PRACTICE BREAKDOWN
Hatha Yoga for Energy Activation
The Hatha part is heavily inspired by the Sivananda sequence – which simply put has a set of sun salutations and the same asanas, adjustable to any level, practiced with an emphasis to connect the movements with the breath. The practice also puts a heavy emphasis on resting in between, to benefit from each sequence. Repetition might sound boring – instead, it’s the paving ground for gathering self discipline, tune in with ourselves and notice our improvements – those who join my Hatha class regularly, know :). The sequence will leave you energized and ready to explore the next bit of the workshop.
Yin Yoga, Sound Vibrations & Yoga Nidra for deep introspection
This session will contain poses that will rebalance our nervous system during this winter season, relieve anxiety and soothe the mind. They will go along with the season’s element and the stretches will be beneficial for this period’s organs and meridians. In yin yoga, a pose is held up to 3-6 minutes.
Each pose has a rebound in between of a few minutes. A rebound means bringing the body in a neutral position to benefit from the asana you just practiced. In these moments you will enjoy a variety of massages performed either with singing bowls on your body or tuning forks. These massages induce more grounding, calm and reinforce the energy flow (chi) in your body.
The session will end in a yummy yoga nidra meditation with sound healing elements, to deepen the practice beyond the body into the subconscious mind, allowing a full reset to happen getting you ready for the weekend.
Gina (Yin Yoga/Yoga Nidra/Sound Healing/Sivananda Inspired Hatha)
Gina has stumbled upon all things Yoga and meditation in 2015, while googling methods to improve sleeping patterns, as she has the tendency to be quite a night owl, you know… Her practice made her build trust into the various processes of life, the low and the high rides, guiding her out of places of grief and a burn out. She has travelled extensively for the past 10 years, and let the practice shape her journeys around the world. She made it her mission to show in her teachings that it’s OK to slow down, it’s even necessary, in order to evolve and grow. She is a certified yoga teacher and merges her classes with yoga nidra, shamanic sound healing, tuning forks and yin yoga. Gina has been working in the CBD industry since 2017, founding the first plant medicine infused classes in Zurich two years later, sharing her deep knowledge about it with the aim to take away people’s potential fear about the plant, and encouraging an intuitive use of natural remedies for a deeper practice, pain management or anxiety relief. In 2021, Gina has expanded her studies by attending an additional advanced yoga nidra training and by going more in depth on the use of tuning forks.
