YOGA
Take a deep breath in and out! Allow yourself to stop, feel and be in the moment. Every Tuesday at 12:00 I invite you to experience. Experience yourself through correct breathing, yoga practice and perfect relaxation. During the classes we will learn the basic yoga asanas, breathing techniques, meditation and experience perfect relaxation (shavasana). This vigorous yoga practice will awaken and warm up the body, calm the mind and give strength both physically and mentally. The true practice of yoga begins when you step off the yoga mat, when it allows you to hear and feel yourself and enjoy the present moment.

Her interest and experience of the benefits of becoming a yoga teacher was overwhelming.

A brief introduction to pickleball. Pickleball is a fast growing paddle sport that combines elements of tennis, badminton and table tennis. The game is fast-paced, easy to learn and extremely fun to play due to the long tosses that take place during the game. Pickelball is usually played as a doubles match. Singles matches are also very popular and interesting for players looking for a bigger challenge.
