Yoga
The body is the dwelling place of our soul, our spirit; it carries us through this human experience. It is our temple, so it's crucial to feel comfortable within it. Through movement and conscious breathing, we aim to deeply embody existence with profound presence.
Holding postures teaches us resilience, guides our focus, trains the mind, and demonstrates how to direct our energy where needed, how to be still and and find comfort in the discomfort. Alongside controlled breathing, we re-learn detachment, the innate ability to let go of what no longer serves our purpose.
Virginia is a passionate yoga student dedicated to the continual pursuit of presence, returning to the body to make decisions from there rather than from the mind that narrates stories.
She has completed her initial 200 hours of Hatha/Vinyasa training at One Yoga in Thailand, followed by 300 hours in Hatha-Ashtanga and Holistic Therapy at Adiyogpeeth in Rishikesh, India. Additionally, she has also undertaken 50 hours of Yin training at Yoga Union in Bali, Indonesia

Strong Vinyasa
During our practices, we strive to strike a balance between the dynamism and fluidity of Vinyasa and the strength and empowerment gained from challenging ourselves to hold poses, even amidst discomfort in Hatha.
Always maintaining conscious breathing, we engage in pranayama exercises, a brief meditation at the outset, and conclude with a final relaxation in savasana
Yin
Such a practice can offer a sense of relaxation and relief while also potentially becoming extremely challenging. By holding poses for an extended period, we can access more subtle and less common spaces within ourselves, akin to the effects of acupuncture or reflexology. In doing so, we pave the way for energy to flow freely throughout our body.
Pranayama
Indeed, as the name suggests, Pranayama—'Prana' (life force or energy) and 'Yama' (regulation)—aims to regulate the vital energy through breath control. We re-learn to breathe using various techniques, aiming to enhance the well-being of our physical, mental, and spiritual bodies.
