Yoga & sailing

Yoga sailing weeks.

We love yoga. We are not teachers, but anyone who likes it is welcome to join in on the mornings that we get up early to practise some yoga, t’ai chi or qi gong. Sometimes we invite a yoga teacher to join the flotilla who will give lessons during the whole week. The idea is to do a morning (before the briefing) and evening (before dinner) session on the beach or another convenient spot.

 

Yogalessons

Twice a day there will be a session of 1 hour. They are suitable for beginners and for more experienced yogi’s. In the morning it will be hathayoga, active movements in combination with breathing. In the afternoon it will be yinyoga where you will learn to hold the positions longer. This form of yoga is more relaxing and  good for your connective tissue.

For whom?

Everybody who likes yoga or wants to be introduced to yoga is welcome. You don’t need to be flexibel, thin or in an excellent condition. The exercises are convenient for every body. Also the more experienced yogi’s will enjoy it.
