Paragate Yoga is currently offering a variety of Yoga and Pilates classes with options ranging from basic to advanced, catering to specific skill levels of practitioners. Additionally, Paragate Yoga also provides courses and workshops on the STOTT PILATES® Method by Merrithew®.
Various Types of Yoga
Hatha Yoga
Hatha Yoga classes focus on practicing traditional Yoga postures (asanas), breath control techniques, and mindfulness. The core of the practice is to listen to the body by holding postures for extended periods, promoting strength in core muscles, flexibility, balance, and concentration.
Prop-Assisted Yoga (Chair Yoga – Block Yoga – Wall Yoga – Stick Yoga)
The Prop-Assisted Yoga classes distinguish themselves by utilizing supportive props for proper body alignment and emphasizing subtle movements within each Yoga posture. This approach ensures that students achieve optimal effectiveness and endurance during their practice. This style of Yoga is highly regarded for its precision and demands a high degree of accuracy in adjusting each posture to suit the individual physique and needs of each student throughout their training journey.
Yoga Ball Fitness
The training postures with the Yoga Ball are often gentle, flowing, and lightweight, contributing to improved flexibility in the joints. It enhances lower body strength, particularly the back, abdomen, and buttocks, making these muscle groups firmer, healthier, and more flexible. This practice effectively supports weight loss, aiding in the burning of excess fat around the abdomen, waist, and hips.
Aerial Yoga
These are Yoga poses practiced with the aid of suspended silk hammocks hanging from the ceiling. In addition to ground-level Yoga postures, they incorporate movements inspired by acrobatics, taking advantage of the body’s freedom from the Earth’s gravitational pull.
The benefits of Aerial Yoga are significant: it reduces pressure on the spine, allowing the muscles around the vertebral column to relax. Joints are relieved from the usual weight-bearing strain, unlike conventional Yoga. It challenges the nervous system, enhances mental well-being and body awareness, increases traction, promotes flexibility, is beginner-friendly, and helps maintain posture.
Aerial Yoga is currently gaining significant popularity.
Restorative Yoga
Restorative Yoga classes combine meditation movements and a state of tranquility, creating rejuvenating postures for the body, along with the use of supportive props and relaxing music. Restorative Yoga poses play a crucial role in our yoga journey: they help regenerate energy, heal the negative impacts of daily life stress, and assist our nervous system in returning to a balanced state.
Vinyasa Yoga
Vinyasa classes are like the dynamic rhythms of life. Postures are seamlessly connected with each breath, allowing the body to flow and balance harmoniously. Vinyasa generates energy, builds endurance, flexibility, and strength. Typically, creative sequences are built around the Surya Namaskar (Sun Salutation) sequence, creating a challenging workout.
Yin Yoga
Yin Yoga integrates the principles of Hatha Yoga and Qigong, based on the concept of yin and yang from Daoism. Yin Yoga focuses on the connective tissues (ligaments and tendons) rather than muscles. It doesn’t aim to warm up muscles or move quickly; instead, Yin Yoga encourages gentle, passive stretches, often using props. Each posture may be held for a minimum of 3 minutes or more.
Key Benefits of Yin Yoga
1. Stillness: Calms and balances the mind and body.
2. Stress and Anxiety Reduction
3. Enhanced Circulation
4. Improved Flexibility
5. Fascial Release: Releasing tension in fascial tissues.
6. Better Joint Mobility
7. Internal Organ Balance and Enhanced Energy Flow through stimulation of meridians.
Yoga Blind
It is a yoga practice that requires practitioners to focus entirely on their inner self. This is facilitated by the use of a specialized blindfold, designed to be worn over the eyes, allowing practitioners to keep their eyes open without seeing the external world. This inner connection is like a path, like a light that enables practitioners to experience the subtlety of Yoga through movements. The unity of breath and posture creates the complete beauty of Yoga in this unique form of practice.
Yoga Kids
Yoga classes for children are designed to relieve stress after a week of studying, release tension in the body, and help correct posture to prevent hunching and spinal misalignment. Additionally, Aerial Yoga for Kids classes also allow kids to conquer aerial poses, providing excitement and challenges that they always seek.
Pilates Classes
STOTT PILATES ® Matwork
These are Pilates classes that focus on the coordination of the entire body. Pilates workouts use the body’s own weight and conquer gravity to develop flexibility and strength. The equipment used in the training also aids in making movements easier and more effective in exercises built upon the inspiration of Joseph Pilates, the founder of this discipline.
The equipment used in STOTT PILATES ® Matwork classes includes Fitness Circle ®, Foam Roller ™, Flex-Band ®, Stability Ball ™, Sliding Mobility Disks ™, Toning Ball ™, and Arc Barrel.
STOTT PILATES ® Reformer
This class is a combination of Pilates using the Pilates Reformer machine. This specialized machine is designed to provide challenges to the body and enhance strength. The concept of the ‘Reformer’ was born because this method truly facilitates the body’s ‘reform’. Reformer Pilates classes focus on body alignment and precision in engaging muscle groups, enhancing posture, balance, and stability.
Cadillac Pilates
Similar to the Reformer, the additional equipment and apparatus on the Pilates Cadillac bed make your exercises easier and more precise. Practicing on the Cadillac brings about significant results, whether it’s for weight loss, toning, or therapeutic benefits, especially for improving spinal comfort.
Wunda chair Pilates
Despite its basic design, there are countless exercises that can be performed on the Pilates chair. It’s fantastic for strengthening the core muscles, as well as the arms and legs. Exercises are done lying, sitting, and standing on the chair, as well as from various positions and edges of the chair. Expect a great deal of stability and flexibility while working on the chair. It truly showcases the agility of the Pilates method to see how many exercises can be executed on the Pilates chair.
Ladder Barrel
One of the Pilates tools that helps shape the body, improve posture, address curvature and hunchback issues, and alleviate pain for those with spinal injuries. The safety of movements is also enhanced. Locking in movements or controlling your spine becomes easier, safer, and more precise, focusing accurately on the core muscle group you want to engage, minimizing potential injuries.
