BLOOM FROM WITHIN
Yoga means returning to yourself. You learn your limits, you expand your horizons, you can really relax by being yourself. You find the time to remember who you are, something you forget when you are carried away by the whirlpool of daily intense life.
2500 years ago a writer named Patanjali wrote the Yoga-sutra, the first book on yoga. Describe yoga as chitta - vrtti - nirohdah, which means it stops the wandering of the mind. “Yoga calms the spirit ", he is the most common definition, as formulated by the excellent teacher TKV Desikachar: the purpose of yoga is to direct the mind exclusively to an object and to maintain that direction without distractions.
The name yoga comes from the Sanskrit word yuj, which translates as "unite, unify, connect". All these associations imply the reintegration into a whole, the achievement of a state of harmony.
However, peace of mind is not a tangible goal. In contrast, progress in pursuing a posture in yoga is measurable, either as an alignment, as an opening of the stretch, or as a length of stay in the posture. It is much easier to try something tangible - physical and then move on to something intangible, peace of mind. In the practice of yoga you start with something known and move towards the unknown, using the body and the breath. With the postures and the breath you open the body and the mind, and thus you become receptive to the wonderful experience of inner peace.
For this reason, we also called the dynamic version of yoga that we teach "bloom from within", in order to "bloom" the mind through the practice of the body!
AERIAL YOGA FOUNDATION
Aerial yin somatics is a practise that is all about slowing down and opening your body through passive streching.
One hardly moves at all, doing a handful of postures in the course of an hour.

AERIAL YOGA

REFORMER PILATES
The reformer (Pilates bed), is the most famous Pilates machine, designed by Joseph Pilates to apply his method.
It consists of a frame like a bed, on which there is a movable platform, which is connected to the frame by resistors. The choices in the use of resistors (light, medium, heavy), vary the level of difficulty of the exercises and require a different effort from the student.
The reformer also includes the footbar at the bottom of the frame and 2 long straps with loops, in which the legs or arms are placed (depending on the exercise).
There are more than 200 exercises that designed for the reformer.
