Yoga
Yoga is a mind-body-breath trinity.
The movement serves the embodiment, the intelligent and esoteric dialogue builds the interior landscape and the breath is for the implicit spirit.
We believe that Yoga is proven to be one of the most potent integrative systems for longevity.
As VVOO reflects the interplay of the five elements and their characteristics, all classes are defined by colour and their corresponding archetype.
- Blue belongs to the kidneys and enhances the restoration of one's deep waters. SOOTHE.
- Green belongs to the liver and sparks expansion and strength similar to the vital force of a tree. EXPAND.
- Red belongs to the heart and induces the fire of the heart. ENJOY.
- Yellow belongs to the stomach and organizes one's middle and earth. CENTER.
- Grey belongs to the lungs and organizes space for better function. REFINE.
