In this series, we practice Prana Yoga Flow. Prana Yoga Flow is quite an energetic (yang) kind of yoga, which aims at creating a solid and strong base and core of the body, freedom for the shoulders and the heart-area, and stillness and clarity in the head. This kind of yoga is ideal for those who want to move in a healthy and conscious way and who also wish to cultivate strength and stamina. Prana Yoga Flow has a heating, activating effect, yet in this lunch time class we strive for a good balance between effort and relaxation, to recharge our batteries for the afternoon.
Main language for this class is Dutch, but occasional translations into English are possible. Come and practice yoga at lunch time and improve your knowledge of Dutch at the same time!
The duration of this Thursday’s class is 60 minutes.

Yoga practical
Do arrive in time for your class, five or ten minutes early so as to respect the class and the concentration of your fellow students.
Dress code:
Wear some loose, pleasant feeling clothing without constraints. Bring a sweater to keep you warm during relaxation.
Yoga mats:
In all class rooms yoga mats are present. You can also bring your own yoga mat. Here’s some advice for those who would buy their own yoga mat. Do not save money on quality or sustainability of your mat. Cheap yoga mats wear out very, very quickly and will need to be rapidly replaced.
The most important characteristic of a yoga mat are its anti-skid properties, so you get a good grip and you will not slide or fall during practice.
A yoga mat of acceptable quality will cost around 20 euros. In my experience, the best yoga mats are the ones from Manduka, they cost about 85 euros. In between these two examples there is a wide choice, with luckily more and more manufacturers who produce their mats in a sustainable way.
Bath towel:
It is a good idea to bring a towel to the class. Good to absorb the sweat, if any. And folded, it will give you a handy support in some of the yoga postures.
Medical conditions:
Always inform the teacher when you have a medical condition that necessitates extra prudence, or when you are hurt or are recovering from hurting yourself. With conditions such as a high blood pressure or glaucoma you better avoid the inverted postures.
Pregnancy and periods will give you temporary limitations. We do our best to guarantee your safety. But please consider that you yourself are responsible for your well being and that you are the guardian of your own physical limits.
Handies and smart phones will be switched off at the beginning of the class.
Food:
Avoid eating within two hours before the start of the class.
Drinking:
It is very important t drink sufficient water after the class, because yoga practice has a detoxifying effect. However, avoid drinking during the class.
