An adapted and personalised yoga practice is essential to understand and progress in Yoga. 

 Regular one-to-one meetings in order to be assigned a personalised practice that takes into account time, your abilities and your current state of mind are important if yoga is to shed its light on you. 


The combined application of yoga tools offers a new way of looking at oneself. 

Yoga is above all an inner experience.  


Méditation

Traditional yoga meditation: with mantra, nyāsa (hand placement), bhāvana (visualisation), offering (arcanam), ritual. 


The course includes several group meditations on themes such as gratitude, renewal, light. 


Practitioners will receive rituals and meditations as they would in India.


The recitation of mantras and vedas transforms and raises our inner vibration. 

These texts are thousands of years old and their recitation has not changed through time.


The yogic placement of the breath requires experience and skill. 

It takes time in order to lengthen it without forcing it and to know WHEN and HOW to place its different components. 

These different prāṇāyāma will be taught: 

śitalī

sitkāri

anuloma-ujjayin

viloma-ujjayin

nāḍi-śodhana

candra-bhedana

sūrya-bhedana

plavinī

murccha

bahya-kumbhaka 

antah-kumbhaka 

anuloma-krama

viloma-krama 


A theoretical introduction to the practice of mudrā and bandha will be offered at the end of the course. 


The mudrā and bandha are essential tools of Haṭha-Yoga, but already require a commitment to the practice of Yoga and breathing in order to offer their effects.


Such as dhāraṇā, dhyāna, the nyāsa, bhāvana, svādhyāya, adhyayanam, the yama and niyama, etc.

It is only by applying the full range of these tools that Yoga unfolds its potential.
