About Mandana’s classes approach and Topics

  •   Yoga Nidra ,

Also called the Yoga of sleep, rooted in Carl Jung’s active imagination theory , we will explore how contemplation can lead to various states of consciousness and change the way the nervous system respond to our thoughts.  No experience required

  • Alignment-based classes, inspired by Iyengar methodology

The genius behind Iyengar’s art is not only about the high level of precision but a fine quality to hold the space in order to experiment a slower pace of practice. More endurance and mental challenge will get ride of all the unnecessary mental disturbances, and emotional struggle. It is a 90 min course, the pose being held longer, that will test your patience a lot, some are passive, others active!

  • Vinyasa classes, inspired by Ashtanga and the primary series

More common, the poses are linked together in a more flowing pace with less space for exploration. The pace being faster, it requires to be with more focus and inner balance, since the poses are more challenging in the form itself. Because of the fast-paced quality of this practice, it is stimulating a lot the blood circulation, the students will find them-selves very grounded and vitalized if done properly.

  • Prenatal Yoga classes, Private classes

Strictly based on Geeta Iyengar methodology and Lois Steinberg work research, Mandana will teach at a slower pace yoga class using the intelligence of props as a guide for better and safe alignment. You can join here prenatal classes anytime during your pregnancy.

  • Ashtanga break-down practice

When Iyengar meets Ashtanga! It is probably the best way to learn the primary series within an alignment setting. Very rarely we got the chance to add alignments and adjustments during an Ashtanga practice. This is the opportunity to learn differently with sensitive-mind perspective.
