Two paths to the mat

Naima and Katharina

Besides yoga teacher Roman youโ€™ll meet Naima and Katharina at the Zollhaus โ€“ 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 โ€“ influences you feel in her classes.

Naima says: โ€œIโ€™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.โ€

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 โ€“ 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 โ€“ 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 โ€ฆ

  • lots of sitting or standing
  • back tension
  • restlessness
  • a wish for depth
