In these Integral Yoga sessions, you are invited to experience a truly complete practice that combines dynamic and static poses (asana), breathwork (pranayama), relaxation and meditation (dhyana), leaving you feeling both relaxed and energised.

The practice of Integral Yoga is one of the many branches of the great tree of yoga. Adopting an integral approach to yoga is to bring all the benefits together in one fluid, flexible and creative system.

Integral yoga is a synthesis of traditional yogic paths that converge with other spiritual and wisdom traditions, enriched with current scientific contributions, as well as more modern approaches from integral theory, transpersonal psychology, trauma-informed practice and integral theory.

Yoga includes the following elements:

• Yoga of the physical body (hatha yoga, yin yoga and relaxation),

• Yoga of the energetic body (kundalini yoga, Tantra and Taoist practices),

• Yoga of the mind (dhyana yoga, better known as meditation),

• Yoga of wisdom (prajna yoga), and

• Yoga for the opening of the heart (karma yoga and karuna, better known as compassion).

A typical Integral Yoga session begins with a focused seated meditation and a short relaxation practice, followed by a combination of dynamic and static bodywork (asana) and breathwork (pranayama) that focuses both on whole-body stimulation (warming up and mobilising the spinal column) and specific stimulation (working the different chakra points of the energetic body), and closing with a longer, deeper relaxation with instrumental music to complete the session.

The practice is inclusive of all cultures and backgrounds, and importantly, no prior experience is necessary.

All yoga mats, blocks, blankets and straps are provided for you; you simply need to bring yourself in comfortable clothing. It is strongly recommended to practice on an empty stomach or allow at least 2–3 hours after eating.
