Do-In Yoga - Japanese exercises for Strength, Relaxation & Insight

Do-In Yoga is for everyone! It's an accessible way of doing yoga: women, men & kids love it.
Do-in Yoga has its origin in Japan; we combine 'makko ho' stretches with Qi Gong (breathing) exercises, tapping the meridians (energy pathways in the body) and short meditation.

You'll learn how to take care of your body and also what stretches have a certain effect on different functions in the body.

Extra information

In case you need extra support you can use pillows or a block during class. Bring a warm blanket and/or an eye pillow for the end relaxation.

About Me

- Besides teaching Yoga I make jewelry and accessories (eye pillows, etc) and sell these items through Etsy. However I love expanding my yoga teaching hours! This feels like sharing what I love doing most.

- During my classes I emphasize the importance of the 'Yin' aspect of moving: seeking stillness within.

- I motivate every yoga practitioner to listen to their inner teacher to be guided towards a pose that is suitable for him/her.

We had a very calm and relaxing yoga class with Merel. She is extremly nice and thoughtful. fully recommend!
Combination of Dance fitness & yoga During the class we first warm up with simple dance movements that are easy to follow. Then we raise the heart rate a little more with more active dance moves. There is no need to follow everything seamlessly; it's about moving and loosening the body. As long as the blood can flow freely: it's all about the fun! After the dance part of the class, we grab the yoga mat to start the yoga stretches and flow movements. Here too, it is not about what the postures look like, but rather about what you feel in your body! Every person is wired differently. In addition, one day we can easily get into a stretch and another day it feels less flexible. Breathing is central during this lesson, both in the dance moves and in the yoga part.

HATHA YOGA/ASHTANGA YOGA/YOGA NIDRA/Meditations. Improve your physical and mental health with the best coach in Ukraine!
Hey, I'm manager of yoga instructor Diana. She's from Ukraine, so I'll help with translations and communication. Hatha yoga - Yoga helps us to strengthen the body from the outside and inside. It helps us to improve our inner state and find balance. It is an opportunity to organize thoughts and focus on the here and now. In addition, yoga strengthens the body and improves mood. It has a positive effect on the flexibility and balance of our body. What are the benefits of this practice? First of all, it helps to strengthen the human body, build endurance and willpower. This yoga helps to relax and improves the ability to cope with stress. It has a positive effect on blood sugar and cholesterol levels. Due to the diversity of this practice, it improves muscle flexibility. Also, this practice fills the body with energy, boosts immunity and improves your posture. This practice is suitable for both women and men of all ages. The practice is a bit more complicated than hatha yoga, but it is also suitable for beginners. It is possible to move further in terms of complexity, using more dynamics and increasing the complexity of asanas. Further complication is focused on the use of asanas with deflections and inverted positions. Also, you can smoothly move into Ashtanga yoga or dynamic yoga. Diana has three years of experience teaching modern dance and yoga individually. She has more than 5 years of teaching experience in groups and dozens of satisfied students. Therefore, she will definitely provide everyone with an individual approach, find the right pace and the necessary asanas. If you have more questions, don't hesitate to text me <3 Let's change our lives today, not every Monday, right?)
