Hatha Yoga: an ancient discipline for well-being
An ancient practice originating from Indian tradition, Hatha Yoga is an approach that combines postures (asanas), controlled breathing (pranayama), and meditation to harmonize body and mind. Accessible to all, it improves flexibility, concentration, and stress management, while promoting lasting inner balance. Today, this discipline is experiencing a growing boom, appealing to both wellness enthusiasts and those seeking serenity in their often hectic daily lives. A return to oneself is at the heart of the practice.
Hatha Yoga: the alliance of movement and breathing for harmony of body and mind
Hatha Yoga postures: discover them in Beaune with the Temple of Horus!
In Hatha Yoga, each posture (asana) is intimately linked to breathing (pranayama), creating a balance between movement and breath. This synchronization allows the body to be oxygenated, the mind to be soothed, and the posture to be gently deepened. Inhaling lengthens and prepares the movement, while exhaling promotes grounding and flexibility. By mastering this alliance, the practitioner develops concentration, fluidity, and self-awareness, essential for a fully beneficial yoga practice.
The six phases of posture: a progressive path
Each posture in Hatha Yoga follows a cycle of six essential steps: preparation or refocusing, gradual entry into the posture, inner animation of the posture, conscious breathing or experiencing the posture in stillness "body and breath," exiting the posture, and welcoming the results of the experience. Preparation allows one to settle into the pose accurately before gradually adopting the asana. Stability ensures a posture held with ease, where breathing plays a key role in relaxing the body and mind. The exit is done gently, followed by a time of integration, a moment of observation where one feels the effects of the posture. This process guarantees a balanced practice that respects the body.
Properly prepare for a Hatha Yoga session in Beaune
Before rolling out your mat and beginning a Hatha Yoga session, a few precautions are necessary to fully enjoy the benefits of the practice.
Minimalist equipment
The practice of Hatha Yoga requires only a comfortable mat, a zafu or cushion, a blanket for relaxation, and a pair of warm socks in case of chilly weather. Regarding clothing, loose cotton clothing is preferred, promoting well-being and freedom of movement.
Dietary and mental conditioning
The practitioner's physical and mental state also plays a key role. For easier digestion and better concentration, it is recommended to practice in the morning on an empty stomach or to avoid eating within two hours before a daytime or evening session. Finally, before beginning, a brief internal assessment is necessary: observe your current state, without judgment. Fatigue, calm, stress, or overflowing energy—all are acceptable. Becoming aware of your sensations is already entering the practice.
Medical Certificate
Although the practice of Hatha Yoga is particularly respectful of the body and progressive, a medical certificate is required to access the various classes.

Energy treatments: rebalancing body and mind
As an extension of her Hatha Yoga practice, Carole offers several energy treatments with acclaimed benefits.
Energy treatments are based on the idea that the human body is traversed by energy flows, the balance of which is essential for physical and mental health. Inspired by ancient traditions such as Chinese medicine, Reiki, and Ayurveda, these practices aim to release energy blockages, stimulate self-healing, and promote a state of overall well-being.
Through gentle techniques, ranging from the laying on of hands to the reharmonization of energy centers (chakras), these treatments can help reduce stress, soothe tension, strengthen immunity, and restore a smooth flow of vital energy. Complementary to conventional medicine, they are increasingly popular for their holistic approach and their ability to reconnect each individual with their inner balance.
