Yoga Therapy is suitable for both beginners and advanced practitioners of yoga. Yoga therapy courses at Akasha are taught by Lucie Königová. In her classes Lucie explores the main principles of mindful movement and breathing. The aim is to develop strength, flexibility and stability in and through yoga poses and simple sequences. Leading students to greater awareness and promoting self-inquiry, the class cultivates ease in the body and the mind. Therapeutic Yoga focuses on the fundamentals of structural alignment to promote healthy functioning of the body systems, particularly the spine, large joints, the core and deep, postural muscles. In this class, students will be guided to learn healthy movement and breathing patterns and unlearn the ones that do them disservice - both on and off the yoga mat. The classes also include suggestions for personalized home practice, basic Ayurvedic recommendations, pranayama (breathing practices) and meditation.
Yoga therapy at Akasha is taught in closed groups (currently Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday evenings).
