The Practice

LYT Method™ LYT METHOD™ is an energizing core-based vinyasa method created by physical therapist Lara Heimann, who implemented her own background in neurodevelopmental rehabilitation to rewire the brain and reestablish more optimal movement patterns in the yoga practice and for life.The specific blueprint of the LYT Method™ reestablishes postural imbalances and sets you up to move in a variety of ways. Each session will set the foundation for movement in complex patterns, explore the dynamic strength in your core cylinder, invite you to be more attuned to the patterns of your unique body and guide you to move with purpose on and off the mat.

MYOFASCIAL RELEASE: With an increase in the incidences of back, neck, hip pain, tension headaches, jaw pain and more, myofascial release is a tried and tested practice to reduce muscular tension, relieve pain and improve body awareness. This practice is beneficial for the physical and mental body working on the level of the connective tissue (deep and superficial), improving one’s threshold for pressure in the muscles and accessing the proprioceptors (part of the peripheral sensory nervous system that relays information the brain about where we are in space). At the Body and Balance Retreat we will dedicate 3 sessions to myofascial release, Spine and Mid body session, Extremities Session, Head and Neck session. With each session you will gain insight into the many aspects of the connective tissue in the different parts of your body, its importance in posture and alignment of the whole body, mobility in your joints and how to improve your range of motion, tools for nervous system regulation and improving breath capacity.

Hatha Yoga today serves as the foundational cornerstone for many other styles of yoga. The critical elements of a Hatha Yoga session include asana (physical postures), Pranayama ( breathing techniques) and Meditation. Hatha yoga is a beginner friendly practice that can help you build strength and flexibility. At the retreat we offer three sessions of Hatha yoga in which we will explore classical postures with focus on body alignment and breath. Hatha yoga sessions are led at a slow pace and poses are held for a considerable amount of time which helps the practitioners to bring more awareness to the flow of breath. Practitioners get enough time in a Hatha yoga class to flow from one posture to the other safely. Static holds of postures with synchronized breath helps in building a deeper mind - body connection resulting in better balance,strength and stability . These sessions are suitable for all levels . If you are a beginner, we will help you with the basics of Hatha practice and if you are an already existing practitioner , our expert teachers will guide you to delve deeper into these postures. Every Hatha session will also include a short Pranayama and meditation practice. Experience a wholesome practice that promotes balance, flexibility and stillness in a peaceful setting.
