Our Classes
It's your practice.
Don't you forget it.
The practice on the mat is a mirror of our own lives, a useful tool on life’s journey. There is no separation between practice and life, there is just union; yoga.
We offer a diverse range of classes from beginner to advanced. But we never forget it’s YOUR practice. We want you to feel at ease while surrounded by kindness in our beautiful space. All our classes concentrate on keeping the practice safe, finding healthy alignment in synchronicity with breathing, discovering strength from a place within rather than from using force. We aim in creating balance, mental focus, flexibility, and strength, while relieving stress.
The practice invites us to be present and focused. It leads us to be, to stay humble and compassionate, to learn every day to live fully.

Ashtanga Yoga
Mon 18:30 – 20:00 (level 1 of 2)
Wed 18:45 – 20:15 (level 2 of 2)
Level 1:
This beginner-friendly class follows the Ashtanga Vinyasa method, guiding you through part of the Primary Series (Yoga Chikitsa), which is known for its therapeutic benefits.
We will practice the standing, seated, and closing postures at a slower pace, focusing on integrating breath, posture, and gaze to cultivate steadiness, calmness, and awareness of both body and mind.
Most importantly, we will use the practice to cultivate love, kindness, and acceptance, recognising that yoga is a reflection of life, where there is no separation—only union.
Level 2:
This class follows the Ashtanga Vinyasa method and is ideal for students familiar with the standing sequence. We will use the breath, gaze, and both external and internal postures to explore the primary series, following the traditional Sanskrit count.
If you’re new to Ashtanga Yoga, we recommend starting with the Ashtanga Level 1 class on Mondays.
The practice will purify the body, nervous system, and mind, enhancing balance, strength, flexibility, and mental focus, while relieving stress.
This class may include inversions, arm balances, and backbends.

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.
