By definition, restorative yoga is a restful practice that holds yoga poses (asanas) for a longer duration using props like yoga blocks, blankets, and bolsters. It is a practice of deep relaxation that emphasizes the meditative aspect of yoga—the union of body and mind. Through the use of props for support, many of the postures are held almost effortlessly. 2, record 2, English, - restorative%20yoga

Our aerial yoga teacher training is a yoga based, rather than acrobatic, form of aerial yoga using the soft yoga hammock to practice traditional hatha yoga. The hammock is a prop like a strap or block, intended to assist alignment, deepen awareness and provide the immediate benefit of spinal decompression. With the weight of the body partially or fully supported along with the help of gravity, we can explore and create space in our bodies as intended in traditional yoga practice. 4, record 3, English, - aerial%20yoga%20hammock

Vinyasa orchestrates balance. A balance of strength and flexibility, lightness and heaviness, movement and stillness. Through vinyasa one may know the vibration of life. This integration manifests when the act of breathing and movement cease to be separate entities. The two actions converge to create a symphony of seamless unity. Each action encourates the other. 3, record 8, English, - vinyasa%20yoga

Une séance typique du vinyasa yoga peut commencer par la salutation du soleil puis par un étirement plus intense et la réalisation d'un équilibre propre à elle en réalisant une posture donnée puis son opposée. En outre, le vinyasa yoga est un style qui permet aux élèves de changer plus rapidement de postures plutôt que de les maintenir beaucoup plus longtemps comme il est le cas dans d’autres styles de yoga. En conséquence, ce style de yoga est souvent plus actif que les autres et permet également d’améliorer la souplesse, de tonifier le corps, d’augmenter les niveaux énergétiques, de relâcher la tension et de favoriser la relaxation. 1, record 8, French, - vinyasa%20yoga

La méditation est un procédé qui se propose de calmer la turbulence de notre vie intérieure et extérieure, en créant de l’harmonie entre l'individu et son monde social et spirituel. Sans être un procédé fondé nécessairement sur la croyance, elle peut finalement déterminer la perfection à l’intérieur et à l’extérieur de nos vies. Elle est un procédé qui nous simplifie la vie et nous enrichit l’âme. Elle nous offre du silence, de la compréhension, de la liberté et de la paix.

The word "hatha" comes from the Sanskrit terms "ha" meaning "sun" and "tha" meaning "moon." Thus, hatha yoga is known as the branch of yoga that unites pairs of opposites referring to the positive (sun) and negative (moon) currents in the system. It concentrates on the third (asana) and fourth (pranayama) steps in the eight limbs of yoga. Hatha yoga tries to achieve balance between body and mind, as well as attempts to free the more subtle spiritual elements of the mind through physical poses or asanas, breathing techniques or pranayama, and meditation. 3, record 15, English, - hatha%20yoga

Kundalini yoga is a physical, mental and spiritual discipline for developing strength, awareness, character, and consciousness. Practitioners call kundalini yoga the yoga of awareness because it focuses primarily on practices that expand sensory awareness and intuition in order to raise individual consciousness and merge it with the infinite consciousness of God Brahman. Considered an advanced form of yoga and meditation, its purpose is to cultivate the creative spiritual potential of a human to uphold values, speak truth, and focus on the compassion and consciousness needed to serve and heal others. 3, record 16, English, - kundalini%20yoga

Kundalini yoga est un style de yoga qui se focalise sur l'éveil de l'énergie qui se trouve à la base de notre colonne vertébrale. Pour cette raison, kundalini yoga est considéré comme étant la forme la plus puissante du yoga connue jusqu’à nos jours. On dit que cette énergie prend la forme d'un serpent enroulé, d'où le nom «kundalini», qui est un mot sanscrit signifiant «enroulé». 3, record 16, French, - kundalini%20yoga
