DREAM & PRACTICE
Hatha Yoga
Hatha Yoga means balance between Sun (Ha) and Moon (Tha) energies. It has the power to transform you into a more balanced and strengthened being.
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. Hatha yoga increases flexibility and strength, improves breathing and quiets the mind. Hatha yoga purifies the body in preparation for meditation.
Classes might contain elements of Vinyasa or Yin Yoga.
Yoga Markandeya

Markandeya means healing. This is one of the most ancient yoga approaches that is famous in Bali. Combinations of movements, static positions, breathing, and meditations will bring you to another level of awareness of the blocks in your physical body. You will learn how to balance energy in your chakras through connection to the energy of the Sun, the Moon, and stars.
Attending to Markandeya yoga classes and meditations will give you a deep spiritual experience you have never received.
Meditation
Meditation is a powerful instrument to balance the entire human’s energy system.
Chakra balancing meditations use different tools that help you to feel in which energy center you have imbalance.

We also offer a deep meditation journey through a technique of Yoga Nidra and Sound Healing, that helps reduce stress, anxiety, and depression.
