Program
Tai Chi Fuerteventura Wellbeing Retreat offers yoga classes in different styles. During its one-week program, Yin and Yang styles of yoga are complementing each other by bringing balance between active and passive, masculine and feminine energies. The classes are based on the harmony of proper breathing, physical movement, and conscious presence.
You will practice with ’Ahimsa’, which literally means non-violence to yourself. Tai Chi Fuerteventura Wellbeing Retreat's priorities are to take care of you while giving you space and freedom to make the best of your yoga and meditation practice.
On one hand, it means offering free choices for you to be able to adapt your practice to your personal needs while you make your own personal connection and experience under their guidance. On the other hand, they give you proper alignments and corrections for safe, preventive, therapeutic, and sustainable practice. It reduces repetitive stress on joints and ligaments that can be caused also by unbalanced yoga practice, lack of balance in the physical body or in your lifestyle.
The yoga classes are always guided with a holistic approach and with personal attention to each student.
Yin style practices
Slowly - gently - deeply
When everything in your life is shifting, moving, and adjusting, wouldn’t it be lovely to feel grounded, calm and peaceful again?
Doing less can be very effective. Yin and meditative practices provide you with the superpower to stay calm in the chaos and take you further into unraveling the mysteries of the mind and beliefs. This retreat gives you the space to meet your true self.
The Yin style practices are: Yin yoga, Restorative yoga, deep relaxation (yoga Nidra), and meditation. Yin is a slow, soothing, and meditative style of practice. Yin is essentially a practice of surrender. Unlike other yang forms of practices that require strength and stability, Yin attitude requires stillness and softness. The result is a more mobile and fluid physical body and a more resilient and steady mind.
Yin yoga targets the deep connective tissues, bones, joints, fascia, and ligaments in the body. It also focuses on stretching and stimulating different meridians (energy channels) and acupressure points from Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Yang style practices
Enery and movement
Yang yoga is a style of yoga that is an effective way to strengthen, tone, and stretch your entire body. It helps your digestion, deepens your breath, relaxes your mind, and expands your consciousness. You will feel more energetic, more flexible, stronger, and less stressed.
Yang practice is suitable for everyone and will help you to feel fitter and healthier. The Yang style practices are: Hatha / Vinyasa, Ashtanga, Iyengar, Kundalini, Power, etc. The goal of these types of yoga is to build internal heat. They use special breathing (pranayama), and flowing with the breath dynamic sequences, consisting of repetitive movements and poses (asanas) that strengthen, lengthen, and tone the muscles.
