Samana is the belly area where life power lays according to yogi. It is the center from which we best move. Using breath and moving from samana, center of energy, is moving in harmony. Sanne, a Intenational registered vijnana teacher, named the yoga center Samana being central to yoga practice.
For you
Samana yoga classes are for everyone. You don’t need to be supple to do yoga. The teachers wil guide you into postures and will slowly help you get to more advanced practice. Suppleness comes in itself with practice and developes with ease of mind. That’s why our classes also take time for meditation, breathing exersises and krya’s (cleansing).
At Samana you practice assana’s (postures) with precision to avoid injuries. This way your insight in muscles, bones, in short: your body will increase. Teachers coach you while taking into account your personal strengh and weak points. We like to see our students grow and get stronger. At Samana people from 16 till 70 years of age are practicing every week.
