Calling all warriors for practice! This class is all built around strength and courage, and the idea that those are inner qualities we want to manifest in our bodies and our lives. You’ll need determination and honesty, and as always, some sense of humor to go through this training. Warriors are fierce and kind, and […]
Playing with balance on our feet and our hands, this class challenges our capacity to find balance and the possibility of flight in all kinds of circumstances. Struggling is part of it, as is falling and making a bit of a mess. I believe that feeling awkward and foolish can be a great exercise as […]
In this prenatal class we are working the whole body. It’s a gentle yoga class, accessible for all pregnant women in all stages of pregnancy. Marcel is leading this class and Jessica is demonstrating! If you are pregnant and in your last semester, realise that the size of your belly can restrict you in certain […]
This is a workout kind of class, focusing on developing strength and stability in the body. I find that feeling strong and powerful has a huge influence on my mood, and has a much longer lasting effect then feeling aesthetically beautiful. It’s my go to practice when I need a strong workout but don’t have […]
This class is all about finding your own capacity for support and sustainability. We spend a lot of energy expecting the world and other people to provide us with support, but if we can feel that we can provide it for ourselves, our whole approach changes. We can now find our own balance and stand […]
In this very short class we target the hamstrings, the muscles on the back of the thighs. Hamstrings can be tight for a lot of people, not only men, but women as well. Tight hamstrings occur a lot after a physical workout, like running, biking, playing soccer, tennis or hockey. Sports in which you use your […]
These 25 minutes are packed with movement to strengthen your core and open your heart, a great combination to prepare us for life: we have the strength to deal with whatever comes and the openness to embrace our path. Expect to move and maybe sweat a little, and a short meditation at the end reminds […]
Happy Holidays everybody! This is a little gift for all warriors of peace out there, be they Christian, Muslims, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus, Atheist, Agnostics, Shinto or any other belief system my ignorance has left out. May we all be able to accept every challenge in humbleness and courage, and spend our lives making ourselves and […]
This class challenges body and mind to stay calm and focused in all kinds of different situations. The poses themselves are not so difficult, but we work intensely on coordination and balance.  This class helps develop determination and purpose, and leaves you incredibly centred, even when you wobble 🙂
We start with the story about Asthavakra. The sage who was born with eight different deformities of the body, and who was so intelligent that he saved his father and grandfather in a philosophical debate. We build this class up to the actual pose: Ashtavakrasana. Know that you never have to preform the pose, however […]
In this short and very intense class we combine cardiovascular exercises from other disiplines with our yoga poses. We will do: planking, military pushups, mountain climbers and (modified) burpees. All to raise your hartbeat and to let you sweat! You’ll probably need a towel, and yes, drink loads of water after class! Enjoy!
This is one of my favourites, a complete body and intention practice, opening both the front and the back of the body, especially nice for days when you are short on time but need to open and energise everything. The most challenging part of the class is the coordination between front and back of mat, […]
