Who we are

Theaora began with the idea of creating a calm space for movement and attention. We focus on practices that bring awareness to the body, breath, and the rhythm of life. Each course carries simplicity, continuity, and sensitivity to detail. The value of quiet, natural flow, and gradual motion is at the core of everything we create.

Our approach

Gently, steadily, attentively

Observation

Practice begins with the body — in moments where we sense breath and grounding. Observation helps to notice subtle signals that guide the movement.

Rhythm

Each movement is shaped with attention to the rhythm that emerges from within. It is a way to feel structure and flow from the inside.

Presence

Presence is found in the details — in the placement of the hand, the depth of an exhale, the softness of the neck. This is where practice begins.

Questions & Answers

How do I choose a course if I’m just starting out with the practice?

Each course description indicates what the focus is on — breathing, posture, balance, or gentle recovery. This will help you understand what’s closest to you at this stage. Choose what brings an inner sense of peace or curiosity.

Is there any special preparation required to get started?

The practices are designed to be open to any level of experience. They do not involve complex physical activity or strict requirements. The main thing is sensitivity to yourself and a willingness to explore your body at your own pace.

What do I need to get started?

Any space where you can comfortably and calmly sit will do. It is important that it is quiet and free from external factors. You can take a blanket or pillow if you want extra comfort.

Are there evening practices in the courses?

Yes, some sections are suitable for evening time or recovery period. They have more attention to slowness, gentle inclinations and relaxation. Such practices help to tune in to peace and end the day gently.

Are all practices related to movement?

Most topics combine movement and observation, breathing and posture. But some sections focus more on mindfulness of state than on active performance. This makes it possible to adapt the practice to any mood or period.
