omkarayoga.ch - Yoga Classes

Yoga Classes for everybody (young, older, stiff, flexible, bigger or smaller.... )

Tribal Yoga is about being body positiv, enjoying and knowing your body just as it is.
Each class will begin with a short introduction and welcome followed by a group tuning in using the Mantra AUM. We then activate our organs and prepare our bodies and our mind for the asana practice through some sets of Sun Salutations and breathing exercises where we internalize our focus, come home to our body.

We provide a safe environment for everybody to experience a yoga asana practise and build a deeper connection with our bodies.

Tribal Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga Mysore Style

This class is aimed at students who want a strong physical workout and is divided into 2 parts. To offer maximum benefit to the student incorporates traditional knowledge of yoga and therapeutic aspects of yoga.

The first half hour is intended to help students warm up by using Mysore style Sun Salutations A and B.
The second part of the class constists of a series of positions to offer a whole workout of the body.

It starts with standing asanas, followed by sitting asanas, backbends and inversions.
The class ends with a relaxation and chanting.

Tribal Hatha Yoga Sivananda Style

This class is suitable for beginners through advanced students. It offers maximum traditional knowledge and integrates therapeutic values. This class consists of 3 parts. The first part of the class is considered to be the yogic warm up and synchronisation of breath and movement to increase stamina. This is achived by numerous repetitions of traditional Sun- and Moon Salutations.

The second part aims to increase flexibility through stretching and aid in muscle toning and development. This is accomplished through a series of arm and leg raises, movements involving twisting, chest and shoulder opening movement, pelvic opening stretches and finally exercises to increase flexibility of the spine.

The third part of the class consists of the Sivananda series of positions to achieve maximum benefit of the yoga asanas.
The class ends with a relaxation and chanting.

A steadfast Hatha practice can be the invitation to refresh our souls and connect our physical lives with breath, mind and body.

Tribal Yin Yoga

Yin yoga comes from the Taoist tradition and focuses on passive, seated postures that target the connective tissues in the hips, pelvis and lower spine and it's also suitable for folks who want to loosen up.

We start the class with slow stretches of the spine and go on with gentle stretches in seated and lying positions.
We hold the poses for anywhere between one and three minutes. The aim is to increase flexibility and encourage a feeling of release and letting go. It is a wonderful way to learn the basics of meditation and stilling the mind. As such, it is ideal for athletic types who need to release tension in overworked joints, and it is also good for those who need to relax.

The class ends with a relaxation and chanting.

General:
We practise barefoot in comfortable clothing that allows for the full range of movement (including going upside down i.e. downward facing dog pose). Please bring a towel or your own yoga mat (hygienic reasons). For Yin Yoga classes bring some clothes who keep you warm and comfortable.
It is not advised to eat anything heavy before Yoga practice as we will be doing twists and inversions, but light snacks such as fruit, dried fruit and nuts, smoothies or yoghurt are fine.

Create a union between body, breath and mind and connet to your inner self.
