Reiki is a Japanese word that means "universal life energy".

In yoga, Prana is a sanskrit word that means "vital life energy".

 

 

Sylvie's Hatha Yoga classes are "Kripalu Inspired".

 

Kripalu means "compassion" and the approach of the practice is one of awareness, acceptance, and listening. We honour where we are at in each moment, taking this time to nurture our bodies and minds in a space of compassion. The focus of the class is on meeting ourselves where we are at, and taking the time to just be present and in the moment.

 

Hatha yoga is non-competitive activity with a quality of listening to your own body, and aims to maintain good health/vitality at any age.

 

Centering, warm-ups, physical postures, breathing exercises, deep relaxation and meditation are practiced, bringing about many benefits including strength, flexibility, calm and overall well-being.

Everyone progresses at their own pace, by being in tuned with their own body.

 

Knowing that each of us is unique, in our own way, that we are complete just the way we are, makes it easy to teach knowing that even on the same person, body parts from one side to the other might be totally different, and that is the way we were made!

 

Even in this wide astonishing universe only you are You.
