AKTA Authenticity!

Rue de l’Avenir 16, Geneva
Thursdays from 18:15 to 19:30

AKTA is a center in Geneva, which offers holistic activities for body and mind. It is with great joy that I inform you of my new classes starting Thursday, February 2, 2023, in the new premises of AKTA.

As you surely know, my teaching combines several lineages and influences, my experience and my understanding of the body and its needs. As my experience grows, I am increasingly drawn to the therapeutic use of Hatha Yoga.

Currently, I am studying the science of bio-tensegrity, fascia and movement in yoga, taught by Tom Myers. Based on this knowledge, my classes consist of a mixture of yoga postures, bouncing movements and pendulum/swing movements. In my classes, which I call Yoga Fascial, we have a lot of fun while working hard.

Come and practice yoga in this new, beautiful and bright space!

Yoga practices

From vigorous Ashtanga, to calming Hatha, to joyful Strala and to therapeutical yoga –
yoga is not only a physical practice but a lifestyle that encompasses living in a better and more harmonious way.

Ashtanga

Ashtanga yoga is an energetic, even athletic style, which increases strength and flexibility throughout the body. Great emphasis is placed on vigorous breathing, Ujjayi breath, holding each posture for a given number of breaths and a directed eye gaze. The postures are then linked by vinyasas, a movement that takes one from one posture to the next one. I have been practicing Ashtanga yoga since 2008.

Hatha

The word Yoga, from the Sanskrit root yuj, means union or communion. The science of Yoga belongs to the ancient systems of Indian philosophy. Its ultimate goal is the union of our intention with the mechanics of the Universe.

In the word Hatha Yoga, “Ha”, means the sun and “tha”, the moon. The union of this two opposites is Hatha yoga. The purpose of this practice is to balance the flow of solar and lunar energy in the human system.

Strala

Life, time, the universe, are in constant movement and impermanence is the very essence of existence. Strala yoga, is rooted in this notion, with its motto: Freedom – Space – Ease – Flow

Unlike the more static nature of Hatha yoga where one holds the asanas for a certain number of breaths,here one keeps moving from one stance to the next, carried by the endless flow of the breath of life. The goal is to build strength in a relaxed and calm manner, to explore one’s limits of range of motion, to fall and stand up again, to feel joy, to have fun.

The different sequences: Energize, Relax, Basics, Core and Gentle, bring along diverse benefits, either energizing, relieving tensions and unwinding from everyday stress.

Yoga vs. Osteoporosis

In my quest to extend my knowledge and practice, I became a certified therapist of Yoga vs. Osteoporosis following the method of the renowned Dr. Loren Fishman, in February 2017. This method consists of 12 yoga poses that actually build bone in healthy people as well as those with osteopenia or osteoporosis.

Hence, I offer a 6-week course and/or regular classes of Yoga vs. Osteoporosis. Considering the sedentary lives we lead, this course is ideal for the aging baby boomers.
