WHAT ACTUALLY IS YOGA?
To break it down completely:
Yoga is the physical practice of different positions (asanas) in connection with the breath (prana).
It is a form of meditation that helps to work body and mind.
The word yoga means unity and the yoga practice aims to create more unity - in our bodies, between body and mind and us and our surrounding.
Yoga helps to keep the body fit, strengthen and stretch muscles where necessary, relieve pain (the classic: back pain), teaches how to deal with stress and create more awareness.
MY YOGA STYLE
Pantara Yoga is strongly influenced by Anusara Yoga and the Pantarei Approach.
Anusara means ‘going with the flow’ and ‘following your heart’.
I teach Anusara and Pantarei Approach-based yoga, which focuses on correct alignment in a fluid sequence, using the five elements of space, earth, water, fire and air as a guide for yoga practice. My teaching is also strongly influenced by somatic bodywork. This gives each class its own unique focus, both on a physical and on a thematic and emotional level.
The result is a holistic approach that is suitable for all needs.
