YOGA PRACTICE
Kundalini Yoga
Discover your inner self through Kundalini yoga!
Combination of movements, static positions, breathing, and meditations will bring you to another level of awareness about all the blocks in your physical body. Your body keeps the memory about your life experience, emotions of the past, traumas, and self-disconnection. Kundalini yoga is the best way to work on it and release whatever limits you.
Practicing kriyas and meditations is a challenging experience. It is always your choice, how much you want to delve into it.
During the practice, you can experience a lot of resistance and tension, but passing through it, will bring you to a very inner world where you will meet with your soul, find answers to your questions, and discover your original personality. You will start feeling how your energy is moving, and you will understand that you are more than just a physical body.
Attending to Kundalini yoga classes and meditations will give you a deep spiritual experience you have never received.
Hatha Yoga
Many popular modern yoga styles came from classic Hatha Yoga. Hatha Yoga means balance between Sun (Ha) and Moon (Tha) energies, so why it has the power to transform you into a more balanced and strengthened being.
At the classes, we incorporate different styles, such as classic Hatha yoga, Vinyasa yoga, Gentle flow yoga, and Yin Yoga to focus on particular requests of participants.
Hatha yoga is an ideal starting place for people who are new to yoga. One of the more challenging aspects of a yoga practice is combining movements with breathing control, or pranayama. Both Hatha and Vinyasa yoga work to increase flexibility and strength, improve breathing and quiet the mind. Hatha yoga purifies the body in preparation for meditation. Vinyasa yoga is a fast-paced series of postures or asanas that focuses on the flow between movements, rather than individual poses.
Yin Yoga
Yin Yoga is a slow-paced style of yoga as exercise, incorporating principles of traditional Chinese medicine, with asanas (postures) that are held for longer periods of time than in other styles.
A Yin yoga class usually consists of a series of long-held, passive floor poses that mainly work the lower part of the body – the hips, pelvis, inner thighs, lower spine. These areas are especially rich in connective tissues. The poses are held for up to five minutes, sometimes longer.

Sat Nam Rasayan® healing
Sat Nam Rasayan® is a technology that stems from an ancient healing tradition, traced back to the great Indian healer, yogi, and Sikh master Guru Ram Das.
It has been taught secretly and in silence from Master to the student, until the 1980s. At that time, Yogi Bhajan, the master who also brought Kundalini Yoga to the West, taught it to his chosen student, a reputed Shaman, and healer named Guru Dev Singh, with the mission to teach this technology openly for the first time.
How does it work?
Sat Nam Rasayan® works at the level of consciousness or meditative mind. The practitioner accesses a neutral meditative space and observes the internal conflicts and resistances within you in their energetic form.
The effects of Sat Nam Rasayan® - that is, a shift in your consciousness - can be very deep and profoundly affect your life in a positive way. As the shift is subtle as it is deep, you may not see or feel the effects you would expect in a conventional way. Just observe whatever your issue is getting resolved in ways that are seemingly unrelated to your sessions.
What happens during a session?
A Sat Nam Rasayan® session is thankfully stress-free, not much will be required of you. Try to fully lend yourself to the experience. Experience occurs whatever you fall asleep or remain awake. For best results, try not to let your brain and its commentaries get in the way. At the beginning of the session, you will have the opportunity to express your concerns and desired goals.
The actual meditative experience usually lasts about 20 minutes, although in some cases it may last longer. Please allow 45 minutes for the full session.
Jiva
Energy massage Jiva (literary translated as "Alive") - Old Slavic bodily practice, and one of the sacred existential knowledge of mankind. Jiva fills the whole being with tangible strength, joy, and healing, harmonizing not only the body but also emotional state and life events. Jiva allows you to get equilibrium and balance.
The Jiva session includes sequential work with the whole body, starting with the tips of the toes and ending with the top of the head. Vast areas are stimulated during the massage. This massage is highly effective in the treatment of many diseases: due to the impact on the energy level produced through the meridians, the flow of vital energy of "Ji" (Chi) is normalized and the cause of the disease itself is eliminated. There are launch and cleansing of the lymphatic system of the body from toxins and poisons.
At the same time, you can receive deep spiritual experience, like an emotional release, understanding of some cases of your life, information about your previous incarnations.
