Vinyasa

Vinyasa is a style of yoga where we link poses to the rhytm of the breath.
In a typical Vinyasa class we build up one or several sequences during the class, and we flow through them at the later part of the class. Vinyasa classes are often playful and creative, with focus on transitions and movements, and less time spent in stationary poses.

 
 

Vinyasa Basics

A slower paced Vinyasa flow, with focus and emphasis on transitions between poses. A class if you are new to yoga or wants to take a slower Vinyasa class.

Inside flow

Inside Flow is always pre-choreographed to a specific song. During the class, parts of the sequence are rehearsed to different songs and finally we flow through the entire sequence without interruption to the selected song. The flow is characterized by well-thought-out sequences, creative transitions and lovely music. Because we are in constant motion and move gracefully in transitions, you develop body awareness, strength through stability and mobility to deepen your range of motion over time.

Inside Flow is not for beginners. You don't need to know advanced positions but you are comfortable flowing through a movement to a breath and are familiar with Vinyasa Flow.

Hatha

Hatha yoga is a generic term for any type of yoga that teaches physical postures. Nearly every type of yoga classes taught in the West is Hatha yoga with different variations, such as Vinyasa, Anusara, Ashtanga, Iyengar etc.

Slow flow & breathwork

A delicious blend of slow movement, creative transitioning, breath alchemy and poetry.

Through slow and gentle movements, the first half of the class prioritizes sensation and bridge the gap between reverent ritual and modern day life.

In the second half, we will be weaving the breath like a thread between space and form, body and cosmos, so that we can change the atmosphere inside of our bodies, knock on our hearts and clear our minds.

By oxygenating the body through different practices (rooted in kundalini, classical pranayama, shamanic breath, martial arts and Katonah yoga) breath work moves us into a deeply relaxed and altered state in which we are able to perceive, feel and gently release energy tension and emotions to get to the root of fear, exhaustion or whatever is compromising our breath.

Therapeutic Yoga


Restful classes

These classes are slower, more restful classes.

 
 

Yin yoga

Yin Yoga is a slow-paced yoga style with asanas (postures) that are held for longer periods of time. By relaxing into and holding the poses we stress the connective tissue, with the aim of increasing circulation in the joints and improving flexibility.
We do the poses seated or laying on the floor and we use bolster, blocks and blankest for support.
The sequences of postures are meant to stimulate the channels of the subtle body known as meridians in Chinese medicine.

Embodied Yin™

Embodied Yin™ is where the mystical permeates the mundane. It invites us to explore our multidimensional capacities for healing by listening and sensing with the whole body-mind. It increases awareness of our mind-body connection in each dimension and through different somatic approaches, intuitive movement, classical nondual Tantra, Chinese medicine and Yin yoga, opens up space by helping to release limitations.

In Yin Yoga we create gentle (sometimes more dynamic) long held postures and practice with an attitude of Maitri, loving kindness. The poses stimulate energy flow in meridians, energy channels, restore, rewire and replenish our nervous system.

All levels

Restorative

Restorative yoga is a practice that is all about slowing down. In restorative yoga, props (bolster, blocks, blankets, belts) are used to support your body so you can hold poses for longer periods of time and passively stretching the body.

Restorative poses include light twists, seated forward folds, and gentle backbends. We do only a few poses during the class. The aim of the class is for you to relax deeply, relesae stress and restore enegy.

Yoga nidra

Yoga Nidra is a guided meditation technique that is performed lying down. Nidra means sleep and Yoga Nidra is often called the sleepless sleep when we are taken into a state between wakefulness and sleep where the body goes into a deep form of relaxation, while keeping the mind focused and awake.

An example of exploring the extremes of activation and relaxation.
