Yoga styles
During the tour, you will stay in lodges and guesthouses.
This yoga trek offers the incredible opportunity to practice one of the most healing arts of Asia: yoga. This wonderful holiday includes a daily yoga class, pranayama (breathing exercises), and meditation. The experienced teacher will guide you through Hatha yoga style to help you recover the most from the walking and let your energy flow in your body for a spiritual connection as well. A daily yoga practice can prevent and heal many diseases, body- and mind-related. To be able to practice in a pure environment in the Himalayas is a great opportunity to reconnect yourself and grow spiritually.
Yoga asanas
Asanas are postures made to clean the body of all the toxins and to release any physical blockages that prevent your energy from flowing freely in the body. The more blockages you have, the more tension you create.
Pranayama
This concerns breathing techniques. The purpose of pranayama is to unblock emotional nodes. When you accumulate stress, anxiety, and other mental pain, you create emotional blockages inside the body, which means that your energy cannot flow freely, and it increases the suffering. Pranayama helps to remove those blockages.
Meditation
This is the ultimate practice of yoga. Through meditation, you enable the mind to come back to a state of peace, a state of silence. You create some space in the mind in order to be able to face life with more perspective, and so less anxiety and anger. Meditation brings people back to themselves, to who they really are, and this brings a fresh meaning to life, a peaceful one.
