Learning Yoga lessons with Melanie + Yoga philosophy

From 121 C$ /h

Embark on a transformative self-discovery and holistic wellness journey with our invigorating Ashtanga Yoga classes. Rooted in ancient yoga traditions, Ashtanga Yoga offers a dynamic and structured approach to yoga practice, combining breathwork (pranayama), movement (asana), and meditation to cultivate physical strength, mental clarity, and spiritual awareness.

Led by experienced and certified yoga instructors, My Ashtanga Yoga classes suit practitioners of all levels, from beginners to advanced students. Each class begins with a grounding meditation and breath awareness, setting the intention for the practice and creating a calm and focused mindset.

Students will flow through the primary series of Ashtanga Yoga, known as "Yoga Chikitsa" or Yoga Therapy, through a carefully sequenced series of postures. This systematic sequence of poses is designed to detoxify the body, improve flexibility, and build strength while also promoting internal balance and harmony.

The dynamic nature of Ashtanga Yoga encourages practitioners to move with intention and mindfulness, synchronizing breath with movement to create a moving meditation. As students progress through the practice, they will develop greater physical endurance, mental resilience, and emotional stability while deepening their connection to the present moment.

In addition to the physical benefits, Ashtanga Yoga offers profound psychological and spiritual benefits, helping students cultivate inner peace, self-awareness, and spiritual awakening. By integrating the principles of yoga philosophy into the practice, students will learn to develop compassion, gratitude, and acceptance both on and off the mat.

Whether you want to build strength, increase flexibility, or deepen your spiritual practice, our Ashtanga Yoga classes provide a supportive and nurturing environment for personal growth and transformation. Join us on the mat and experience the transformative power of Ashtanga Yoga in your life.

Namaste.

Why is pelvic mobility important?
🔆Pelvic mobility is essential to meet the simplest daily functional needs such as walking or climbing stairs. The pelvis is the center of gravity and the largest bone complex in the human body. It is an insertion point for strong muscles: they form the muscular chains that have the pelvis as an anchor point.
The shortening or overtraining of some of them, due to sports postures or gestures, can generate an imbalance in the tensegrity system of the pelvic girdle and many local and adjacent problems, from muscle decompensations, pain, health problems at a visceral level and many others. aspects that are not taken into account 🧐
✅You have to ensure that your pelvis is in a neutral position, aligned at all times and in any activity you do so that your body does not adopt wrong postures by default and avoid having problems with its mobility and consequently other derived dysfunctions, such as hernias, lower back pain. , pelvic floor problems, etc.
📌The program aims to strengthen, stretch and put into tension the muscle chains and the analytical work of the abductor, adductor, extensor and pelvitrochanter complex. All of these myofascial elements determine the pelvic position and, in doing so, create or limit the freedom of the pelvis, having repercussions on the lower and upper limbs.
🤗 Of course we are not going to leave aside the rest of the body❗️❗️😅
The training approach will be individualized, after a general and analytical body evaluation.
Enough of so many aches and pains, release the superficial and deep fascia and revitalize your energy center. 🥰

Every face is different.

Therefore, I don't recommend exactly the same routine to everyone. Your practice can be adapted according to your goals, experience, comfort level and areas you would like to focus on.

Whether your goal is facial toning, relaxation, jaw and facial tension release, or developing a regular natural self-care routine, we can create an appropriate practice for you.

At Yoga Divine Soul, Face Yoga combines structured facial exercises with breath awareness, relaxation and mindful facial movement to help you develop greater awareness and control of your facial muscles while supporting overall facial wellbeing.

Just as Yoga uses conscious movement to develop awareness and strength in the body, Face Yoga uses controlled movements, gentle resistance, relaxation and massage techniques to engage the muscles of the face and neck.

My approach focuses not only on appearance, but also on facial relaxation, stress release, mindful breathing and inner confidence.

Stress, low energy, back pain? Most of us face these or similar issues, but there is a way to let them go with joy and ease - through yoga. Yoga was designed as a system for managing energy, and it has been practiced and refined for thousands of years.

I am practicing yoga for over a decade now and I am a certified teacher in Hatha Yoga, Yin Yoga, and Yoga Nidra. My own practice includes conscious bodywork and daily meditation, and I am here to guide you back to balance, in your body and in yourself.

In Hatha Yoga, we build strength and flexibility while calming an overactive mind, combining alignment, breath, and yogic philosophy.

In Yin Yoga, we hold long, passive postures that release built-up tension and calm the nervous system. Yin yoga works for when stress has been building up for a while.

In Yoga Nidra, we practice guided deep relaxation and non-sleep deep rest (NSDR), for when you are running on empty and need rest without needing to fall asleep.

We practice Pranayama usually as an integral part of the yoga class, we work with the breath to help you calm down or find focus, depending on what your energy needs that day.

Hi! I’m Anouk, a certified yoga teacher 🧘‍♀️ offering personalized yoga and mobility classes adapted to your body, your lifestyle and your goals.

My approach is simple: **yoga should adapt to you, not the other way around.** ✨

Whether you are a complete beginner, an athlete, a runner, a gym enthusiast, or simply someone who feels stiff and wants to move better, I create each session around what you actually need.

Classes can focus on:

• Improving flexibility and mobility
• Releasing tight hips, hamstrings, shoulders or back
• Yoga and mobility for runners 🏃
• Recovery and mobility for strength training and gym athletes
• Improving balance, body awareness and control
• Gentle yoga and active recovery
• Building a regular yoga practice
• Learning yoga postures and proper alignment
• Personalized stretching routines
• Relaxation, breathing and stress relief

You do **not** need to be flexible or experienced to start.

Every session is adapted to your current level, mobility, physical activity and personal goals. We can have a relaxing session, work specifically on mobility and flexibility, or create a more athletic practice depending on what you need.

I teach **private 1 to 1 sessions as well as sessions for two people**, online worldwide 🌍 or in person depending on location.

Classes are available in **French 🇫🇷 and English 🇬🇧**.

My goal is not simply to make you “do yoga”, but to help you use yoga and mobility as practical tools to feel better in your body and improve the activities and sports you already enjoy.

Hi! I'm Anto, a yoga teacher with dual training: in Argentina and India.
I lived in Australia for 4 years, so I teach in English or Spanish.

I offer a holistic approach, beyond the physical: we will work together on postures with breathing, meditation, yogic philosophy and general well-being.
You will find classes designed and planned according to what you are looking for and your possibilities/needs; they can be gentler and more mindful practices or dynamic ones.

If you're in the northern/western area of Greater Buenos Aires, ask me about in-person classes at your home. Outdoor groups will also be available soon.

Throughout my travels in Asia, I discovered and learned different practices of meditation, breathing, visualization and relaxation which I now share through a simple, accessible and personalized approach.

Each session is a moment entirely devoted to you, to slow down, release tension and regain a state of calm.

Depending on your needs, a session may combine:

• guided meditation
• active meditation
• breathing exercises
• visualization
• gentle movements
• anchoring exercises
• relaxation
• techniques inspired by sophrology

You don't need to know how to meditate or be able to "empty your mind".

Some sessions may be very calm and introspective, while others may be more active, especially if you have trouble staying still.

I guide you step by step and adapt the practice to your personality, your state of mind and your current needs.

The goal is also to gradually provide you with simple exercises that you can reuse on your own in your daily life.

Meditation, breathing and visualization are indeed among the practices currently offered in the meditation ads on Apprentus FR.

Lessons are available in 25, 45 or 55 minutes, to allow me time to connect to my next lesson.
