This discipline applies the codes of traditional yoga to exercises in water heated to 32°C. And, despite what many people think, aquayoga is not only for the elderly or pregnant women!

Anyone can take part in this sport and relax, which is ideal for people suffering from stress. It is also recommended for people who suffer from rheumatism or arthritis. This will help you ease off all the tension and have fun.

You must wear a diving mask and lie down in the water on your back or on your tummy. At the start of the session, you will learn how to breathe, in order to dispel your stress and open up your rib cage.
Aquayoga is based on two specific movements:

When lying down, you make undulation movements by making wave shapes with your hands, your hips or your feet. And then you make spiral movements with your body, while on your back or on your tummy.

Since these movements are all made in water, their impacts are much lower than those movements made on dry land. You can try out different poses in the water as there is no risk of falling down and injuring yourself!

Aquayoga is as good for the mind as it is for the body. This discipline makes your body more supple and improves your posture. It also exercises your breathing, relieves tension and eliminates toxins.
And for tense people who have trouble sleeping, aquayoga can help to cure sleeping disorders.
