Institut Yoga Essentiel offers multi-level alignment based yoga classes to students of all ages and levels of physical ability; certified teacher training programs, and international yoga retreats led by Josephine Vittoria. The classes are presented thematically on a weekly basis, designed to take you through a learning process that explores asana, pranayama and restorative practices; a thorough practice that allows us a deeper insight into our body. The teachings are inspired by the Iyengar method where fundamental postures are taught with attention to alignment and detail, and are catered to each individual's needs and physical abilities. The students will develop strength, endurance and flexibility, in addition to learning the art of relaxation. The goal is for the student to cultivate self-awareness and obtain a solid base of both practice and understanding of yoga. The classes are suitable for all except people with serious medical conditions who may otherwise consider beginning with private yoga sessions. We are now offering livestream online classes, allowing us to keep practicing and stay connected as a community during these times of distancing. At the moment, in-person classes remain suspended.
