Maskra-Flow offers Vinyasa and Yin Yoga classes and integrates the eight limbs of the Patanjali yoga path into her classes. In addition to yoga poses and movements (asanas), breathing exercises (pranayama) and meditation units (dhyana) are practiced too. Besides, the remaining four limbs are also incorporated into the classes. Together we learn how to deal with the environment, ourselves and our senses (Yamas, Nyamas and Pratyahara) and practice concentration (Samadhi). The goal of the yoga path according to Patanjali is samadhi, the enlightenment, a state of completeness and oneness.
Vinyasa Yoga
find BaLance through Movement
Vinyasa is an active, powerful yoga style in which the individual yoga poses (asanas) are brought into a sequence with flowing transitions.
I start the class very gently, with the aim of letting you (your body, mind and soul) arrive on the yoga mat. Your awareness will be strengthened, your muscles will be stretched and your joints will be mobilized. This is followed by a powerful and flowing part that strains your muscles and makes you sweat. The conclusion is to shut down your nervous system and prepare for Savasana by giving yourself time to accept and embody what you have experienced.
Regardless of whether you are a yoga beginner or an advanced practitioner, this class is suitable for anyone who would like to be guided through breathing, strength and stretching exercises with the aim of finding balance through movement.
Yin Yoga
Gain strength through Stillness
Yin is a passive yoga style in which the poses (asanas) are held for longer and practiced without any muscle strength, so that deep layers such as the fascia tissue are consciously reached.
I include Yin elements in every Vinyasa class and also teach Yin classes without Yang elements (muscular strength and movement). The aim of the Yin class is to calm down and set a counter-accent to our yang infused everyday life (tension, stress, duties). Targeted, long-lasting stretching exercises reach the deep layers of tissue, our fascia, and promote the supply of nutrients to muscles, joints, cartilage, tendons, ligaments and bones. Although there isn't much external movement in practice, there is a lot of internal movement. In addition to the physical aspects, the practice also affects energetic and spiritual aspects with the aim of gaining new strength through through stillness.
Yin yoga is suitable for everyone from beginners to advanced and can even be practiced when injured, as each asana is supported with aids and adapted to the current state of the mind and the body's availability.
