What to do

Yoga classes with views of the sea

Yoga is an activity that connects the body, breathing, and the mind. It involves body postures, breathing exercises, and meditation for improving an individual’s holistic wellbeing. Yoga emerged as a spiritual practice thousands of years ago. Today, most western people do yoga as a weekly exercise and as a way of relieving stress. This age-old discipline involves a lifestyle that heals, cares for, and strengthens the body, mind, and soul through the practice of asanas, breathing, and relaxation.

So what are asanas?

Asanas are body postures or positions designed to strike a balance between mind and body. These postures call for concentration, spatial awareness, and enough suppleness to coordinate each skill and know which parts to activate and relax, as well as the control of breathing with each movement. Asanas have different levels of difficulty, ranging from the most straightforward (for beginners) to the most demanding (for advanced students).
