Martina Parzmaier BEd; Founder of Yoga Ojas

 

Ojas - is a Sanskrit word for vitality and energy.

 

I started to practice Yoga when I was 15 years old and was fascinated straight away by the benefits I could feel. I became more aware of my body and started listening to my needs, which lead me to the best decisions in my life. Today I feel healthier and happier than ever before and I am glad that I was introduced to Yoga at such an early stage in my life. This beautiful experience is what I want to give to my students now as well.

After years of practicing different styles of Yoga and being inspired by my Hatha Yoga teacher I decided to take the next step and I started an intense yoga-teaching course in the Sivananda tradition.

This course let me explore different aspects of the Yoga practice which are reflected in my teaching. Sivananda training revolves around frequent relaxation, and emphasizes full, yogic breathing.

My focus is on each student's needs and the combination of Asanas, breathing, relaxation and meditation.

In my class I usually start with a stress-relieving relaxation and breathing exercise, followed by variations of the dynamic Sun Salutation to warm up the body and 8-12 powerful Asanas or variations of Asanas with focus on the breath. We end the class with a relaxation in Savasana, with music and guided visualisations. I work on the whole physical make-up of your body in a very sensitive and non-competitive way. In my classes I strive to create an environment where everybody can explore Yoga at their own pace and where everyone feels welcome and safe.

 

Yoga for me is having fun working with your body, meditate for inner peace and harmony and a positive life attitude.

Yoga is for everyone!

 

I combined my Yoga knowledge with various massage techniques and started an International Certified Massage course. All my physiological knowledge and the massage techniques I learnt help to give my clients the best treatment designed for their needs.
