 Yoga and Permaculture 

Yoga is a physical, mental, and spiritual practice or discipline mainly originated in India over 5000 years ago. With the practice of Yoga, one starts to harmonize the body with the mind and breath through various breathing techniques, yoga postures (asanas) and meditation. Once one is in harmony within, the journey through life becomes calmer and more fulfilled. The regular practice of Yoga brings remarkable lifestyle changes in the practitioners, reporting a balanced, happier living with reduced anxiety, increased tolerance and mindfulness. Yoga works for everyone, from people engaged in desk jobs, to sport professionals, to people looking for stress release or wishing to connect and balance body and mind. Yoga means to unite and helps you to get better health and greater sense of happiness. With Yoga and Permaculture design we offer the chance to cultivate body awareness, while being in nature. We combine the chance of learning about Permaculture, with Yoga that will support a healthy posture. Each time we organize the Agro Yoga - Permaculture mornings we offer a PDC theme with theory and practice. You will find the dates on our calendar and social media. www.littleboomland.com

Yoga and Permaculture 

Ashtanga Yoga is a dynamic and energetic practice. Based on the Primary series of traditional yoga, popularized by K. Pattabhi Jois. By practicing Ashtanga yoga we strengthen a healthy body and mindset. Through an internal cleaning process, we purify our nervous system and organs. Supportive hands-on or vocal adjustments and modifications are offered during the practice, to build up slowly. The Tuesday classes are for experienced practitioners. The Thursday class is accessible for all levels of experience. After a few sessions we already notice the benefits from this pure and holistic practice. We offer you half- up to full Primary Led classes on Tuesday and half primary classes on Thursdays. During Full and New moon we practice the Chandra moon sequence and meditation. It is possible to combine Ashtanga with Yin yoga classes. This combination provides a beautiful balance, therefore we recommend both practices. The practice is guided in English and can partly be in Portuguese. For more information, contact Francisca. Please be aware to reserve a space in advance.
