ASHTANGA INSPIRED FLOW
This class takes form using the Ashtanga Vinyasa method. Starting from this solid foundation, using the breath, the gaze, and both the outward and internal postures of the body, we will explore different asanas safely and progressively following the principles of vinyasa. This practice will help to purify the body, nervous system, and mind. It will make space to build and create balance, strength, flexibility, endurance, breathing capacity, and mental focus, while relieving stress. Most importantly, we will use the practice as a method to go deeper within ourselves, seeking love, kindness and acceptance. This class is suitable for beginner yoga practitioners. It may include some simple inversions, arm balances, and backbends.

YIN YANG YOGA
A Yin Yang class blends two complementary styles of yoga to create balance in the body and mind. The class begins with Yang yoga, featuring active, heat-building movements like sun salutations and standing poses that energize and strengthen the body. It then transitions into Yin yoga, where longer-held, passive stretches target deeper connective tissues, promoting flexibility and relaxation, encouraging relaxation, flexibility, and inner stillness, often holding poses for 3-5 minutes. Throughout the class, mindfulness and breathwork are emphasized, helping participants find harmony between effort and relaxation. This combination of dynamic and meditative practices leaves you feeling both revitalized and calm, making it suitable for all levels.

YIN YANG YOGA
Nicola teaches in German and English (if requested).
Deutsch
Jede Klasse schafft eine bewusste Verbindung zwischen Körper und Geist, beginnend mit dem Fokus auf den Atem als lebensspendende Energie. Yin Yoga ist eine sanfte und tiefgreifende Praxis, die den Körper durch das längere Halten von Asanas in eine umfassende Entspannung führt. Dabei werden das Fasziengewebe und die Meridiane gezielt angesprochen. Diese Praxis fördert den Energiefluss im Körper und schafft ein harmonisches Gleichgewicht, innere Ruhe und Ausgeglichenheit. Gleichzeitig erinnert sie dich an die Weisheit deines Körpers und seine enge Verbindung zu den Elementen der Natur. Während du in den Posen verweilst, hast du die Möglichkeit, Verspannungen loszulassen und in eine tiefe Selbstwahrnehmung einzutauchen. Du wirst darin bestärkt deinem Körper und deiner eigenen Intuition zu vertrauen.
English:
Each class creates a conscious connection between body and mind, starting with a focus on the breath as life-giving energy. Yin Yoga is a gentle yet profound practice that guides the body into deep relaxation through the extended holding of asanas. This practice specifically targets the fascia and meridians, promoting the flow of energy in the body and fostering a harmonious balance, inner peace, and tranquility. At the same time, it reminds you of the wisdom of your body and its close connection to the elements of nature. As you settle into the poses, you have the opportunity to release tension and dive into deeper self-awareness. You are encouraged to trust your body and your own intuition.
with Sarah Mai
20:00 - 21:30
HATHA FLOW
BOOK HERE
Sarah emphasises practicing mindfully and listening to the body’s intuitive feedback. In her classes, she always refers back to an awareness of the breath. Yoga shall not merely ground and strengthen, but support us to find a peaceful path to our inner essence. She shares her philosophical understanding of yoga with her students, inviting them to lead their awareness from the mind into the space of the heart and to reside in that space.
FRIDAY
POSTNATAL YOGA COURSE
with Carla Araos
10:45 - 11:45
POSTNATAL YOGA COURSE WITH OR WITHOUT BABIES
BABIES ARE MOST WELCOME!
→ SEE MORE POSTNATAL DATES ← The key for postnatal recovery is consistency, but we understand that planning with small babies is not always easy, so it is possible to book each session separately.
The Postnatal class is in a smaller setting than a regular class, it is a semi-private group with a maximum of 9 participants. In this way, mums and babies have space to be comfortable and mums get a more personalised class that focuses on effective alignment and adjustments to ease their postnatal recovery.
Postnatal Yoga offers support on a physical level, helping your body to recover and regain strength after birth in the pelvic floor region, abdominal wall and back. It helps to release the neck, shoulders and upper back. On a mental level, postnatal yoga helps you to relax and feel more grounded. Group classes also provide an opportunity to meet other mums and create a community.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE STUDIO ACCESS IS NOT SUITABLE FOR LARGE PUSHCHAIRS (there is a narrow staircase and no lift. However, if you have a smaller stroller or collapsable one, this can easily be brought inside).
