Contrary to the popular belief, Yoga is not always static.
The workout is based on corporal sequences which are dynamic and of energetic intensity. The positions provide strength, flexibility, self-control and relaxation in order to avoid pain and physical problems. A great precision is needed and sought in terms of one’s personal necessities.
The reeducation of the muscular chains, a revitalization and energetic rebalance develop our conscience, unifying the body and the soul to open ourselves to a more extended spiritual dimension.
The corporal and spiritual harmony can be achieved through a better adjustment in static and steady positions connected to the natural breathing.

Most of the positions are practiced on the floor and are carried out between 3 or 15 minutes. The motionlessness is a truly challenge in this practice, where having one’s presence and patience are learnt.
Yin Yang Yoga
The Taoist Yoga is the combination of passive (yin) and vigorous (yang) yoga practices.
It combines two yoga styles in one practice: it meets the benefits of the asana practice from the more dynamic way to the most passive, ending up the practice with an “awake dream.”
This practice is designed in order to complement (instead of replacing) Yin and Yang practices.
Ashtanga Yoga
Based on the teaching of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois de Mysore, in the south of India, it is focused on the energy bonds of the linked positions by the breathing, the improvement of the blood circulation and the generation of the inner heat that help to eliminate toxins in the muscles and organs to purify them. In this vigorous practice, the fundamental energy awakes and leaves your mind to go to a natural form of meditation.
Yoga Nidra

Rocket Yoga
Rocket yoga is a type of yoga created by the American Larry Schultz in the 1980s in the city of San Francisco. He was a student of K. Pattabhi Jois, creator of ashtanga yoga; As a yoga practitioner, teacher and student of Ashtanga, he realized that his philosophy of life was not in tune with the more classic Ashtanga created by Sri. K Pattabhi Jois nor the Mysore technique. Larry Schultz believed that students should try all the poses in the Ashtanga series, even the most advanced ones, instead of following their traditional pattern where they are not allowed to practice the asanas in one series until they have completed the previous series. Therefore, he incorporated some asanas into the traditional ashtanga series and became known as “The Bad Boy of Ashtanga”.
