    Hatha Yoga – Good for body and soul

    Yoga is very much trending. It not only promises balance and vitality, but also effectively promotes better health and soothingly engages the whole body.

    No more distractions

    The most widespread type of yoga in the West is Hatha Yoga, which combines classical yoga postures with targeted breathing exercises. The aim is for the body and mind to become less distracted. It heavily focuses on the here and now.

    Breathing exercises in the foreground

    Important in Hatha Yoga are the “five pillars”. These include the physical exercises (Asanas), the breathing exercises (Pranayamas), deep relaxation (Shavasana), proper nutrition as well as positive thinking and meditation.

    The breathing exercises are particularly important here: conscious breathing regulates the rhythm of breathing, increases the depth of breathing and lowers the heart rate. This leads to improved ventilation and cleansing of the lungs and airways, and thus to improved oxygen intake. This also ensures an optimal oxygen supply to the body. More oxygen in the brain means an increased ability to concentrate, with a simultaneous feeling of self-confidence and relaxation. The reduced heart rate further supports this relaxation effect.

    Good for blood circulation and muscles

    Yoga has a positive effect on our health: The individual parts of our body are under a constant alternation of tension and relaxation, which effectively improves blood circulation and specifically strengthens and builds up the musculature. Sleep disorders, backaches and headaches, as well as high blood pressure, can be significantly reduced. Even your relaxation comes to a rest.

    By repeating the individual yoga sequences several times, the positive effects add up and you can completely relax!

    Also, good for beginners

    Hatha Yoga is suitable for everyone. Even beginners can get started right away with Hatha Yoga, as the exercises can be adjusted in difficulty as desired.

    Note, however, that it is important to start under professional guidance, as there are many things that can be done wrong in yoga, and the positive results may not come to fruition. You will find suitable courses in your John Harris fitness studio. Every Monday, you can enjoy the view from the highest building in Vienna during your yoga session on the roof terrace in the DC Tower. We offer you optimal and competent support for your perfect start to yoga.

    To our courses

    Fitting courses

    Yogalates

    John Harris' 60-minute Yogalates class combines the most effective and best of yoga and Pilates. Stretch, strengthen and meditate- all in one class. After a short warm-up, you start the varied course, which perfectly balances the typical Pilates power training and the well-known meditative yoga.
    Different breathing techniques and the training of deep-lying, but essential muscle groups are the common thread throughout the entire training.

    Yoga

    There is hardly a better known and proven method to optimize one's physical, as well as one's overall mental condition than through yoga. Yoga has been proven to help not only preventively against mental illness symptoms such as sleep disorders, anxiety, or even burn-out, but also against physical limitations such as headaches, shoulder or back pain.

    Wake Up Yoga

    This morning yoga session is especially good for starting the day awake and fresh. It activates the body and calms the mind at the same time, which can reduce susceptibility to stress. Gentle exercises prepare you for the day ahead.
    The session is ideally suited for yoga beginners or for yogis who want to strengthen their basics. The postures (Asanas) in this class are combined to create a balanced practice that strengthens and relaxes the body at the same time.
    The main focus is on learning the basic postures and the correct breathing techniques-step by step. With regular yoga practice, you will feel how you become more powerful after a while and your body will noticeably gain flexibility.

    Diamond Yoga

    Diamond Yoga is a combination of Yin and Yang Yoga and is suitable for both beginners and advanced students. It is a mixture of relaxation and classical Hatha Yoga.
    As a special highlight, a final relaxation with the heavenly sounds of a crystal singing bowl follows at the end of each unit.

    Yoga & Meditation

    The yoga sessions are predominantly Hatha yoga, with the objective of making the body supple, flexible and strong at the same time.
    In addition, one of the focuses is on grounding and practicing an upright posture for good balance. This is not only physical, but also mental. Self-control and body awareness are increased through longer lasting exercises. This ultimately leads to great mental strength as well.
    There are different types of workouts that are good for clearing the mind. Likewise, there are many workouts that get the body out and exercised. However, there are hardly more suitable courses than yoga, where in one exercise session body and mind are not only trained, but also connected at the same time. Yoga is recommended for those who want to leave their everyday stress behind, or who notice that their health is already close to the limit.

    Hatha Yoga

    Hatha Yoga is a form of yoga in which the balance between body and mind is sought primarily through physical exercises (Asanas), through breathing exercises (Pranayama) and meditation.
    Hatha yoga is especially suitable for beginners and yogis who are looking for a calm balance to the stressful everyday life. The yoga practice also strengthens and stretches the muscles, making the body more flexible. In addition, Hatha Yoga improves body awareness and has a positive effect on the mind. This relaxes both body and mind.

    Vinyasa Flow Yoga

    Flow Yoga combines individual yoga positions (Asanas) and breathing into a harmonious and flowing sequence of movements.
    At the beginning, the mind is calmed through breathing exercises to arrive at the mat. The flowing transition into mobilization and movement of the entire body serves as preparation for our flow. The finale is formed by stretching positions and the final relaxation Shavasana. Yoga blocks and yoga straps can be used to support and intensify the practice. This yoga session is suitable for all levels, as it brings body and mind into harmony.

    Ashtanga Yoga

    Precise sequence of body postures, connected by dynamic and powerful movement elements. Special breathing technique!
    Ashtanga Yoga is a more intense workout than Hatha Yoga. There is a smooth transition from one exercise to the next. Ashtanga Yoga is the basis for the popular Power Yoga. Here, the exercises are basically always completed in the same order. Ashtanga is supposed to lead to more calmness and balance without meditation and calm exercises, but through sweaty training.

    Bodybalance Summer Special

    The Tai Chi warm-up is followed by simple movements, poses and stretches from yoga and Pilates to flowing music, with a relaxed meditation at the end. A benefit for body, mind and soul!
    In this class, you have the possibility to bring external people (boyfriend/girlfriend, colleague, siblings, etc.). Bodybalance Summer Special is free of charge for ALL – at the Sandcastle in the open air. Therefore, also only in dry weather!

    Find Your Balance

    Find Your Balance is the perfect blend of strengthening, mobilization, balance exercises, stretching, flexibility and fascia training. The whole body is moved and strengthened in this quiet hour with or without additional equipment. Through mobilization, the body is optimally prepared for the exercises that flow into each other, which are first performed in a standing position and then on the mat. A soothing stretching serves as the finale.
    This harmonious unit is suitable for everyone to bring the body back into balance.
