Yoga is an ancient practice to reconnect body, mind and soul by building strength, awareness and harmony.  Anybody can practice yoga (you don’t have to be flexible!). Yoga is not about achieving ‘picture-perfect’ poses. With the physical practice we develop more awareness. This way we (re)connect with our bodies and our breath.

In our society the practice of yoga is mainly associated with physical exercise and meditation. The ancient body of techniques contains much more: breath work (pranayama), physical activity (asana), philosophical discussion about ethics and conduct (yama and niyama), withdrawal of the senses (pratyahara), concentration and meditation methods (dharana and dyana), ultimately leading into an overall experience of union (samadhi).  These 8 steps (ashtanga) are the foundation of our yoga programs.

VINYASA FLOW

A dynamic practice in which postures (asanas) are woven into a flow of movement. Practice consists of sun salutations, warrior poses, sequences of forward bends, backbends, twists, balancing postures and inversions.  The focus is on the breath to guide you towards meditation in action; stilling the mind, resting in the body.

Vinyasa flow classes are offered for different levels (years of experience). Each class is ended with a final relaxation (savasana) in which integration of the practice is happening in body and mind.

YANG-YIN

Yang-yin classes are based upon balancing out two main energies in the body. Yang is a driver behind outwards going action, movement, ambition, going forward.

In yang yoga we work physically mainly on the level of muscular activity. Yin yoga focuses on the deeper layers of connective tissues in the body. Classes are ended with a final relaxation (savasana).

SOFT FLOW

Soft flow classes focus on calming the nervous system and releasing stress in the body. Classes start with a gentle flow of movements in which postures (asanas) are sequenced in a very natural way. There is a lot of attention to the flow of breath during movements to stimulate the meditative aspect of the practice.

Gradually you are guided into longer held postures from the style of ‘restorative yoga’, in which we allow the self-healing qualities of the body to do their work. Classes are ended with a final relaxation (savasana).

BREATHWORK & MEDITATION

Breathwork & meditation classes are based upon the tradition of pranayama (literally: ‘allowing the flow of prana – life energy – to flow freely’). Through breath exercises we remove patterns in our breathing that might have caused a restraint in the natural flow of breath. We (re)open some of the main energy channels (nadis) and create more breath awareness.
