One hour of yoga can change the way you see the day. Give it a try.
Yoga is an ancient practice that unites body, mind and breathing — helping to reduce stress, relieve physical tension and find inner clarity.

The first class is free — no commitment. Come and try it.

1. What exactly is Yoga and how does a class work?
A: Yoga is an ancient practice that combines physical positions (asanas), breathing techniques (pranayama) and meditation — working the body and mind simultaneously. In a class, the teacher guides the group through a sequence of positions adapted to each participant's level, with a focus on breathing and body awareness.
2. Is prior experience required to start?
A: No. Classes are open to all levels — from complete beginners to experienced practitioners. Teaching is progressive and adapted to each student's pace. The most important thing is the desire to begin.
3. Do I need to bring a mat or specific equipment?
A: It is recommended to bring your own yoga mat. For clothing, opt for something comfortable that allows freedom of movement — leggings or tracksuit bottoms and a t-shirt are ideal. Classes are practised barefoot.

A: Groups are small — in a family-friendly and welcoming environment that allows for close and personalised support from the teacher.
