Tantra Yoga
Tantra Yoga is an energetic practice that focuses on purifying the chakras and the body's energy channels (nadis), combining physical, energetic and meditative work. Through movement, breath and presence we move energy and strengthen the life force (prana).
The practice aims to clear the energy channels and the chakras and to awaken the Kundalini energy, the energy of life. It supports a deeper connection to the body and the breath, and cultivates stability and clarity even amid the challenges of everyday life.
A Tantra Yoga class combines flowing movement, breathwork (pranayama), work with the chakras and meditation, and usually ends with deep relaxation. The pace lets you slow down, listen to the body and practice with presence, so the class suits both beginners and experienced practitioners.
At Naim the class is led by Maya Katz, a teacher of Tantra Yoga and Yoga Therapy who integrates tools from yoga therapy, trauma-sensitive yoga and women's yoga. The class invites you to slow down, listen inward, and let the body's wisdom lead the way.
