Each morning we will gently wake up and open up the body, warm up all the joints with vinyasa flows, Sun Salutations, a few stretches and final relaxation (Savasana).

Breathing (Pranayama) is a powerful instrument to improve the quality of your performance. Deep breathing and synchronised movements with a breath, while in a yoga class will improve the blood circulation, open the lungs and prepare the body for your day in the mountains.

San Salutation is a traditional morning yoga practice, performed in cyclic order and a dynamic way. We often practise those during morning classes in MoaAlm to make sure you are boosted with new vital energy and ready for the day.

Guided Relaxation (Savasana) is a lovely healing practice which helps to remove the tensions from the body, recover faster, so you get ready for the new adventure in the mountains.

 In the evening we might offer a relaxing Yin or Restorative Yoga class to make sure you rest and recharge after your mountain adventures.  Yin Yoga combines aspects of Hatha and the concept of the meridians in Chinese medicine.  It is slow-paced practice in which poses are held for 3+ minutes. Targeting the connective tissues, ligaments, organs, immune system, bones, and joints.
