Every muscle has its antagonist, i.e. a muscle that works with the opposite force. This mechanism is what allows precise movement. If both groups of muscles are in proportion and balanced, we can say there is economy of movement. However, if one group is stronger, you run the risk of reducing your performance, and even of developing faulty posture. By introducing just one unit of stretch & relax into your weekly routine, you can even out and align any muscle imbalances.

During the training session we use the appropriate asanas for you that are often held for a longer time in order to stretch and unlock the body. We also use a range of aids such as yoga blocks, strips, blankets etc to enable the muscles to fully relax and allow the asanas to reach the deeper layers of the body. The positions are done this way so as to move the spine in every direction, reversing the daily effect of gravity on the body.
