Do-In Yoga - Japanese exercises for Strength, Relaxation & Insight

Do-In Yoga is for everyone! It's an accessible way of doing yoga: women, men & kids love it.
Do-in Yoga has its origin in Japan; we combine 'makko ho' stretches with Qi Gong (breathing) exercises, tapping the meridians (energy pathways in the body) and short meditation.

You'll learn how to take care of your body and also what stretches have a certain effect on different functions in the body.

About Me

- Besides teaching Yoga I make jewelry and accessories (eye pillows, etc) and sell these items through Etsy. However I love expanding my yoga teaching hours! This feels like sharing what I love doing most.

- During my classes I emphasize the importance of the 'Yin' aspect of moving: seeking stillness within.

- I motivate every yoga practitioner to listen to their inner teacher to be guided towards a pose that is suitable for him/her.

We had a very calm and relaxing yoga class with Merel. She is extremly nice and thoughtful. fully recommend!
Combination of Dance fitness & yoga During the class we first warm up with simple dance movements that are easy to follow. Then we raise the heart rate a little more with more active dance moves. There is no need to follow everything seamlessly; it's about moving and loosening the body. As long as the blood can flow freely: it's all about the fun! After the dance part of the class, we grab the yoga mat to start the yoga stretches and flow movements. Here too, it is not about what the postures look like, but rather about what you feel in your body! Every person is wired differently. In addition, one day we can easily get into a stretch and another day it feels less flexible. Breathing is central during this lesson, both in the dance moves and in the yoga part.

HATHA YOGA/ASHTANGA YOGA/YOGA NIDRA/Meditations. Improve your physical and mental health with the best coach in Ukraine!
Hey, I'm manager of yoga instructor Diana. She's from Ukraine, so I'll help with translations and communication. Hatha yoga - Yoga helps us to strengthen the body from the outside and inside. It helps us to improve our inner state and find balance. It is an opportunity to organize thoughts and focus on the here and now. In addition, yoga strengthens the body and improves mood. It has a positive effect on the flexibility and balance of our body. What are the benefits of this practice? First of all, it helps to strengthen the human body, build endurance and willpower. This yoga helps to relax and improves the ability to cope with stress. It has a positive effect on blood sugar and cholesterol levels. Due to the diversity of this practice, it improves muscle flexibility. Also, this practice fills the body with energy, boosts immunity and improves your posture. This practice is suitable for both women and men of all ages. The practice is a bit more complicated than hatha yoga, but it is also suitable for beginners. It is possible to move further in terms of complexity, using more dynamics and increasing the complexity of asanas. Further complication is focused on the use of asanas with deflections and inverted positions. Also, you can smoothly move into Ashtanga yoga or dynamic yoga. Diana has three years of experience teaching modern dance and yoga individually. She has more than 5 years of teaching experience in groups and dozens of satisfied students. Therefore, she will definitely provide everyone with an individual approach, find the right pace and the necessary asanas. If you have more questions, don't hesitate to text me <3 Let's change our lives today, not every Monday, right?)

Breath based hatha yoga private online classes in English or Japanese
The father of modern yoga Patanjali mentioned consistency in his biography: Practice should be continuous for a long time with devotion for its firm establishment. You have to practice for a long period of time. Your practice must not be interrupted. You must do it regularly. You must do your practice with love and respect. -Yoga Sutras of Patanjali: 1.14 - Consistency is key to achieving your goals, and cultivating peace within yourself is the first step towards a fulfilling life. Let me guide you on your journey towards inner harmony. -About my class- My yoga class is breath-based hatha yoga. In the class, we use a specific breath technique to heat the body up. It is authentic, yet fun, hatha yoga. We start the basic hatha yoga practice at the beginning and then we will add some breath techniques once your body gets used to it. The goal of yoga is to bring harmony between your body, mind and soul. It helps you to maintain your healthy mind and body. The time of yoga and meditation gives you a chance to observe yourself and to get to know yourself deeply. It is not a competition and is a time just for yourself. My class is private and I can guide you to maintain your body and mind depending on your body condition with a personalised plan such as weekly yoga to establish a healthy routine and tips for your yoga poses. -The contents of my class- Introduction Silent sitting and establish the breath Warm up Sun salutation Practise basic postures Final relaxation (Shavasana)

Gaurav
Yoga & Meditation with an International Certified Teacher!
Yoga is a way of life! All you have to do is set aside some time and leave the rest to me. The process will make you feel better. You will enjoy this journey:) Yoga is much more than what we see on social media ;) Yoga was first referenced in the ancient sacred Rig Ved literature. Yoga = Yuj/Yoke/unite-union-joining (with the divine wisdom of the universe). Yoga, according to yoga sutra philosophy, is concentration. It is a holistic science based on yoga philosophy. It encompasses the whole person: body, mind, intellect, and consciousness. We will concentrate on your personalized approach!! Especially for you! You will have my whole attention. Bring back the ability to breathe, relax, and regenerate while performing some amazing asanas, kriya, mudra, and pranayama. There are many more. After the practice, you will feel revitalized. Consider it. These sensations are positive and will carry over into your daily lives. Take a deep breath and don't think too hard. Schedule a session and enjoy the ride! I teach overseas, in addition to business organizations and individual customers. Aside from Hatha, Ashtanga, Vinyasa, Himalayan, and Iyengar yoga, I understand you and work accordingly. So, let's see you on the mat. NAMASTE

Subsequently, you will make space for new things to unfold in your body and Life! Don’t watch the process happen on other people but start today. I will guide you with body, mind and spirit into this practice with a lot of asanas. Some women will discover they can leave the medical pill box aside for relieving period cramps for example. Many claim to have found a solution for their anxiety, insomnia or depression. A mindful practice comes from your own input. As a 200 Hour yoga Teacher and 50 hour FlyHighYoga teacher I will be your guide and coach to embark on your journey with a variety of purposes - be it weight loss, toning, relieving stress, controlling emotions, going through a difficult phase in life, curing pain and symptoms, staying in shape, improving flexibility or practicing to become a professional.We will do different asanas in conjunction with the phases of the moon. Additionally, I work with breathing - the power of breathing is an add-on to your yoga practice. With the control of your breath you can actually turn off the mind when it’s spinning - this will give you clarity. Nonetheless, it’s a very powerful way to cleanse your airways and lungs. The lungs fight pathogens on a daily basis - but have you ever wondered when you actually cleanse them ? I am an experienced and certified teacher with over 150 hours in teaching in studios and University facilities. I can teach one on one classes but also groups up to 50 people.
