Our school offers Hatha Yoga, Vinyasa Yoga and Naad Yoga styles.

Hatha yoga is ideal for those new to yoga. In Hatha there is a greater focus on the correct alignment of the various postures that are held for several breaths. Hatha yoga allows one to learn basic postures, which while simple bring numerous benefits to the body. Hatha yoga is beneficial against stress and tension, allows for increased concentration, lengthening the breath and achieving greater relaxation of the body and mind.

Vinyasa yoga is characterized by more dynamism, energy and fluidity of movement.

Each posture is specifically connected by breathing, and the transition between postures is a fundamental part of the practice. Vinyasa yoga improves balance and posture and brings benefits to muscles and joints. By also working on the breath, it also allows for greater stamina and releases great physical energy.

Naad Yoga is the yoga of sound. In Naad Yoga, the focus is on using sound, particularly through the practice of music, to explore and experience the divine essence within oneself and in the world. It involves the conscious use of sound, including vocal techniques, musical instruments, and rhythmic patterns, to create a harmonious balance and alignment of the body, mind, and spirit.

The practice of Naad Yoga incorporates elements from various disciplines, including music, meditation, mantra chanting, and breath control. It aims to awaken the inner self, expand consciousness, and promote self-realization. By engaging in the practice of Naad Yoga, individuals seek to attain a state of unity with the divine and tap into the transformative power of sound vibrations.

Any age from 18 to 70. We know how to adapt the practice to each person and the different personal needs and capacity.

If you can’t attend the course for any reason, the 50% of the full course’s price will be strictly non-refundable. However, you can transfer the remaining amount to any other course of Ravi Marga Yoga within 3 year of the original course date, informing us 6 weeks in advance, so you will use the same initial amount to another of our courses in different dates.
