Padmasana or Lotus Pose is the archetypal yoga pose and can be seen as a symbol for the unfolding process of yoga itself.
Like no other asana, it gives a deep sense of calmness, rootedness and stability. It naturally brings the spine and chakras in effortless alignment, reverses the downward flow of energy and opens the heart – facilitating a state of inner silence. Ideal for the practice of pranayama and meditation, it can also be combined with other postures in the advanced asana practice.

In this 10-week course, we will focus on building flexibility but also strength and stability in the ankle, knee, and hip joints, starting with basic practices and progressing towards more challenging ones.
Padmasana is an advanced pose and should be practiced carefully to avoid injuries. The classes will include some theoretical content that will help to highlight the elements of risk and keep the practice safe. The course is not suited for yogis with knee problems.

Amanda has been practicing yoga since her childhood, growing up as she did with two yoga teachers for her parents. As a teacher, she has been trained by her father, the founder of the Pranayoga Method, a practice of teaching developed with respect of the tradition of Hatha Yoga which aims to improve the flux and purification of Prana. Over the years, various additional courses have supported her in the exploration of the theoretical aspects of the practice.
