Yin Yog, a quiet contemplative practice....Enjoy the power of Restorative Yoga

From 54.99 C$ /h

A Yin yoga class usually consists of a series of long-held, passive floor poses that mainly work the lower part of the body – the hips, pelvis, inner thighs, lower spine. These areas are especially rich in connective tissues.Connective tissue responds best to a slow, steady load. If you gently stretch connective tissue by holding a yin pose for a long time, the body will respond by making them a little longer and stronger – which is exactly what you want.
Remember the principle of the exercise is to stress the tissue so the body will respond by strengthening it.

BENEFITS OF A REGULAR PRACTICE
Increases circulation and improves flexibility
Calms and balances the mind and body
Reduces stress and anxiety
Releases fascia
Encourages deeper relaxation
Improves joint mobility
Brings balance to the organs through meridian stimulation

FOUR MAIN PRINCIPLES TO REMEMBER WHEN PRACTICING YIN YOGA
Find an appropriate edge: Move slowly and gently into the pose, and look for an appropriate amount of intensity, never stretch so far as to cause pain.
Stillness: consciously try to release into the pose, and to remain still, without shifting position.
Hold the position: begin by holding for 1-3 minutes gradually progressing to 5 minutes or more.
Come out of the pose gently and slowly.

SEED OF YOG: Hatha, Pranayama, Vinyasa Flow and Meditation home classes ....

96.64 C$ /h

The modern world is a hostile place for our bodies.

In the old days, our ancestors had to walk, run and climb trees every day. They did not use chairs, cars, or computers. They were seated on the ground, they squatted regularly. We tend to forget how new our civilization is. And that's not necessarily what we're made for.

Your job probably requires sitting for an extended period of time. Either drive to work or work from home. As the amount of stress and tasks increase, your shoulders start to sag. Slowly your back stiffens and your breathing becomes shallow. When you are seated, your back becomes rounded and your head is heavy. Your back hurts and your neck hurts. Back pain makes you move less. Then your back hurts even more. So you move even less. Etc. Little by little, the quality of your life decreases.

These courses will give you the tools to break this vicious cycle and improve your life.

The world is as it is. So you can't just walk all day. We still have to do our job, we still have to sit for long periods of time. But there is still a lot to do!

During yoga classes with me, you will learn how to sit properly to protect your back effortlessly while you work. You will learn how to stand correctly so that your body gets a stable base. You will learn how to lie down well to allow your body to rest. With various yoga poses, you will strengthen your muscles and improve body alignment. You will learn to open your chest and breathe easier. You will learn to practice safely and efficiently. And very importantly, you will also learn how body and mind influence each other. You will get the tools to calm the restless mind and improve your quality of life.

The practice of yoga is a holistic practice. Therefore, not only your back, but your whole body and mind will be transformed.

Whether you have never tried yoga before (or any other activity) or are already an experienced yoga practitioner, all can benefit from learning and deepening this particular approach.

My classes will introduce you to the beauty of flowing sequences and how to connect you breath with your movements. I will focus on energizing your body through core strenghth and dynamic flows or more grounding standing series. Explore your body through movement in a light and playful way and improve your flexibility while learning how to use your breath in a healing way.

I'm offering private yoga sessions suitable for one person or small groups.

Prices for small groups can be discussed.

What I like about teaching:
I'm interested in encouraging people to use their breath in an empowering and healing way. Further to that I like the combination of flowing movements and the cultivation of groundedness both with deep Ujjayi Breath. Through hands-on assists I like to support my
students to get a deeper sensation of the pose and experience the borders of their bodies. In my classes I like to hold space for my students to experiment, discover their strength and to overcome fears.

I am a professional dancer who has completed the 200 Yoga Teacher Training at Samyak Yoga in Mysore, India. My training is focused on the physical & mental state within yoga as well as breathing techniques called Pranayama to assist the practice and improve overall well-being. All of my private and group classes focus on making the yoga practice accessible for all practitioners from absolute beginners to advanced students.

I believe Yoga is a shared experience that requires equal commitment from the teacher as well as the student. I make sure that students have a solid understanding of the postures, their benefits as well as the transitions between then to create a strong practice on and off the mat. I am always prepared to challenge the student as well as adapt to their needs.

Many individuals tend to associate yoga solely with its physical aspects, involving stretches and poses aimed at enhancing flexibility and posture. However, yoga encompasses more than just the physical. It possesses a profound influence on one's life by fostering transformative shifts in the mind through three distinctive pathways:
* Spiritual Awakening
* Mental Focus and Clarity
* Self-Discipline and Control

My lessons are flexible and built on over 6 years of experience — and thousands of classes taught.
I tune into the needs and rhythms of each student and adapt my sessions accordingly. Over time, I have refined a teaching approach that is both structured and intuitive, based on breath, body awareness, and alignment.

My classes are dynamic, precise, and revitalizing. Regular and mindful practice helps strengthen the body, improve mobility, relieve chronic tension (such as lower back or joint pain), and correct posture.
Breathing and relaxation techniques are always integrated to regulate the nervous system and cultivate a sense of grounding and openness.

I periodically assess your progress so that your practice evolves smoothly and effectively.
After a few sessions, you will feel lighter, more centered, and more connected to your body.

I have had the privilege of teaching in a variety of settings:
• at home and online,
• in companies, where I have delivered many weekly classes,
• abroad (notably in Lisbon and on a Mediterranean cruise ship),
• and at yoga festivals, where I have led classes with over 300 participants.

In 2023–2024, I deepened my practice in Mysore, India, under the direct guidance of R. Sharath Jois, a leading figure in Ashtanga Yoga.

Since 2023, I am also certified in Sports Massage Therapy (ITEC Level 3, London), which allows me to better understand body mechanics and offer complementary care off the mat.

And in 2024, I completed a certified training as a fitness coach, which has profoundly enriched and structured my yoga teaching — with greater postural precision, a more nuanced understanding of the body in motion, and increased attention to each person’s physical progress.

Teaching is a vocation for me — I would be delighted to support you on your yoga journey with a consistent, safe, and enriching practice.

Sound therapy is based on the principle of sympathetic resonance. Resonance is the vibratory rate of an object, and sympathetic resonance when one vibrating object causes another to vibrate in harmony with it. When we are unwell it is because some parts of us is not vibrating harmoniously with itself, or surroundings. Sound therapy restores the healthy frequency.

Some ways how sound therapy can help:

- stress and anxiety relief
- improved concentration and enhanced creativity
- brain hemisphere balancing
- chakra and aura cleaning and balancing
- induction of alpha brain wave activity or deep meditation
- restoration of equilibrium in endocrine system (through vibrating the glands)
- easier access to intuition and higher consciousness
- alleviation of ailments (physical, emotional, spiritual)

Hello! I am Mallika. I am from India and have been a yoga practitioner for over a decade. I started teaching yoga in Brussels in 2021. I emphasise the need for movement, stillness and breathing with awareness during my classes. I am deeply interested in yoga philosophy and have grown up around yoga practitioners (not just the asana/physical practice) - and am happy to share the wealth of this knowledge with my students in my own way.

I teach meditation, breathwork, and somatic relaxation through a structured and deeply human approach. My sessions are designed for beginner or intermediate adults who wish to reduce stress, improve their sleep, alleviate anxiety, or simply reconnect with a more stable and centered presence in their daily lives.

I combine practices primarily from Hatha and Kundalini Yoga, along with more contemplative and somatic approaches, to offer a comprehensive experience: mindfulness meditations, concentration exercises, transcendence techniques, balancing or energizing breathing, body scans, and somatic relaxations. A class always begins with an assessment of the current need: fatigue, mental strain, emotional tension, or a search for clarity.

Then, I adapt the techniques accordingly, whether it's to soothe the nervous system, strengthen grounding, develop concentration, or support more refined emotional regulation. The sessions can also take on a more introspective or spiritual dimension when the person feels ready.

With over twelve years of experience and 800 hours of certified training, I primarily work with professionals and parents experiencing overload, burnout, insomnia, overwork, or personal transitions. My approach remains accessible, non-dogmatic, and resolutely practical: the goal is to offer a safe, tailored, and truly transformative space, whether individually or in small groups.
