Ô Lotus offers group, private, and semi-private yoga classes for people of all ages and levels of experience. In a style that is both dynamic and fluid, the classes explore a wide range of postures, including variations to suit students of all levels. Each class begins with a short period of centering and breathing to synchronize body and mind. We continue with a warm-up and a flowing sequence of postures before ending with a final deep relaxation. The classes explore a range of themes and aspects of practice, including grounding, opening the heart, finding our limit, and how to practice with gentleness toward ourselves.

Yoga

Therapy

At Ô Lotus, the therapeutic approach is rooted in
traditional Indian medicine, Ayurveda. The term Ayurveda is made up of two sanskrit words: ayur (life) and veda (knowledge). This science of life serves as a guide for the maintenance of physical and mental well-being. Through this approach, based on the 5 natural elements, the practitioner is better able to respond to each person, according to their individual constitution. The client is guided in a holistic approach that combines massage, yoga postures, nutrition, lifestyle recommendations, all based on the specific needs of the individual, according to their ayurvedic constitution. This approach can be beneficial for the following conditions: chronic pain (back, shoulders, neck, legs, hips) headaches depression, anxiety, stress, burnout We also offer a variety of restorative yoga sessions, in which the client rests in various yoga postures, while supported by cushions, blankets and bolsters, providing powerful therapeutic effects and deep relaxation. Like all Ô Lotus services, our therapeutic approach is based on the principles of gentleness and compassion.
