Yoga tradition deals with my person Contact / Links Literature YOGA Even though yoga is several thousand years old, it has not lost any of its value. It has been repeatedly adapted by famous teachers like Sri T. Krishnamacharya to the respective time and society, but without losing the richness of its contents. Yoga is a practice that embraces the human being as a whole and therefore can be practiced by any person regardless of age, place, profession, mobility, etc. It can be described at any level, and yet understanding comes only through one's own experience .

Asana By asana we mean body movements and postures. These are each connected with your own breathing rhythm. This creates a more intense body awareness. Asana are not characterized by their outer form, but by the qualities of stability and lightness at the same time. On the one hand they lead to more flexibility and strengthening of the body and on the other hand they release tensions and strengthen the immune system.

Pranayama Pranayama works with the breath. It is about training, lengthening, consciously guiding and experiencing the breath. Good breathing is important for health. Breathing is the carrier of life energy and therefore of central importance. Who does not want to be, become or stay healthy? The balance of body and mind comes from slow and steady breathing, as body and mind depend on the breath. Pranayama is the preparation for the mental exercises, just as the physical exercises are the preparation for the breathing exercises. Pranayama means being in constant contact with the breath.
