The yoga classes
Depending on your arrival day, you will be able to enjoy max 12 yoga classes per week:
- 6 days Vinyasa flow morning class (no morning yoga on Saturdays)
- 6 evening soft flow or Yin yoga class (no evening yoga on “dinner-out-day”)
There will also be 5 meditation meetings (30 minutes) before evening yoga class (no meditation on Saturdays and dinner-out-day).
Yoga is for everyone, so you do not need to be an aficionado, nor to be in top form. Each class includes the practice of pranayama (breathing exercises), asanas (seat, posture) and savasana (relaxation at the end of the class). The morning classes will be the Vinyasa flow, a gentle practice of Hatha yoga which focuses on the synchronization of the breath (prana) with the postures (asanas). It is a dance of the asanas always in connection with breathing to calm the mind.
Let the breath be your guide to liberate your mind and increase your inner peace, harmony, love and joy. Practicing yoga will help to harmonize the nervous system, increase the sense of balance of body and mind and strengthens the lymphatic system.
Traditionally the evening classes are more soft, slow, Restorative or Yin yoga to integrate the day and prepare for a great rest for the night. Let yourself emerge into the flow of your yoga practice. Enjoy the breathing, and relax deeply your body, muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints and also your mind. Let yourself lead your own breath through a class full of regeneration, recreation, and calm.
Adventures
In this package, you have the option to choose 2 extra activities: mountain bike tour or SUP tour or surfing lesson or outdoor boulder experience.
All the outdoor activities are entirely dependent on the weather and sea condition (SUP, surfing). Omassim does their best to make it possible.
