YOGA

Yoga, an art of living born of ancestral Eastern tradition. It is recognized as a science in the West, and a number of studies have demonstrated its health benefits. Yoga comes from the root "yuj", which in Sanskrit means to harness, to bind. Yoga brings together body, breath and mind. It is a step-by-step approach to self-knowledge. It is a precious resource for feeling more centered, more efficient and less tired in everyday life.

Yoga offers many means, such as the practice of postures (āsana), breathing (prānāyāma), concentrations (dhāranā), meditations (dhyāna) and so on. It strengthens the body's fluidity and tone while taking care, by adapting its exercise, of each individual's physical constraints, sensitivities, pains, etc.

Yoga enables you to approach everyday life with a little more calm and distance, and to rediscover a happy balance!

On a mental level, its practice, which links posture and breathing, offers a space for oneself, a time for listening to develop discernment and concentration, while reinforcing self-confidence and self-understanding.

It also helps those on a quest to open up to their own spirituality as it is.

The benefits of yoga are different for each of us...

"The practice of yoga encompasses body, mind and soul. It always bears fruit and gives those who practice it what they seek. " Sri T. Krishnamacharya

The elders of India speak of "sat-cit-ananda", i.e. "being, awareness and joy", or how to find a state of pure joy, like living water in a mountain stream that gives you well-being in the present!

By guiding you through the practice with simplicity, Carine wishes to accompany you in exploring this knowledge of yourself, this connection with what surrounds you, towards this happiness of being in the present moment!

There is no single truth: only practice will bring you happiness. And if every day is different, each one can be an opportunity to demonstrate kindness, patience, happiness and joy!
