There will be two daily practices, a more physical one in the morning and in the afternoon we’ll focus more on  both mental and physical benefits. Physically, the breathing combined with the progressive series of postures detoxifies muscles and organs; sweat expels toxins, and re-energizes your body. Mentally, it relaxes your mind and helps to release any blockage of energy flow throughout your body. The result is improved circulation, a light and strong body, and a calm mind.

Have a look at a Yoga-session in casa del paso:

One of the recent popular Yoga methods Chandini is teaching is ‘Yin Yoga’. As the name implies, Yin yoga is a way to practice Yoga that is oriented toward the “yin” principle.

Yin as opposed to Yang addresses the deeper levels, the basic, the profound, in modern language what is “under the hood”.

Accordingly, the practice of Yin Yoga provides the tools to reach into the deepest layers of our body, working the bones and the deep tissues holding the skeleton and other structures together.

Yin Yoga practice means:
long holds of the posture, and relaxation of the muscles around the areas targeted by the asana. Both elements provide gentle, sustained tension or compressions on the deep tissues in a way appropriate to the quality and texture of the targeted fibers. Yin Yoga asanas generally work using gravity and leverages on the body while the practitioner consciously tries to relax the muscles, especially those around the targeted areas.

With the Art Therapy sessions you will work on inner Pictures, your self-esteem will improve, and your awareness will grow.

During your stay, you will also enjoy either one Nidra yoga session about your chakras  and deep meditative and peaceful state, clarity of mind, and intuition  on the last night of the stay you will have a finishing celebration with musik and a special dinner.

One afternoon in the week, depending on the weather, we will do an excursión on Compass Rose, a beautiful sailingboat and for the ones who do not like sailing they will go on an excursion to the nearby waterfalls.
