Yoga classes & styles



There are different approaches to yoga: dynamic yoga called "Yang" which includes Hatha yoga, Vinyasa-Flow yoga or Ashtanga yoga. And a softer form of yoga called "Yin" with Yin yoga, Nidra yoga, Restorative yoga,... Yin and yang yoga are complementary. In a balanced practice, the two styles are alternated to enjoy all the benefits of yoga.

In her yoga teaching career, Laurence has specialised in Yin yoga forms. She is also certified in Myofascial Self-Massage, a technique that involves deep stretching and fascial massage. Below is a description of these styles of yoga so that you can discover which one is best for you. They are offered by Laurence in the form of private classes, group classes or yoga workshops in different locations in Geneva, Switzerland. Yoga retreats are also occasionally organised in Switzerland or abroad.

Whether you are a beginner or an experienced practitioner, whatever your physical condition, the benefits of yoga are many and everyone will find their own personal path. So don't hesitate to contact us for an introduction to yoga with Laurence, a qualified teacher.
