Yoga

During the summer months, yoga classes are held on Sunday mornings on the beach right in front of the Hotel Barcarola.
Yoga is a valuable investment in yourself, where movement and relaxation combine to foster inner peace. It helps you live in the moment, the NOW, using breath as a powerful tool to anchor your attention in the present. Often our mind wanders in different directions, but during yoga, you fully concentrate on the exercise you are performing. By consciously directing your attention to your breath, you remain in the present, resulting in a calm mind.

Yoga brings balance to your life by strengthening the collaboration between body, breath, and awareness. By connecting these three elements, harmony is created between tension and relaxation. Focused attention on the breath provides mental calm and helps you get closer to yourself. Additionally, yoga postures strengthen the spine, improve muscle strength, blood circulation, and promote the functioning of organs and energy centers.

The word "yoga" literally means "union." This not only refers to the physical connection, but also to spiritual deepening and harmonization with yourself. Yoga involves living and experiencing this connection.

The balance that yoga seeks is reflected in the harmonization of opposites, such as:

• Female / male

• Movement / stillness

• Inhalation / exhalation

• Tension / relaxation

Yoga not only improves concentration and stress resilience, but also vitality and overall physical and mental well-being. It is a path to a healthier and more harmonious life.
