The first thing to comprehend is that Yoga is NOT a religion: its origins are millennial and by the time this discipline has been evolving through thousands aspects.
With Yoga practice we refers in a large way to various Modern Yoga Styles.
But here we don’t refers to “do Yoga” but “living yoga”, since this is a very deep discipline and philosophy that embraces more existence fields.
Every Yoga styles aim to Union - this is the more intrinsic meaning of the word - , that Union forgot between Us and the Entire Universe; it aims to free the individual from its and its purpose is an ongoing process.

The primary aspect practicing yoga is to keep our attention and awareness to our breath, a natural act that we often don’t focus to, reducing its “vital life force” merely to a repetitive, automatic and superficial act. Being the master of our breath means to stop our mental swings and return to be the master of our mind. The attention and care of our breathing is therefore the first step to release tension and get a higher state of consciousness. Through a constant Yoga practice, studying its philosophy too, we will face a neverending and unparalleled journey: that one inside ourselves. A journey that brings positive changement in our life and that will reflect that infinite Light for which we strive.
From a physically pont of view, it’s essential to be guided by a certified Yoga instructor to avoid any injury caused by incorrect positions.

#YOGASTYLES

Different types of yoga practiced at NatureFitFlorence ASD, Florence

YIN YOGA

It’s the Taoist version of Yoga. Founded by Paulie Zinkie, this style of yoga comes from the need of a more static and passive practice, most of the time ground practicing. Asanas are held from 1 to 5 minutes with a whole passive stretching and always focusing on breathing phases. This let our bodymind to slowly, constantly and gradually release tension, deeply working on the myofascia tissue, a tissue that covers our overall muscle system that is essential to our ability to move and it’s very important to our overall health.

ASHTANGA VINYASA YOGA

This is a branch of Yoga very strong, regenerating, invigorating and dynamic. Widespread to the West and developed by Patthabi Jois is a yoga style that stands out for its dynamism, rebalancing the whole subtle energies. There are six increase in difficulty series. We will practice the Primary Series focusing on breath (ujjayi pranayama), gaze direction (drishti), self-concentration and our ability to amplify our internal energies (bandha). It’s a wonderful practice that steadily center ourself along with toning and improve our flexibility at 360°.

VINYASA “FLOW” YOGA

When we face the word “vinyasa” that means “a specific movement in a determined direction” always combined with breath. “Vinyasa Flow Yoga” are therefore a sequences of asanas that gently flows one to another with centering breath. It’s a dynamic and intense standing practice followed by grounded asanas and Pranayama Techniques..

HATHA YOGA

Yoga passed through oral tradition, therefore the firsts writings that specifically and systematically speaks about Hatha Yoga came from Middle Age. However, we know that Yoga is a millennial discipline (Yoga Sutra dated back to about 300 B.C.E.). In Hatha Yoga practice we will focus (like all different styles of Yoga) on breath and on static position, correct alignments and posture. It’s so important to find our inner (and outer) balance, tonifying our body, center our mind and find, with constant practice, more advanced asanas.

PRENATAL-POSTNATAL YOGA

Pregnancy brings one of the most fulfilled and intense process of life. There are no contraindication to the Yoga practice or other activities (but all excessive strain or repetitive jumps need to be avoided though). With proper accessory and care indeed, particularly from 3rd trimester, we will stronger and make more flexible our Pelvic Floor Muscles, supporting our bodymind with Pranayama Techniques. Likewise, after pregnancy we’d need to reaccustomed our body to have proper tone, especially our Pelvic Floor Muscles and Abdominal wall that often requires a careful recovery due to Diastasis Rectis. Meeting other women is then a crucial source of confrontation in this sacred and delicate part of our life.
