UNION YOGA & DIVe
The Yogic Path
YogaNdive provides a profound experience that unites the Science of Yoga with the therapeutic aspects of Scuba diving.
At the core of this ancient philosophy lie the Eight Limbs of Yoga, a comprehensive system designed to harmonize the mind, body, and spirit, leading to inner peace and liberation.
In combining Yoga and Diving, we connect to our breath, our life force.
According to Patanjali Pranayama ,defines one of the 8 limbs of Yoga, as the control of the Life force that aims at increasing vital energy, our Prana.
Yama, Niyama, Āsana, Prānāyāma, Pratyāhāra, Dhāranā, Dhyāna, and Samādhi
Each step builds upon the previous one, culminating in a deeper understanding of the self. It is common in Europe for people to leap directly to Step 3 (Asana) without giving due consideration to Steps 1 and 2. In reality, the Yama and Niyama serve as the very foundation of a yoga journey.
As professional divers and yogis we have a profound understanding of both practices and we have put together sequences with specifics y techniques like Pranayamas (breathing exercises), Sequences of Asanas (body postures), body locks (bandhas) , Visualisation (dristis) and Meditation (dhyana) to prepare your mind, body and spirit to immerse yourself to get the very best out of every dives.
