See below for a description of a standard 5-point yoga class. Please note that the headstand is not taught.

The Gentle Yoga class is a slow-paced yoga that allows you to pose gently in comfortable postures adapted to your individual needs. Gentle yoga is an excellent stress reliever. It's ideal for people who haven't done any physical activity for a long time, who have joint or muscle problems, or simply for those who are already into yoga and want to take it slow, alongside their regular classes. The benefits are the same as for a typical yoga class.

A dynamic, invigorating physical practice that respects your own limits, where you're in the moment without comparing yourself to other practitioners. Energy is stimulated, joints become flexible, muscles develop, the body becomes strong, firm and healthy. Health improves. A practice of breathing, which is the thread that links the physical to the mental. It develops, deepens and is present throughout the session. Energy flows better, everywhere. Vitality increases. In addition, conscious, deep, regular breathing gives the mind calm and openness, with less excessive, conflicting thoughts. Emotions benefit from this state because they are channelled. The development of concentration, which is experienced internally thanks to the observer-consciousness. Concentration enables us to live in the present moment, without dispersing thoughts and energy. The experience of relaxation, which allows the body to rest and enjoy all the benefits of the practice. Sometimes, a short mindfulness meditation.
