Every Wednesday : Yoga and Relaxation for children  

I offer to children (4 to 10 years old) diversified and fun yoga sessions, with music background, in order to make them aware of relaxation, postures and breathing.

The classes will soften and strengthen the body, develop balance, improve the ability to concentrate ... My goal is also to contribute to the development of the child, in harmony with oneself and others, thus leaving in their body memory a feeling of free, fluid and cheerful motor skills.

Health is present in all of us, but many environmental factors prevent its positive expression. So I invite you to join us to offer yourself the best to nurture your  health, to let it emerge consciously, so that it can express itself and offer us its lightness and well-being in everyday life.

This course will start with a general stimulation of the body and an awareness of our inner world, with exercises, opening of the body joints.  Through yogic breathing and stretchings, we favor the softening of the tendons and enhance a better fluidity of the Ki in the meridians. Yoga postures, dynamic and static and their proper positions to restore strength and flexibility in the body and revitalize the center. We end in deep relaxation with a calm breathing focus and the healing-position Sarvasana, realizing the benefits that the exercises will have brought within our body.

​

Hatha  Yoga 

Yoga Haṭha Flow is a modern and relatively dynamic form of Hatha Yoga. It is an energizing practice, where we will work on postures, asana, both statically and in more or less dynamic sequences or sequences, at the rythme of the  breathe. It is a fluid and graceful practice that strengthens the body and circulates energy. Hatha Flow yoga is both gentle and invigorating, as relaxing as it is strengthening, respectful of the body and level of each individual.

Health is present in all of us, but many environmental factors prevent its positive expression. So I invite you to join us to offer yourself the best to nurture your  health, to let it emerge consciously, so that it can express itself and offer us its lightness and well-being in everyday life.  This course will start with a general stimulation of the body and an awareness of our inner world, with exercises, vibration, opening of the body joints, stimulation of the energetic meridians and their direction of circulation, yogic breathing.  
The second part we continue with:  stretching, favoring softening of the tendons and a better fluidity of the Ki in the meridians, yoga postures, dynamic and static and their proper positions to restore strength and flexibility in the body and revitalize the center.    And finally we will end in deep relaxation with calm breathing focus, the healing-position Sarvasana, realizing the benefits that the exercises will have brought within our body.

Weekly Classes

Vinyasa Yoga : Every Thursday with Karine Chami 

Vinyasa is a Sanskrit term which means synchronization of movement with the breath. It is made up of two roots: "nyasa" which means "to place" and "vi" which means "in a specific way". We therefore define Vinyasa yoga as a sequence of dynamic movements, initiated and harmonized by breathing.

Vinyasa yoga comes from Ashtanga yoga, which consists of performing a series of postures in a specific order. Unlike Ashtanga, Vinyasa yoga is more free and creative: it does not impose any series of measures. The sequences are the fruit of the experience acquired by the teacher and are adaptable to the needs of each individual.

Nature walk, energetic stretchings and Tree Hugging

SRI AUROBINDO MEDITATION

" Dare to sense the Cellular Consciousness "

Meditation with Bart Dierick in the tradition of the intégral yoga: a silent meditation

after having read a text of Sri Aurobindo, The Mother. Content of the text : how to  strengthen your consciousness, how to interiorize your perception, how to find access to your inner world, your inner source.

We open ourselves to receive a wider consciousness, with a descend to the cellular level of the physical body. The first step is a complete sincerity and the practice of " how to install Mental Peace ".

Practice to improve health according to the foundations of Qi Gong

Sorry, this course, only in French..
Le Qi Gong est une discipline traditionnelle chinoise vieille de plus de cinq mille ans. "La nature est constamment en mouvement, l'homme doit se fortifier sans cesse"  (extrait du Yi-King)

Le Qi signifie l'énergie, le souffle, et Gong signifie le travail, l'accomplissement. Littéralement, Qi Gong signifie donc "Maîtrise de l'Energie", ou "travail du Souffle".

En Chine, ces exercices de santé sont pratiqués depuis des millénaires dans le but d'équilibrer et de mobiliser les énergies vitales. Dans le Qi Gong, le mouvement est l'aspect visible. L'objectif de cette discipline va cependant bien au-delà du mouvement puisqu'il s'agit, entre-autres, de développer un bien-être intérieur profond et de sentir son corps respirer et vivre. 

Car pour se développer et se maintenir, le corps a besoin de mouvement. Parfois, en raison de l’avancée en âge ou du retrait de la vie active, le corps se dévitalise par manque de mouvement.  Pratiquer des exercices de santé prend alors toute son importance.   Il s'agit ici d'une pratique lente et douce, issue du Qi Gong, que chacun peut exercer selon ses possibilités. Les mouvements qui seront proposés ne nécessitent pas ou peu d'effort physique.

Je souhaite partager avec vous cette belle pratique fine et subtile, dans un climat de bienveillance, de joie et d'écoute de soi.
