explore within themselves. We mainly use it to find inner peace, but the ultimate goal of Patanjali was to achieve a state of consciousness and bliss.

Yin Yoga

​

Yin yoga is a passive yoga style in which you hold postures (asanas) for a longer period of time. These yoga exercises target the deep connective tissues of the body.

Yin yoga specifically works to penetrate deep into the connective tissue in your body, releasing physical and energetic blockages.

This involves paying attention to your thoughts, breathing and physical sensations.

Yin yoga is therefore very meditative in nature and is taught in a quiet way.

Yin yoga poses are generally held for between 1-5 minutes.

Steve got into yoga while recovering from back surgery in 2012.

Due to a very active lifestyle (duathlon, running, cycling), he immediately felt good in the gentler yoga styles, especially in Yin yoga.

The philosophy of yoga also began to appeal to him more and more, so he started following in-depth teacher training with Sabine Libbrecht (the Yoga Studio).

After a Yin Aerial training with Boban Krstic and a very in-depth 200hr Hatha/Ashtanga training in Rishikesh-India with a lot of pranayama and meditation, he started teaching at De Yogastudio in Brasschaat in 2018.

In his Yin classes he gives you the necessary time to learn to feel your body and to turn inward.

You will experience the lessons as calm and relaxing, but you will still have done the necessary work in your connective tissue and organs.

Yoga of Awareness

​

Keeping moving is extremely important for the body, especially as we get older this becomes increasingly important to keep the body strong and mobile. Yoga has a preventive effect on the aging process. It ensures that the body remains flexible and strong.

DO YOU HAVE MOVEMENT RESTRICTIONS AND WOULD YOU LIKE TO GENTLY GET YOUR BODY MOVE AGAIN?

​

There are plenty of people who would like to do yoga, but find it a big hurdle to join a regular yoga class among slightly younger participants.

That is why I have put Yoga of Awareness on the schedule for this specific target group.

This lesson is suitable for everyone . In addition, it is just nice to take a wonderful yoga class every week with people with more or less the same limitations.

The lessons take into account the possibilities of the individual participants. Postures are performed standing, sitting and lying down. If this is not possible, there are bolsters and cushions available on which the exercises can be performed.

WE PAY ATTENTION TO:

• Strengthening poses

• Mobility exercises

• Breathing exercises

• Relaxation exercises
