TIME FOR INDULGENCE

Aqua yoga – yoga in the water is a holistic concept and includes yoga poses adapted to the water. Aqua yoga asanas are practised floating in the water (with pool noodles) and standing in chest-high water. In the element and experiential space of water, both the positive physical properties of water (buoyancy) and its healing effect on a physical, mental and spiritual level are utilised. 

Aqua yoga is a beneficial and relieving form of yoga practice, especially for people with joint problems, obesity and pregnant women. Due to the warm water temperature (approx. 34 degrees) in the thermal pool, caution is advised in the case of acute cardiovascular diseases, high blood pressure and phlebitis; participants should consult their doctor beforehand.
