Mindful movement and body awareness are essential parts of this practice. When one becomes aware of their limits and blocks, it can help to relax the tension and observe which movements feel good and right, and which do not. For advanced practitioners, it can be experienced as a moving meditation.

Pranayama, or breath control

Pranayama plays a crucial role in Longevity yoga. It involves observing and incorporating the breath into every posture and movement. However, many individuals have incorrect breathing patterns, often stemming from obstructions in the diaphragm movements and related breathing muscles.

A significant portion of our practice is dedicated to cultivating diaphragmatic breathing, as a start of any Pranyama practice. The modern lifestyle promotes the habit of contracting the abdomen, leading to stiffness in the abdominal muscles and ribcage, hindering deep breathing. Through our sessions, we aim to release these blockages and enhance breathing efficiency.

Relaxation

The most crucial part of the class is the relaxation at the end, as it helps to calm the mind and induce deep relaxation. By mindfully exploring within the body and consciously releasing tension, we develop the valuable skill of relaxing our bodies at will. It is common for people to fall asleep while still holding onto tension, waking up without feeling truly relaxed. Through mastering the art of relaxing both body and mind, we can effectively address chronic tension, alleviate inflammation, and sharpen our focus on important matters.

Various methods and visualizations can be employed during the relaxation phase to enhance the experience of deep relaxation.

Healthy Diet and Life Style

Every participant will have the chance to receive a personalized lifestyle and healthy diet plan tailored to their body type and temperament. The ability to adhere to the plan remains uncertain. However, within a supportive community of individuals with similar goals and under the guidance of a motivating instructor, individuals may find themselves more inclined to adopt healthier eating habits and make lifestyle changes.
