Karate plus Yoga aims to spread the practice of karate and yoga. These two disciplines complement each other as part of a holistic approach to health (physical, mental, and energetic), leading to greater well-being and a better understanding of oneself (and others). However, it is advisable to start with yoga or karate alone. However, karate classes include many elements of yoga practice.
This approach is an ancient one. One thousand five hundred years ago (in the 6th century), for example, an Indian monk, the legendary Bodhidharma, introduced to the Shaolin temple (China) a practice combining empty-hand martial arts with exercises derived from yoga. This practice was designed to strengthen and unify the physical, psychic, and energetic dimensions of the monks, enabling them to meditate for long hours.
Karate plus Yoga also offers workshops for martial artists practicing disciplines such as kung fu, muay thai boxing, taekwondo, judo, jujitsu, and others. These workshops enable participants to discover and integrate aspects of yoga (certain postures, breathing, and concentration methods) that reinforce their martial practice and facilitate access to inner tranquility and strength.
Small group practice
Karate and yoga classes are given in small groups (4 to 8 people). The same applies to occasional workshops (6 to 15 people). This facilitates the appropriation and retention of practice content so that participants can then use these new tools independently.
CONTACT US
Karate and yoga classes are held at the Shōten dojo (located in Miguasha, municipality of Nouvelle, Quebec). Everyone is welcome. However, participation is by invitation only. Indeed, the Shōten dojo is not a commercial venue open to the public, notably because the number of places is limited.
Occasional workshops are held in locations that vary according to the number of participants and their place of residence.
