Embodied Yoga with Anna

Service Description

In each class, we will explore the various layers of our being (the 5 koshas) through meditation, mantra, pranayama (breathing techniques), asana practice (yoga poses) and relaxation (savasana). In each class, we practise creating balance between the solar and lunar energies within our being, solar energy being the more activating one and the lunar energy being the more nourishing and calming one. Through yogic practices, you are invited to listen and feel into your body so that you can create more harmony, balance and resilience from within and tap into your inherent wisdom.
