Prayana - A class to stretch and strengthen your body through movements

From 15 £ /h

Body is the biggest asset one possess; A healthy body helps to have healthy mind. Join me for the stretching & strengthening class, aligning with the body & mind in a safe environment.
It is important to keep our muscles and tissues strong and fit for the betterment of our body and health. It is not just about the external aspect of the body but also looking into the internal parts of the body.

With the flow of practice, we would be looking into understanding the body, its strengths and weaknesses and how to strengthen and stretch our body in a safer manner with our flow of breath increasing the mobility and agility. The practice would be a combination of yoga asana practice, animal flow of movements, cardios and breath work.
Classes would be on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Indian Classical Dance- Kathak Class for Beginners

17 £ /h

Kathak is one of the Indian classical dance forms from North India. It is the only dance form that portrays both Hinduism and Islamic culture.
I will be teaching from the basics of the art form along with the theory aspects from Natyshastra and Abhinaya Darpana.
Understanding why we are doing each step is very important when we learn something new. And when someone asks, one should be able to explain what they are learning and why it is done in that particular manner. I would also be teaching them the incorporation of theoretical aspects to the practicals, teaching different bedas and hand gestures(mudras), and their usages as they progress in order to understand what they are doing practically. All of these notes would be written by the students in their book for their future reference and self-practice. The class becomes intricate and complicated as they move forward. In every class they would be learning something new no matter whether it is big or small.
Some days they might have homework or creative exercises so that it helps them to choreograph and also bring their imaginations through movements.
I would be starting with the basic posture and the basic footwork called as tatkar as it is the basic and crucial one for this art form. Then it progresses to Tihai's and then to even with the usage of Ang ie, The hands and eyes and the sway of the body.
Tatkar (Footwork)
Chakkars(Pirouettes)
Tihai’s (Rhythmical pattern repeated thrice as an ending)
Usage of Ang( Inclusion of hand movements to Tatkar)
Shloka (Angikam bhuvanam)

Class Flow
Namaskar
Warm-ups
Tatkar (Different speeds; Starting with the slow speed till the higher speed that they can do)
Tatkar with Ang( In different speeds with the eye and hand movements in taught)

Why is pelvic mobility important?
🔆Pelvic mobility is essential to meet the simplest daily functional needs such as walking or climbing stairs. The pelvis is the center of gravity and the largest bone complex in the human body. It is an insertion point for strong muscles: they form the muscular chains that have the pelvis as an anchor point.
The shortening or overtraining of some of them, due to sports postures or gestures, can generate an imbalance in the tensegrity system of the pelvic girdle and many local and adjacent problems, from muscle decompensations, pain, health problems at a visceral level and many others. aspects that are not taken into account 🧐
✅You have to ensure that your pelvis is in a neutral position, aligned at all times and in any activity you do so that your body does not adopt wrong postures by default and avoid having problems with its mobility and consequently other derived dysfunctions, such as hernias, lower back pain. , pelvic floor problems, etc.
📌The program aims to strengthen, stretch and put into tension the muscle chains and the analytical work of the abductor, adductor, extensor and pelvitrochanter complex. All of these myofascial elements determine the pelvic position and, in doing so, create or limit the freedom of the pelvis, having repercussions on the lower and upper limbs.
🤗 Of course we are not going to leave aside the rest of the body❗️❗️😅
The training approach will be individualized, after a general and analytical body evaluation.
Enough of so many aches and pains, release the superficial and deep fascia and revitalize your energy center. 🥰

Yoga Nidra is a sacred practice of conscious rest, where the body sleeps while awareness remains awake. Rooted in the ancient yogic tradition, this guided journey gently draws attention inward, allowing the nervous system to settle and the mind to enter a deeply receptive state.

The practice begins with breath awareness and body sensing, followed by the setting of a Sankalpa—a heartfelt intention planted in the fertile ground between waking and sleep. Gentle mantra vibrations and guided imagery support the release of physical, mental, and emotional layers, leading toward a sense of wholeness and inner stillness.

In this liminal state, the fluctuations of the mind soften, echoing the yogic understanding that true rest arises not from sleep alone, but from presence. Yoga Nidra nourishes clarity, emotional balance, creativity, and deep renewal.

Suitable for all levels, this practice invites you to rest, realign, and reconnect with your inner wisdom.

Stress, low energy, back pain? Most of us face these or similar issues, but there is a way to let them go with joy and ease - through yoga. Yoga was designed as a system for managing energy, and it has been practiced and refined for thousands of years.

I am practicing yoga for over a decade now and I am a certified teacher in Hatha Yoga, Yin Yoga, and Yoga Nidra. My own practice includes conscious bodywork and daily meditation, and I am here to guide you back to balance, in your body and in yourself.

In Hatha Yoga, we build strength and flexibility while calming an overactive mind, combining alignment, breath, and yogic philosophy.

In Yin Yoga, we hold long, passive postures that release built-up tension and calm the nervous system. Yin yoga works for when stress has been building up for a while.

In Yoga Nidra, we practice guided deep relaxation and non-sleep deep rest (NSDR), for when you are running on empty and need rest without needing to fall asleep.

We practice Pranayama usually as an integral part of the yoga class, we work with the breath to help you calm down or find focus, depending on what your energy needs that day.

Hi! I’m Anouk, a certified yoga teacher 🧘‍♀️ offering personalized yoga and mobility classes adapted to your body, your lifestyle and your goals.

My approach is simple: **yoga should adapt to you, not the other way around.** ✨

Whether you are a complete beginner, an athlete, a runner, a gym enthusiast, or simply someone who feels stiff and wants to move better, I create each session around what you actually need.

Classes can focus on:

• Improving flexibility and mobility
• Releasing tight hips, hamstrings, shoulders or back
• Yoga and mobility for runners 🏃
• Recovery and mobility for strength training and gym athletes
• Improving balance, body awareness and control
• Gentle yoga and active recovery
• Building a regular yoga practice
• Learning yoga postures and proper alignment
• Personalized stretching routines
• Relaxation, breathing and stress relief

You do **not** need to be flexible or experienced to start.

Every session is adapted to your current level, mobility, physical activity and personal goals. We can have a relaxing session, work specifically on mobility and flexibility, or create a more athletic practice depending on what you need.

I teach **private 1 to 1 sessions as well as sessions for two people**, online worldwide 🌍 or in person depending on location.

Classes are available in **French 🇫🇷 and English 🇬🇧**.

My goal is not simply to make you “do yoga”, but to help you use yoga and mobility as practical tools to feel better in your body and improve the activities and sports you already enjoy.

I lived in Australia for 4 years, so I teach in English or Spanish.

I offer a holistic approach, beyond the physical: we will work together on postures with breathing, meditation, yogic philosophy and general well-being.
You will find classes designed and planned according to what you are looking for and your possibilities/needs; they can be gentler and more mindful practices or dynamic ones.

If you're in the northern/western area of Greater Buenos Aires, ask me about in-person classes at your home. Outdoor groups will also be available soon.

Somatic Meaning Guidance is my interdisciplinary approach to embodied awareness, movement, breath, meaning, and reflective practice.

Explore movement, breath, meditation, and body awareness through a fascia-aware and reflective approach to yoga.
I am a yoga instructor, logotherapist, and existential analyst. My approach brings together fascia-sensitive movement, mindful attention, breathing practices, meditation, and an interest in how the body, nervous system, awareness, and experience interact.

Rather than focusing on performance or forcing the body into fixed poses, these sessions invite you to explore movement through sensation, breath, rhythm, curiosity, and your own individual range. We can work with gentle yoga sequences, mobility, fascia-aware movement, grounding practices, meditation, breathing techniques, and periods of stillness.

We can also explore topics such as nervous system regulation, stress responses, neuroplasticity, attention, repetition, and embodied learning from an educational and experiential perspective. My background in logotherapy and existential analysis also informs my interest in awareness, meaning, perception, and the way we relate to our own experience.

Each session can be adapted to your experience, comfort, and personal goals. You do not need to be flexible or experienced in yoga. The practice can be gentle and exploratory or more movement-focused depending on what you need.

My aim is to create a space where movement is not simply something to perform, but something to notice, experience, and understand more deeply — through the relationship between body, breath, attention, and awareness.
These sessions are educational and wellness-oriented and are not a substitute for psychotherapy, physiotherapy, or medical treatment.

Join a yoga class that blends the steady, grounding qualities of Hatha with the flowing movement of Vinyasa. With two years of teaching experience, I guide each session with a particular focus on spinal alignment and flexibility, helping you build a strong, mobile and well-supported back.

Every class follows a clear and balanced structure: we begin with a moment of grounding to arrive and settle, then gently warm up the body before moving into the asanas. We continue with pranayama (breathwork) to calm and energize the mind, and close with a deep relaxation to integrate the practice.

Whether you are new to yoga or already have experience, classes are open to all levels, with adaptations offered so everyone can practice safely and at their own pace.

My yoga journey is rooted in helping people navigate the interconnected challenges of metabolic health, stress, and body image. Living with conditions like PCOS, struggling with mental health, or navigating weight management can often make standard exercise feel overwhelming or burn-out inducing. I created my practice to offer a different way forward.
I offer a balanced, body-honoring approach that focuses on regulating the nervous system, building functional strength, and supporting hormonal and metabolic health without force or shame.
