Yoga

Meditation and yoga are an integral part of Ayurveda.

Yoga is about life in all its aspects and is a way of life. It brings health, freedom, love and respect for life.

To understand yoga through your own experience is to find your own way. It means opening up to yourself, to others and to Life.

An âsana is a yoga posture. To practise an âsana is to highlight the blockages in the body and mind (and to draw a parallel with our daily lives and their inconveniences). And also admitting that everything is linked.

Yoga contributes to self-control through awareness.

Yoga is accessible to all, and suitable for all ages. Practising yoga should not cause pain or suffering, so it’s important to remain attentive and concentrated.

Regular practice promotes blood and lymph circulation, soothes the nervous system, regulates systems and boosts energy.

Yoga guides us to our innermost being.

Pranayama

Pranayama is the vital energy contained in the breath. It is also a discipline: the practice of deep breathing that accompanies the asanas. Pranayama is the key to yoga. Breathing is essential to life, but breathing better is essential to living better.

Everything in life is energy, and this constantly leads to physical or psychological stress (noise, agitation, climate, relationships, etc.). Practising pranayama helps you to limit your reactions, control your emotions and maintain a calm mind.

Patience, vigilance and perseverance are the watchwords of yoga

Master

The master delivers the knowledge he has learnt, without imposing himself or imposing. In Indian culture, the master is called Guru; the one who delivers the spiritual values and wisdom that he embodies. In Sanskrit, ‘gu’ means invisible presence and ‘ru’ means presence made visible. Quite simply.

To embark on this path is to choose with care and discernment the person who will accompany us on the path of yoga. Without forgetting that he is showing you the way, but that you are the one who is walking it. And with knowledge, you become your own master.

Concentration and meditation

Thoughts fly in all directions and create mental agitation. By concentrating on one ‘idea’ at a time, ignoring the disruptive flow of all your thoughts, you give yourself the power to bring it to fruition.

Meditating is nothing more than coming face to face with yourself in the present moment and feeling your inner peace and calm.
