Elena’s teaching style brings together her own experience of yoga as well as other movement practices. Coming from a very active past, where pushing beyond her limits was a given, yoga has taught her instead how to respect and honour her self through motion. It has enabled her to listen to and understand her body’s language. Yoga, when practiced at its fullest, becomes a way of living, Asana practice a playful and joyful exploration. It is the passing on of this joy and excitement that has become her passion in teaching yoga. Making yoga accessible to everybody, understanding that it is not about the outer form but instead all about entering a deeper dialogue with ourselves.
Somatic Movement focuses on our body’s intrinsic urge to move, to release and to harmonise in order to find balance and restore its overall health and wellbeing. The practice is a holistic exploration of our physical, emotional and energetic body, through internal perception and experience. Somatic movement practices emphasize the internal sensations and awareness of the body promoting a gentle rebalancing of the nervous system. Through deliberate and conscious movement we support our body-mind system to heal, by activating the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) and reducing stress and anxiety.
Mindful Flow Yoga, as developed by Elena, is an active yet gentle practice, that offers both new and advanced practitioners the space to explore movement and breath at a slow pace. It combines short vinyasa sequences, practiced slowly and focusing on transitions, and more static hatha yoga elements with longer holds. While offering detailed queues throughout the practice, it actively encourages and supports proprioception and the notion, that each practitioner can determine what works best for their body.
Yin Yoga stands for a very gentle, passive practice, as opposed to movement-oriented vigorous yang styles of yoga. It is intended to support stretching of the body’s connective tissue, particularly around the joints, and allow for a build up of receiving, feminine energy. Yin yoga is a slow practice of fewer poses that are held over several minutes, allowing you to enter deep yet gentle stretches by relaxing your muscles and letting gravity do the work for you.

Originally trained in Swedish Massage, Garuda has been a bodyworker for over 20 years. Combining the skills acquired through a variety of further trainings with his own emotional intelligence and intuitive touch, his sessions promote a profound state of relaxation from where the physical stress of everyday life can be released. Working quite deeply on the body, he is also able to isolate all problem areas, and lovingly squeeze out any tension he finds, bringing instant relief where it is most needed.
Swedish Massage
Swedish massage involves the use of six basic strokes over the soft tissue of the body. The aim is to either speed up or slow down the natural physiology of the recipient. This process stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system of the body into a state of relaxation and regeneration, often resulting in deep and blissful sleep. In short, Swedish massage encourages the body to employ its own healing system and thus begin to heal itself. Deeply yet tenderly working on the body to eliminate and eradicate the results of stress and tension, using just enough pressure to soothe and restore its natural function. Hence, the effects are both physical and psychological – Swedish massage benefits the skin, muscles, blood vessels, lymphatic system, nerves and some of the internal organs, while at the same time allowing you to feel loved and cared for due to the increased levels of the hormone oxytocin released during a session.
Thai Foot Massage
Thai foot massage is the application of pressure to particular areas of the soles of the feet. A reflex action in another part of the body is stimulated by the manipulation of each specific area. Foot reflexology massage uses the hands, fingers, thumbs, knuckles, and a rounded wooden stick with lotion or oil. This particular form of foot massage as practiced in Thailand is an ancient therapeutic procedure that has become popular today. Originally the knowledge and techniques were closely held secrets kept alive and passed down through generations by the Buddhist monks of the Thai Royal Palace. Thai foot reflexology is a marriage between the ancient healing arts of Reflexology, Chinese Tuina, Japanese Shiatsu and Indian Ayurvedic Yoga. Working with the feet, lower leg and knees, this 2000-year-old technique frees up blocked energy within the body’s many Sen lines (Thai-based meridians) to produce a deep and unique feeling of balance, relaxation and well-being.
Lessons are available for couples who want t to learn the basics to share the gift of a loving touch.
Sessions can also be individually tailored to fit each client’s needs, in order to alleviate specific physical issues they may be suffering from.
Meditation
Meditation can be a simple and powerful tool to find the way back to our center and help us maintain our focus and energy in our daily lives. While ideally everything in life can become a meditation, it does need some practice and patience to slowly become more aware and mindful in our lives. Garuda and Mahí use active as well as passive mediation techniques as a means of entering a state of meditation. They bring with them their own experience of meditation as part of the community of OSHO Afroz Meditation Center and as part of a busy city life.

OSHO Active Meditations
OSHO Active Meditations offer an approach adapted to our western lifestyles. While they offer many more or less vigorous techniques, they all have one structure in common: move – release – observe. This structure makes it easier to open up to that state of awareness and mindfulness called meditation. To find our more visit:
