Samatva Yoga
Balance for body and mind. Gentle, inclusive yoga for seniors and every body.
What is Samatva?
Samatva is a Sanskrit word meaning balance, or evenness of mind. It comes from the Bhagavad Gita, one of India’s most treasured spiritual texts, written more than two thousand years ago.
In the Gita, Krishna teaches the warrior Arjuna that yoga is not about perfection, but about staying steady and calm in every situation, in success and in difficulty, in strength and in weakness. “Yoga is evenness of mind,” he says.
That’s the spirit of these classes. Not flexibility or difficult poses, but finding a little more balance, calm and ease in your body, as it is today.
For centres
Gentle yoga for your community
Samatva Yoga is a new project in Tilburg bringing gentle, accessible yoga to community centres, care homes and neighbourhood groups. Sessions are designed for older adults and people with physical limitations: small groups, mostly chair-based movements, simple breathing exercises and a short relaxation at the end.
Each session lasts about 45 to 60 minutes and can be adapted to the needs of your group. The aim is simple: more balance, mobility and calm, and a warm social moment together.
