Yoga
Integrative Yoga Max 8 people
While modern life can feel like we are in a constant rush, Yoga mindfully connects us with the present moment through body awareness.
The very organic and bio-mechanical progressive vinyasa (movement sequences), consciousness, motion and breath brings us to a greater ease, enhancing balance, strength and flexibility, as well as influencing perspective and stress management.
The best part of Integrative Yoga is that it suits everyone at any step of your journey. It is important to us to keep in mind your personal goals and facilitate plenty of options when it comes to an Asana (posture), in order to prevent or manage injuries/pain and make the most of your experience on the mat.
Yoga at arc Movement Studio is the perfect balance of strength, flow and meditation. During 75 minutes we combine Hatha and gentle Flow Vinyasa, in a very personalised and progressive way.
Our classes have a small number of students, aiming to provide attention, time and space for everyone.
