Latest yoga sessions at Taj Omayma

Each of those core joints, articulations and muscle groups are worked intensively through carefully sequenced flows. The aim is to achieve spontaneous release of core blockages in a structured format. To work in a progressive manner to build a foundation for a strong integral practice. Focus is placed on structural alignment and posture precision, as well as breath mindfulness while threading poses together.
