โSkull shiningโ: quick strong exhales with passive inhales โ energising.
Breathing techniquesCalm yin yoga with Ayurveda and qigong or dynamic hatha, ashtanga and vinyasa: meet two yoga teachers at Landhotel Altes Zollhaus.
Besides yoga teacher Roman youโll meet Naima and Katharina at the Zollhaus โ each with her own focus.
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: โIโve 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 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.
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.
In the morning sessions Katharina likes to start with pranayama. Note: yoga times may change.
