A neuroscientist-guided fun yoga class with dance and vocal-sound meditation for children to achieve peak performance in daily life

Van 15.97 € /h

An engineer-neuroscientist from McGill University, experienced in yoga, meditation and Indian classical dance; teaches fun yoga with dance and nada (vocal sound) meditation; provides free tips on brain science for focus and concentration.

As a computer science engineer (postgraduated from one of the prestigious Indian Institute of Technolgoy in India) turned neuroscientist (PhD from McGill University) with extensive experience in science, maths, technology, research, physical and mental health, my goal is to infuse the findings of research to the young minds at an early age. These findings relate to maintaining the health while working towards achieving best performance in academia, sports, or any other activities. For some students, maths may be an enemy and literature is a friend, for others,it may be different. For some, memorization task may be difficult while others may adopt "contextual strategy" to learn fast. But little do we know and/or consider in our daily lives how to train our brain and mind to enhance memory without peer/parental/school/ etc... pressure on children. This is where I come in. I help children to use their weaknesses to develop a growth mindset.

-Teaching methods: customized according to student's needs, ability to comprehend, and study-level

-Typical plan: warmup exercise, hatha-yoga asanas, fun yoga-dance, meditation (breathing, concentration, sound). Once in a while, steps from Indian classical dance and music and memory games to improve memory and prevent boredom.
-Why me?- As a neuroscientist, I use neuroscience research findings to teach and practice with fun; i provide free theoretical knowledge too. I practice these lessons for my own benefit too.
Lessons for: school children grades 4 to 10 (the earlier a child starts these practices, the better they are)

I overcame stage fear by learning how to breathe optimally, how to prepare psychologically and through basic yoga exercises (I have been practicing for 30 years).

In 1998, I started giving classes in Bucharest and replacing and supporting the Integral Yoga classes of Dr. Indrasenji, Yogacharya of Vivekananda Kendra, India.

I will prepare concrete exercises for you according to your current needs.

You can do this in my class:
- Warm-up, stretching, sun salutation (Surya Namaskhar), yoga postures, beginner and intermediate level
- Breathing exercises.
- Music therapy, mantras on vowels and consonants to develop the voice.
If you wish, the course can also take place in a group.
I am a musician and I apply yoga and these principles in my professional life as well.

Teaching children is almost "an art" Not everyone is able to place him or herself in the mind of a child and that is just so important! I teach playfully and at the same time they learn without really realizing they are in a lesson! I do this with diverse lesson material such as pictures, video's, and we are also practicing songs together. Did I make you curious, come take a look and see if your child is liking my way of teaching! Greetings Carolina.

Yoga is an amazing tool I discovered more than10 years ago. With the help of yoga you will be able to release tensions and emotions that you have been carrying around with you for years. Subsequently, you will make space for new things to unfold in your body and Life! Don’t watch the process happen on other people but start today.

I will guide you with body, mind and spirit into this practice with a lot of asanas. Some women will discover they can leave the medical pill box aside for relieving period cramps for example. Many claim to have found a solution for their anxiety, insomnia or depression.

A mindful practice comes from your own input. As a 200 Hour yoga Teacher and 50 hour FlyHighYoga teacher I will be your guide and coach to embark on your journey with a variety of purposes - be it weight loss, toning, relieving stress, controlling emotions, going through a difficult phase in life, curing pain and symptoms, staying in shape, improving flexibility or practicing to become a professional.We will do different asanas in conjunction with the phases of the moon. Additionally, I work with breathing - the power of breathing is an add-on to your yoga practice. With the control of your breath you can actually turn off the mind when it’s spinning - this will give you clarity. Nonetheless, it’s a very powerful way to cleanse your airways and lungs. The lungs fight pathogens on a daily basis - but have you ever wondered when you actually cleanse them ?

I am an experienced and certified teacher with over 150 hours in teaching in studios and University facilities. I can teach one on one classes but also groups up to 50 people. My practice is dedicated and adapted to my students. I focus on getting the best out of everyone, mostly having fun and feeling great during and after class.
Are you ready for this journey ? (Beginner, intermediate or advanced welcome)

Pilates, Barre and other classes available with me on demand.
I have recently graduated with a Barre foundations diploma, provided by the MethodBarre. Barre a very popular sports enables you to build strength and elongate your muscles. As an ancient dancer (Jazz and Ballet) at the Conservatoire de la Musique du Luxembourg, I have strong ballet foundations. However, my barre practice merges fitness and ballet. Yogi’s and anyone can benefit from Barre classes.

You can book me for retreats, private (luxury) trips on demand as your coach/ instructor.

Finally, I have a nutrition diploma by the Univeristy of Groningen, where I am also currently being trained to become an MD. My nutrition diploma is an advantage to you as a coach- I can guide you in injury recovery, detox and assist you with certain medical conditions such as IBS or other gut diseases in the autoimmune spectrum.

Do-In Yoga is for everyone! It's an accessible way of doing yoga: women, men & kids love it.
Do-in Yoga has its origin in Japan; we combine 'makko ho' stretches with Qi Gong (breathing) exercises, tapping the meridians (energy pathways in the body) and short meditation.

You'll learn how to take care of your body and also what stretches have a certain effect on different functions in the body.

Hi there!

My name is Rohima and I am a certified yoga teacher, but besides that... I am also human. I am based in Paris and would love to guide you in to different practices.
I offer 1:1 practices in the comfort of your own home. Think about a (yin) yoga practice with meditation. Think about breathwork, or assisted stretching (which we call PNF - Propioceptive Neuromuscular Facillitation) where I'll help you to move your body in different stretching positions which helps your range of motion & muscle flexibility.

Besides the physical practice I love to help people to build a deeper connection with themselves and others. Thats why I also offer (white) tantra practice in groups or for couples.
I also listen to what your body needs & desires and together we'll do what is best for you!

Welcome to my Yoga class, where breath, movement, and mindfulness unite to nurture your body, mind and spirit.

I'm Thu, a yoga practicer of more than 20 years.
I believe that yoga is not just something we do on the mat; it's a way of living with awareness, compassion, and authenticity. My mission as your teacher is to empower you to cultivate a deeper connection to yourself and the world around you, both on and off the mat.

Yoga is more than just a physical exercise; it's a holistic path to wellness and inner peace. Through a combination of asanas (poses), pranayama (breathwork), and meditation, we'll explore the profound connection between body, breath, and consciousness.

In our classes, you can expect a supportive and inclusive environment where students of all levels are encouraged to explore and honor their unique bodies and abilities. Whether you're a seasoned yogi or a beginner, my aim is to meet you exactly where you are on your yoga journey and support you in reaching your goals.

Each class is thoughtfully crafted to provide a balance of strength, flexibility, and relaxation, leaving you feeling grounded, centered, and rejuvenated. Together, we'll explore the transformative power of yoga, cultivating physical vitality, mental clarity, and emotional resilience along the way.

So, whether you're here to find peace amidst life's chaos, to strengthen and tone your body, or simply to explore the beauty of yoga, I'm honored to be your guide on this journey. Let's come together, breathe deeply, and awaken the inner light that resides within each of us. Welcome to the practice of yoga!
