Soana Yoga
"The primary aim of yoga is to restore the mind to simplicity and peace, to free it from confusion and distress. This sense of calm comes from the practice of yogic asanas and pranayamas. Unlike other forms of exercise which strain muscles and bones, yoga frees the mind from the negative feelings caused by the fast pace of modern life. The practice of yoga fills up the reservoirs of hope and optimism within you. It helps you to overcome all obstacles on the path to perfect health and spiritual contentment" B.K.S. Iyengar
Soana Yoga aspires to bridge ancient wisdom such as Yoga and Ayurveda with the modern world to heal it.
Soana Yoga's project started in Paris, France as a non-profit organization in 2018. Soana Yoga expanded in British Columbia, Canada in 2021. Soana Yoga is growing again back in France.
In Soana Yoga, we practice Hatha Yoga with a focus on breathing techniques "pranayamas" during the physical yoga poses "asanas" to easily reach a meditative state. This practice increases the vital force energy "prana" and facilitates its flowing into every cell of the body while detoxing and liberating some of your deep blockages.
In Soana Yoga, we also teach Ayurveda - " The Science of Life" in Sanskrit. This 5,000-year-old system of holistic natural healing originated in India's ancient Vedic culture. Ayurveda is a complete medical system that includes observation; diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease; detoxification and rejuvenation of the body; surgery; and herbal medicine. In Ayurveda, balance is the natural order; imbalance is disorder. Health is order; disease is disorder. Ayurveda encourages the maintenance of health through close attention to balance in our life: the right lifestyle, routine, diet, thinking according to our unique personal pattern of energy or constitution. In Ayurveda, treatment modalities are natural and personalized with the use of specific herbs & spices, massages, and yoga practice (poses, breathing techniques, meditation).
