Two paths to the mat
Naima and Katharina
Besides yoga teacher Roman you’ll meet Naima and Katharina at the Zollhaus – each with her own focus.
Naima: yin yoga with Eastern health traditions
Naima is French-born and fluent in German. A trained yin yoga teacher, she has explored Ayurveda, Reiki and qigong – influences you feel in her classes.
Naima says: “I’ve practised yoga passionately for 10 years. In connection with Traditional Chinese Medicine my practice focuses on mindfulness, gentle movement and conscious breathing to arrive in the here and now.”
Katharina: hatha, ashtanga and vinyasa
Katharina teaches a more dynamic style, trained in hatha and ashtanga. Hatha is among the most traditional forms: asanas and pranayama harmonise body and mind.
She likes linking poses in vinyasa flow – the sun salutation is a classic. Your body warms up, your mind focuses on breath and movement.
What is yin yoga?
Yin yoga: gently into depth
In yin yoga you hold poses for several minutes to gently stretch deep connective tissue – the fascia. Instead of force you sink in and breathe consciously, releasing tension and improving mobility.
Ideal if you sit or stand a lot, have back tension or simply want calm. Bolsters, blocks and blankets support you. More about Naima: nayurveda.net. Similarly gentle: therapeutic yoga.
Yin yoga is ideal for …
- lots of sitting or standing
- back tension
- restlessness
- a wish for depth
