My journey into Yoga began 10 years ago when I found it to be a vehicle to guide me through the physical and emotional challenges that came with moving around the world with a family. How I approached every single situation on my
mat, comfortable or not, was a practice of how to approach the ebbs and flows of my
own life. At the same time, Yoga brought joy,
Peace, growth at a personal and emotional level. Because of that I decided it was a call for me to share with as many humans as I could!
I took my 200Hrs Yoga Alliance
Ashtanga Certification, and since then I have enjoyed taking many workshops and
seminars in different styles and around the world, specially Vinyasa and Power Yoga
based.
I will always be a student first, but I have also
been loving guiding other students through
practice in Houston, Paris and now in Doha.

“Yoga is my body and soul's first aid kit - it relieves everything!"
and my biggest wish is that it becomes yours too!

Thematic Yin Yoga Workshop

Yin yoga offers a wealth of benefits that may help you to alleviate pain and tension, relieve stress and anxiety, and improve your overall well-being by focusing on the deep connective tissues like your fascia, ligaments, joints, and bones rather than focusing on muscles (unlike yang yoga practices).
Yin Yoga uses the Traditional Chinese Medicine Meridian Theory - which uses certain yoga poses to target specific meridian lines by creating tension or compression- to affect the associated organ and our organ health.

This 4-week Thematic Yin Yoga Workshop is designed to focus on specific target areas to stimulate associated meridians and practice certain areas such as; 
•Iliopsoas Release (The Muscle of the Spirit) / The Liver Meridian
•Hip Openers / The Gall Bladder Meridian
•Heart Openers / The Heart & Lung Meridians
•Thigh Opener (Hamstrings & Quadriceps) / The Urinary Bladder & Stomach- Spleen Meridian

This workshop is suitable for all practitioners of all levels.

Begins Sunday 5th June
2.30-4.00PM
150QAR per class
500QAR for 4 weeks

Rocket Vinyasa Master Class 🚀

“Why Rocket Yoga? Because it gets you there faster”. Words by the founder and creator of Rocket yoga, Larry Schultz.

In a Rocket yoga class, you can expect the traditional sequences that you will find in a Ashtanga class, like sun salutations, standing asanas, seated asanas, twists, and backbends, but with Rocket yoga the students are given the freedom to explore and modify the yoga asanas (postures), try some inversions and arm balances, or skip them if they are not your thing. A Rocket class is all about finding the breath, linking it with movement in a beautiful and harmonious way, and removing expectations about how things need to go in the class so you can observe the fluctuations of the mind. Pure yoga. And of course, the best part is plenty of laughter and fun times.

Join Maria and Aymara for this 150-minute special yoga class. You will experience the fire of Rocket, then gently flow like water into a relaxing Yoga Nidra, before finally sealing the deal with a sound healing session. Is there a better way to start your Friday morning?

Everyone is welcome to the class but previous experience of vinyasa or ashtanga yoga is recommended.

RELEASE • RESTORE • RELAX

Stress and its causes are particular to each of us as individuals. No one experiences life the same way, and no one feels the effects of stress exactly like another person does. Our reaction to stress can be as unique as the experience that created the stress in the first place. If we learn to respond to stress strategically, we can alter the impact it has on us.

While yoga on its own doesn’t cure all our stress-related problems, it can provide an essential toolbox of approaches to managing stress. And as we all probably agree, there are definite benefits to the feeling of belonging that a yoga class can provide.

In this 90-minute class, we will use physical movements (yoga asana), breath work, guided relaxation, and sound healing as tools to assist us in releasing, restoring, and relaxing our bodies, minds, and souls. We will seek some relief from the challenges that arise in our everyday lives, moving towards improvements to our overall mental health.
