In Leon’s Yoga Workout & Meditation class, the primary focus is on cultivating a powerful post-session state one that combines energy, full-body strength, inner stillness, ability to maximum focus, and expanded awareness.
This is attained by several techniques - asana, meditation & pranayama.
The major emphasis is on harmonizing the breath with seamless transitions between yoga poses, cultivating a mindful movement culture.
With over 15 years of yoga and meditation experience, Leon has been teaching yoga on Koh Phangan since 2014 on main yoga platforms - Orion, Siam Healing, The Yoga Retreat, Yoga House, Samma Karuna, Hatha Yoga Academy, and finally opened his own studio.
Leon got his instructor trainings in the Kyiv Yoga Studio of A. Sidersky, a well-known yoga master in Russia and Ukraine. Additionally: TTC200 in India (Dharamsala), intensive courses with Reinghart Gammenthaler (Kundalini yoga parampara), A. Zinchenko, V. Zyuban, E. Zhenetel
Organized several teacher training courses.
Universal Yoga is a multi-faceted system of methods that represent all the essential rules and laws of authentic yoga. Universal Yoga is about unifying all the methods and disciplines in authentic yoga that can be used for any and all individuals, and for any broad or specific goal. The asanas class will be oriented around the idea of creating balance in all the layers of self (physical, energetic, emotional, and mental) using the three main threads of yoga practice: body, breath, and mind.
The primary goal of practice is not to target the body, but to target one’s concentration, focus, and attention; to turn it all inward, creating a serenely stable inner atmosphere conducive to awareness & personal development.
