The warrior that moves like an animal

Yang and Yin functional movement galore. In this class we’ll flow, combining animal movements (bear, mongoose, walking dragon) with warriors, side planks and pushups. We could say “yoga body conditioning” ending like most classes with yin yoga to slow down again.

Belly Power

Many of us shy away from core work, but I am a true believer of strong belly – kind heart – peaceful mind trio. This is a bit of a creative sequence, with lots of movements you know, meant to leave you feeling powerful, happy and calm.  The few stretches at the end help too.

Circum coxae iuncturam: around the hip

Circum coxae iuncturam, fancy Latin for: around the hip joint. In this very short 10 min class we move all the structures around the hip joints, stretching the muscles around and lubricating the hip joints themselves. It’s the ideal class to do in a short break or right after work when you where sitting for […]

Strength Through Calmness

Being strong is so much more than a muscle thing; sometimes it’s daring to take the difficult road, even if we stumble and fall. And always, calmness makes strength become a deeply empowering virtue and not simply a flashy condition. Hear me huff and puff, but go through it all.

Stimulating Manipura and Anahata chakra

In this class we stimulate Manupura and Anahata chakra on a gentle Yin and Yang way. These two chakras are both more or less in the middle of the spine. We’ll move and activate that part of the body to stir up the energy. On a physical level Manipura chakra rules the digestive system and […]

Flowing in the Wind

After a warm-up we get into a creative flow, working all the muscles of the torso to explore the weightless quality of the leaves and flags in the wind. And of course the dragon has got to fly and land and fly again in the wind. Delicious yin stretches to calm and ground wrap up […]

Easy Yin Yang flow

I was inspired by Martha for the “on your knees” sun salutations. This is a very easy Yang followed by Yin yoga class, for everyone. you’ll probably need a blanket or something to pad your knees since we are standing on them for a bit.

Yes You Can

A practice focused on strength and stamina, but completely open for adaptation and modification. More than physical strength, we need to exercise our will power to expand our boundaries and challenge our comfort zones. We first do the movements slowly and calmly, so you have the time to adapt to your own body and pace. […]

Fluid Power

This is a full body strength practice, using focus and control as a basis for all the work. We start with a long and mindful warm up on the floor and build our way slowly into a few powerful flows. The pace is not too fast so we can keep fluid and focused throughout. A […]

All About our Heart and Hips

Even though we call a lot of poses heart and hip openers, what does that mean? For me heart opening poses are stretches for the front of the chest, however my focus could be on the physical/emotional heart, and I might want to move the energy in that area. Hip openers are vague as well, […]

Gentle Healing Practice

Coming back to the mat after feeling sick or for any other reason can be discouraging and difficult. This practice helps us give the body the gentle shower of kindness and regeneration we so need. We take time to let the body find its way slowly and give spine, thorax and lungs renewed chi.

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 […]

Bending like a willow in a gentle breeze

In this class we start by preparing the body for a series of gentle asymmetrical backbends, followed by a series of standing asymmetrical backbend poses in a more ‘Yang’ fashion. We finish with some Yin or floor poses. We know that backbends are very beneficial for the spine, the ‘intervertebral’ discs. The stimulation of the fluid […]

Happy New Year!

In this class we say goodbye to the old year with some nice yin poses, to stretch away the stress of the last year, the laziness of the holidays and to prepare our minds and bodies for what’s to come. A nice flow, just to start up, to activate ourselves enough for what’s to come. […]

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.
