1. What is yoga and what is it for?
Yoga is an ancient practice that includes physical exercises (asanas), breathing techniques (pranayama), and meditation. Yoga helps improve flexibility, strength, balance, and reduces stress and anxiety. It promotes harmony between body, mind and spirit, improving overall well-being.
2. Is yoga suitable for beginners?
Yes! Yoga is suitable for everyone, regardless of their level of training. If you are a beginner, our teachers will help you learn the basic poses and techniques. We recommend starting with a beginners class, where the pace is slower and explanations are given for each asana.
3. What are the different styles of yoga?
We offer different styles of yoga so that everyone can choose the right one:
- Hatha yoga – a classical form of yoga including basic asanas and breathing techniques.
- Ashtanga yoga – a more dynamic and intense practice suitable for those who want to develop strength and flexibility.

- Meditation and pranayama – breathing exercises and meditations to calm the mind and relieve stress.

The optimal frequency of practice is 3-4 times a week, but even 1-2 sessions a week can have positive results. Regular practice will help you quickly notice improvements in flexibility, strength and overall health.
