Anne-Marie Raison offre une pratique sur fond de détente. Des postures variées qui étirent, renforcent, assouplissent le corps…. présence à soi et à sa respiration… respect des limites de  chacun…. le but de la séance de yoga est aussi d’apprendre à cultiver la détente partout, tout le temps. Imperceptiblement, le yoga se met de lui-même en place dans la vie courante. La séance commence par des mouvement doux préparatoires. Les postures variées se placent  en accord avec le souffle et  avec les possibilités de l’instant. La détente émerge naturellement du travail postural. Enseignement inspiré de A.Van Lysebeth, B.K.S. Iyengar, A. Desjardins.

Florian Parra est enseignant de yoga certifié par BKS Iyengar. Le yoga est entré dans ma vie par hasard, dans un moment où je souhaitais une activité qui passe par le corps. Dès le premier cours, je fus impacté par l’exigence de cette pratique mais aussi par le bien-être qu’elle m’apportait et ce, malgré mes limites corporelles. Pendant 10 années, j’ai pratiqué en tant qu’élève puis intégré la formation pour devenir professeur certifié Iyengar. Dans un esprit d’ouverture et de liberté, il me tient à cœur de diffuser le yoga dans différents lieux avec des publics totalement différents. J’essaie donc d’enseigner cette méthode avec joie, respect, rigueur et simplicité. La méthode se caractérise par l’attention portée sur l’alignement des différentes parties du corps dans l’espace, l’organisation des postures en séquences et l’emploi de supports (sangles, briques, couvertures, chaises, cordes…). Ces principes de base permettent de développer un meilleur équilibre et mental. L’enseignement est progressif et adapté aux capacités physiques de chacun.

Elena is a Movement Educator, Mobility Therapist and a Holistic Health Coach. She started practicing yoga in the early 2000s, initially with Hatha Yoga and then with Ashtanga Yoga. Beyond the scope of yoga, her inquisitive nature and her thirst for learning and deeply understanding the human body, movement, breath and prana, have led her to expand her knowledge base and scope of teaching
Though her Yoga classes and teaching, she wishes to educate people so they are able to make informed decisions taking agency of their own bodies and how they move, taking control of their mind and their overall health, reconnecting to their heart and joy. Her classes are infused with joint mobility work, strength and flexibility as an explorative journey. Through her classes she’s making an effort to integrate her varied knowledge, teaching people to connect with their bodies, to take a moment to pause so they can feel, listen, explore.
Good alignment is the expression of being in our foundation in an expansive manner where energy flows uninterrupted, so we can experience the body vibrant and energised, to feel the breath steady and calm and the mind coning closer and closer to stillness.
Practice with strength in a relaxed manner with joy

Before dedicating himself completely to the oriental arts of health of yoga, do-in and to shiatsu, Palle Dyrvall managed a career as a dancer, during which he practiced several somatic techniques such as Release Technique, Alexander Technique and Body Mind Centering, which allowed him to develop a deep knowledge of the human body and its energetic system. Applying these experiences to Yoga has allowed him to propose a class that promotes a natural way of using the body and that listens to the whole body and mind together. The aim of his class is also to be in motion through the asanas, to get the most out of the practice in terms of well being and to prevent injuries on and off the yoga mat.  The main influences on his class has been the style of Sivananda with its use of the sun salutations and the 12 main postures, Ashtanga characterized by the linking of the postures in a long flowing sequences “viniyasa”, Iyengar for its use of blocks, belts and blankets to help for a better alignment and Yoga Nidra for a final relaxation and integration of the practice. Palle is a qualified shiatsu practitioner and teacher of Shiatsu, has studied Chinese medicine and practices the oriental arts of health Do-In and Qi Gong.

Sabrina Messal débutant le yoga il y a plus de 20 ans dans le but de soulager de graves maux de dos, je me suis sentie non seulement complètement rétablie physiquement mais j’ai également découvert une magnifique aventure mentale et humaine… ce qui m’a amené à une grande envie de partage. Formée en Hatha yoga, je me suis ensuite intéressée à la yoga thérapie, au yin yoga et au yoga pour enfant. Je continue actuellement à naviguer et à me nourrir dans tout ce que le yoga, méditation et la musique peuvent m’apporter.

Elle a d’abord obtenu le diplôme de professeur en «Hatha Yoga» Traditionnel, mais quand le yoga Iyengar a croisé son chemin elle est restée fascinée par sa précision et son intensité en comprenant qu’on peut mettre le corps au centre de sa quête, la pleine conscience de soi à travers les asanas (postures) en utilisant des accessoires pour permettre l’adaptation (viniyoga = adaptation selon l’âge, l’état, le genre, le type de corps, etc) ainsi que de nombreuses applications thérapeutiques. Certifiée depuis le 2010 a été aussi pour plusieurs années assistante dans les classes thérapeutiques; elle continue à suivre des stages, cours et conventions en Italie, en Europe et se joindre régulièrement en Inde au Ramamani Iyengar Memorial Yoga Institute (RIMYI) de Pune.

Zsuzsanna Rideg is a Hungarian Hatha yoga teacher, who completed her teacher training in Belgium. For her, yoga is a not only a hobby, but a powerful tool to create balance in life. She has been practicing yoga for 15 years. Her classes focus on counteracting the effects of modern (sedentary) lifestyle. Fascinated by the human body’s own built-in healing capacities, she uses gentle, flow-like exercises that help modify poor posture by re-educating the body and the nervous system. We mobilise articulations and stabilise them by strengthening the core muscles at the same time. The goal of her yoga class is not only a healthy spine and a correct posture (on and off the mat) but also to develop movement patterns, that our body was designed for before we became ‘homo bureauticus’.  She uses breathing and relaxation techniques to create some moments of peace and tranquillity. When used on a regular basis these techniques help calm the nervous system and develop resilience against the distress that is so much present in our modern world.

Hatha (generally practiced more slowly and with more static posture holds than found in styles such as Ashtanga or Vinyasa; however, traditionally, Hatha yoga offered a total life philosophy, incorporating how we relate to external and internal experience as a path to inner peace)
‍Iyengar (with a focus on the structural alignment of the physical body through the practice of asanas; it differs from other styles of yoga in three ways: precision, sequence and use of props)
‍Vinyasa (dynamic practice linking breath to movement with a theme or purpose composed of poses linked and associated together)
‍Anusara (modern-day Hatha yoga system, with a set of basic principles: attitude, alignment and action and five alignment principles, is viewed as an inclusive and accepting style of yoga where yogis are given the opportunity to express themselves and find the positions that best suit them using also props)
‍Yin (a slow-paced style of yoga where asanas (postures) are held for longer periods of time and the sequences are meant to stimulate the channels of the subtle body known as nadis in Hatha yoga and targets the deepest tissues of the body, our connective tissues)
