Since then, I have practiced, learned, lived and taught in various yoga schools, ashrams and meditation centers.<br \/>\nI teach traditional Hatha Yoga, Ashtanga Yoga and Yin Yoga. By focusing on asanas (physical postures), pranayama (breathing techniques) and deep relaxation, the practice creates a deep sense of well-being and inner balance.<br \/>\nThe teachings of Sivananda and Krishnamarcharya have greatly influenced me and my way of practicing yoga. Since 2010 I have practiced Vipassana meditation, which brings me a deeper understanding of yoga, and through years of studying yoga and health, I have grasped many aspects of Ayurveda (traditional Indian medicine), which recommends yoga as a therapy and prevention method.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 80px;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1367 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/gayani-yoga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Jana-guitare-e1523266165859.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"235\" \/><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]About fifteen years ago, I came into contact with chanting bowls and was immediately fascinated by their soothing and healing effects.
