Will we meditate during the classes?
„Asana is meditation in
action.“ (BKS Iyengar). When
we practise yoga asanas your mind is alert, active and focussed on the actions
of the postures and on the breathing. Practising the postures is meditation in
itself. Usually there is a 5 – 10 minute relaxation period at the end of the
class.
I have my period. Can I do yoga?
You can do almost all asanas apart from upside-down positions. Advise the teacher before the class if you have your period.
I have chronic backache. Can I do yoga?
Yes, unless your doctor tells you not to. Everyone works according to their own abilities. There are special positions that help to strengthen the back and the muscles. It is important to inform the teacher before the lesson if you have back problems.
