HATHA FOR WOMEN

The foundations of a yogic practice


 

Imagine waking up by the ocean in Tenerife. Feel the morning breeze caress your face during morning practice.

Discover the benefits of a daily yogic practice by adapting Hatha yoga to your needs and your cycle.

Yogic sequences gradually lead us to explore a higher level of consciousness by opening our body on the physical, mental and spiritual levels to find serenity and better connection to ourselves.

After a delicious vegetarian brunch, you will have free time the rest of the day to stroll through the majestic Anaga National Park, surf below the house or relax by the natural swimming pool.

We take advantage of the sunset to immerse ourselves in the silence and tranquility of Yin yoga after sharing dinner.

This yogic journey intended for all levels leads you to build a daily practice by learning to sequence your sessions to nourish your body and mind. We explore essential topics such as nasal cleaning, breathing, postures, relaxation and positive thinking/meditation in yin/yang practices as well as how to adapt it to your menstrual cycles.

Asanas and yogic postures help us to embody matter by strengthening the body, stimulating the internal organs and developing body awareness.

Workshop Jala Neti, This practice comes to us from the ancient yogis of India to rinse and clean the nasal cavities. An essential technique before starting your day with breathing on many points.

Salt water removes impurities and microbes that settle in the mucus. It therefore accelerates the healing of angina, conjunctivitis, colds, sinusitis, sore throats and all disorders related to the ENT sphere. Regardless of these specific disorders, nasal mucosal secretions can be a symptom of toxin overload. These are generally evacuated by the liver, the intestines, the kidneys and the lungs. Sometimes, however, under the effect of fatigue, stress, or psychological disorders, for example, the process is slowed down: the body then uses other routes of elimination, including, precisely, nasal secretions.

We will discover how energies work in our body and how we use them in our practice. Then we will explain the Syryanamaskara. This sequence of posture that we practice before performing the asanas brings us a complete warm-up of the body.
