Yoga to calm down & de-stress

It’s important to find moments to de-stress so you can feel balanced in your entire body and cultivate a more positive and calm outlook on life. Yin and Restorative Yoga classes help us to relax and reduce stress and anxiety.

Weekly class
Yin Yoga

Yin Yoga

In a Yin Yoga class seated and lying down postures are held for 3-5 minutes. While the muscles are relaxed, the connective tissue in the body is stimulated by the specific poses. Yin Yoga combines the knowledge of Hatha Yoga with Chinese Medicine's meridians, Taoist philosophy and Buddhist meditation techniques. Yin Yoga has a positive effect on the organs, immune system, muscles and joints.

Weekly class
Restorative Yoga

Restorative Yoga

Restorative Yoga uses props, like blocks and bolsters, to support you in different postures and help the body to relax and let go completely. The class is calm, grounding and restoring. It is highly suitable if you are healing from an injury, dealing with stress or burnout or want to relax deeply.

Yoga for balance & stability

Yoga can help you improve your balance and stability both mentally and physically - and both are equally important. Hatha and Yin Yang classes will encourage moments of equanimity in your everyday life.

Weekly class
Hatha Yoga

Hatha Yoga

Hatha Yoga is a traditional yoga method that includes postures (Asana), breathing exercises (Pranayama), Meditation, Chanting, and hand gestures (Mudra). The emphasis in Hatha Yoga is on balancing body, energy, and mind.

Yin Yang Yoga

Yin Yang Yoga

A Yin Yang Yoga class focuses on relaxing (Yin) and strengthening (Yang). It is a class in which you are both physically challenged and completely relaxed. Where the Yang (Vinyasa) part will focus on strengthening the muscles, the Yin part will focus on relaxing them completely. By balancing your Yin and Yang your energy flow will increase, giving you a peaceful balanced mind and body.

Yoga for better focus & clarity

In order to find mental clarity, we have to train our minds to develop focus. Yoga classes like Pranayama, Meditation, or Yoga Nidra offer techniques you can use to quiet your mind and be more aware of your thoughts and actions.

Weekly class
Yoga Nidra

Yoga Nidra

Yoga Nidra translates to sleep meditation and is a practice of conscious relaxation designed to release held tension in our body, mind and energy field. The practise of Yoga Nidra guides students into a state of deep relaxation, by progressively relaxing and releasing tension from each part of the body. This helps us to feel more open inside and is a great way to reverse the impact of stress.
