ॐ General Introduction: Hi, I’m Jasmine, a yoga teacher, fitness trainer and a wellness consultant.
ॐ Starting a Yoga Practice ~ Is yoga for everyone? Can anyone learn it?
Yoga is an ancient art with both physical and psychological benefits. Together with becoming stronger and more flexible, it is a good way for us to release tension, stiffness or pain. On the other hand, it helps us calm down, clear the mind and by boosting focus and concentration, it helps us deal with all of our daily-life troubles and concerns.
I offer classes adjustable to everyone, no matter if you are young or old, a complete beginner or an advanced practitioner. We do everything together, I give clear instructions in English, show each movement, correct and give tips on how to improve each pose.
ॐ Learning Meditation ~ Just like Yoga, meditation is a skill anyone can learn. The meditative state is a natural state of mind, which everyone should practice reaching daily in order to be fully joyous and fulfilled longterm. Meditation is not anything strange, unusual or difficult. On the contrary, it helps us tune into our true selves, that we have, unfortunately, due to the busy modern-style contemporary fast-paced life, completely forgotten how to achieve.
In my guided meditation lessons I take you on a journey of peace, joy and relaxation. Post-session you will feel calm, relaxed, grounded and at ease. Welcome!
ॐ Fitness and exercise ~ I believe it is of great importance to stay in good shape and be fit in order to stay physically and psychologically healthy and happy for a long period of time. For me, fitness is a way of life. I worked in Serbia as a Cardio Fight instructor, a fitness program I invented, after years of experience and dedication in fitness and martial arts. Cardio Fight is strength and conditioning training that uses elements of mostly kickboxing and Muay Thai, but also taekwondo, karate, kung fu, Brazilian jujitsu, capoeira, yoga and tai chi qi gong.
On Cafetalk I offer various classes (lower body, upper body, core) as well as different types of trainings: cardio – where our heart pumps fast, we jump, move fast and sweat a lot; strength – where we do more static body-weight exercises and movements with dumb bells which help us build and tone muscles; as well as flexibility – where we work on stretching and elongating the muscles to prevent injury and relieve stiffness and pain. I also offer - my favorite - Kickboxing classes where you can learn how to punch and kick properly, learn various self-defense moves, and at the same time, build muscle strength and stay in shape!
The reason I chose to teach so many different kinds of exercises is because I think all of them are important. I believe we should do all: cardio, strength, resistance, plyometrics, flexibility, recovery, etc. This does not mean that we should train for several hours a day (especially if we are not professional athletes), but I merely would like to suggest exercising 2-5 times a week, with doing a different exercise routine each time. For example: Monday – cardio, Wednesday – core, Friday – lower body, Sunday – upper body and flexibility, etc. to get the most benefits!
In case you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
Jasmine ॐ
