Yoga is for everyone, at any age, in any physical and mental condition. It is a practice for both the body and the mind. In a common understanding, yoga consists of a set of asanas, which are physical exercises and positions, as well as meditative practices, the pursuit of inner silence. We would like to combine these two wings of yoga – Hatha yoga and dance, along with meditation. In the Indian tradition, the goal of yoga is a state where all movements of the mind cease, inner silence, hence we meditate, sitting in silence. Yoga is based on relaxation, release, and observing thoughts and imagination. In addition to basic asanas, you will be able to learn simple breathing exercises – pranayama.

Cela and Martyna invite you to classes where you can learn simple self-improvement practices on both physical and mental levels, as well as exercises that can enhance the quality of your life. All you need is comfortable attire, your favorite pillow, and the willingness to meet others and discover yourself.
