The class will wind down with some slower movement leading to Yin poses (held yoga poses)\, breathwork and eventually Savasana. \n  \nWith a career spanning several years in the field of dance\, Sandra’s journey into the world of yoga\, began as a sporadic exploration. Over several years she tried different yoga techniques with different teachers\, but it was when she stumbled upon Yin Yoga that her path truly deepened. Recently certified as a yoga teacher. Sandra’s teaching style reflects her experience in dance and movement and her newfound passion for yoga.

The class will wind down with some slower movement leading to Yin poses (held yoga poses)\, breathwork and eventually Savasana. \n  \nWith a career spanning several years in the field of dance\, Sandra’s journey into the world of yoga\, began as a sporadic exploration. Over several years she tried different yoga techniques with different teachers\, but it was when she stumbled upon Yin Yoga that her path truly deepened. Recently certified as a yoga teacher.

She has been leading the Iżfen contemporary sessions since their start in 2021 and is excited to be back leading this growing and developing platform. \n\n\nIżfen is a space where people of any dance experience are welcome. During Zoe’s open sessions we move away from focusing on aesthetics and learning stylised movement and move more towards finding and investing in how each of our bodies like to move. We will physically explore fluidity\, coordination\, groove and dynamics mostly through guided improvisation and simple contemporary dance techniques. \nIf you would like to join\, or are interested but have any questions\, get in touch with Zoe on her email zoe.camilleri1@gmail.com \n[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”60px”][vc_column_text] \nCost\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]€12 drop in\n€40 for 4 sessions (monthly package) \n€140 for 16 sessions (4 month package)[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”60px”][/vc_column][/vc_row] URL:https://www.zfinmalta.org/event/izfen-ma-zfinmalta-apr-30-24/ LOCATION:ŻfinMalta Studios\, Mediterranean Conference Centre\, Valletta\, VLT 1645\, Malta CATEGORIES:Community Classes,Contemporary Classes ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.zfinmalta.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/ZfinMalta-community-classes-Izfen-ma-ZfinMalta.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Rome:20240430T100000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Rome:20240430T111500 DTSTAMP:20260818T014101 CREATED:20240320T154330Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240320T154330Z UID:7878-1714471200-1714475700@www.zfinmalta.org SUMMARY:Company Open Classes - Ballet with Alexis Oliveira DESCRIPTION:[vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” css=”.vc_custom_1587042757740{padding-bottom: 7% !important;}” z_index=””][vc_column][vc_column_text] \nCompany Open Classes\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text] \nBallet with Alexis Oliveira\n[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”30px”]\n Book Now\n\n[vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_column_text]Get your morning moving in a class with the ŻfinMalta company dancers and one of our expert guest teachers.
