The passive poses are mostly done seated or lying down an are held for 3 to 5 minutes. Muscles are relaxed, allowing deep tissue release and increasing flexibility. Yin yoga is best practiced with a meditative approach, releasing tension in mind and body allowing a deep sense of inner calmness. Overall Yin Yoga is beneficial for improving flexibility, reducing stress and enhancing mindfulness, making it a valuable practice for both physical and mental well-being.

Budy Flow is designed by Brigitte, one of the teachers. She will be in-house between half November and end of March. It is a a unique fusion of yoga, dance, and somatic awareness that invites people to move with joy, depth, and presence.

Some morning lessons are given at the beachfront rooftop from Zanzibarista coffee house (150 m distance) on some days and at the shala in the hotel’s garden for the rest of the days.
