Program
A vacation to disconnect from your daily life
Yoga: Mind and body awareness
It is a slow and usually gentle practice. Throughout it, the most traditional postures are carried out, in coordination with a deep and conscious breathing. The focus is on the attention of the union of body-mind-spirit through the asanas (postures), pranayamas (control of breathing) and meditation. At the same time you can take advantage of the physical benefits: flexibility, muscle strength and toning, release stress, improve your body posture, and more.
Workshops: Alternative yoga practice
La Tejana offers different workshops adapted to you: yoga Nidra (systematic method to reach physical, emotional and mental relaxation), yoga dance (use of yoga asanas as a dance method), meditation, and more.
