Yoga II: Intermediate
This course is the continuation of Yoga I where we continued working on our practice while taking it further. We were 5 students and received plenty of attention from our teacher Apsara and her assistant. We focused on breathing exercises, salutations, the head stand, the shoulder stand and other poses. Mediation and relaxation were always included. It felt like the right way to learn yoga. -
Hatha Yoga Foundations: Yoga 1 Beginner's Course
What a great yoga center! I really enjoyed going there twice a week for 4 weeks and being led by the experienced and warm teacher Aspara. Most students didn’t have much yoga experience and each class explored one of the 5 foundations of yoga (breathing, meditation, diet, positive thinking and poses). We went through the twelve poses in a slow and controlled pace. No pressure here, you do what you can! Price is very reasonable since the center is supported by volunteers. I’m looking at taking another class. -
