Hatha Yoga and Yin Yoga with Caroline

HATHA YOGA:

A thousand-year-old teaching originating in India, Hatha means the union of the moon HA and the sun THA.
It is the union of opposites, of body and mind, of our masculine and feminine polarities, a return to unity.
Hatha Yoga is a traditional form of yoga in which the emphasis is on the prolonged holding of postures rather than their sequence.
It consists of different forms of postures (Asana) requiring controlled movement, conscious breathing (Pranayama) and concentration (Dharana).
It's a true moment for oneself, where the individual, quietly installed in the posture, becomes an observer of both body and mind.

Physical benefits: Develop the flexibility of your spine and joints, strengthen and tone your muscles, develop your immune system, relax the nervous system, increase your stamina.

Mental benefits: clear your mind, focus your attention, sharpen your concentration, free your soul.
Session duration 1h15

YIN YOGA :

Yin Yoga is a recent discipline (1990) which draws its foundations from Taoist philosophy and traditional Chinese medicine, coupled with yogic knowledge.
It's a yoga that responds to the need to slow down.
The aim is to relax the muscles and work on the deeper structure of the body, i.e. the connective tissues (facias, tendons, joints).

In this way, you can experience letting go through effortless action (Wu-Wei) and allow energy (QI) to flow freely.
Finally, the last aspect of Yin Yoga that makes it so special is the calm brought about by its mediative approach.

This yoga is an invitation to gentleness.
Here, each posture is performed on the floor, and held for between 3 and 5 minutes.
The use of cushions, bolsters, blocks etc.... helps to maintain physical and mental relaxation.
This yoga is a complement to dynamic yoga or to sports practices in their own right.
