Slow & Juicy

If you love floor work this class is for you! We spend quite some time working hip joints, spine, legs and abs on the floor before we move slowly into some gentle sun salutations. Great for mornings, but also highly effective when particularly stiff for any reason.

It’s All Around the Pelvis

We start this session with a nice breath-movement sequence that we call 4PTB of Four Part Taoist Breath, designed by my teacher Suzee Grilley. The rest of the class will develop around the pelvis, from the lower spine to the hamstrings, hip flexors/quads, glutes and groins. Overall a very nice and gentle yin yoga class! […]

Yin Detox

This class focuses on long held and passive twists, which will increase the blood flow to the fascia surrounding and supporting the organs. This gentle stimulation may help flush out toxins and increase the absorption of oxygen and nutrients, regenerating the whole system. In my experience, this is a great practice to improve our mood […]

Aparigraha – you can’t always have what you want

You know that feeling: we think we need to keep reaching out to things that will give us pleasure, or a stronger sense of self, or a quick fix for whatever troubles us. The only problem is that it never works for long, and we never seem to find any lasting satisfaction.

Yin before Yang, a nice wake-up call

I just like to start my day with yin poses, using the morning energy, that ‘I’m still sleepy’ mood to stay longer in to the poses, not moving too much yet. And thats exactly what we are doing in this class: we just start with longer-held poses, targeting the upper body. After about 20 minutes […]

From Yang to Yin and Back

In this class we will alternate Yang poses and Yin poses. We will go from ‘active’ stretches and contraction of the muscles into ‘passive’ and longer held poses wherein we relax. A great and maybe not so traditional combination of Yang and Yin yoga.
