Example of Classes
Hatha yoga
Classical Hatha yoga, the most famous style of yoga. The static positions of Hatha yoga build strength and flexibility in the muscles. These postures are combined with breathing and visualization exercises as well as a short meditation to achieve balance in body and mind. In Sanskrit, the syllable ‘ha’ means sun, male energy and yang. ‘tha’ means moon, female energy and yin. Hatha yoga is said to balance the sun and moon energies.
Gong Meditation
Healing sounds of gongs during lying meditation. Experience how tensions release, your body and mind become calmer.
Yoga Nidra meditation
A lying down meditation where you allow your body to fully relax. A meditation class suitable for everyone, whether you have meditated before or not.
Yin yoga
A soft form of yoga where we do not work anything muscular but only with stretch and connective tissue. Each position is held for several minutes to create stillness in the body and to access the connective tissue. Yin stands for softness and stillness, in this class we relax and accept the present.
Mindfulness
Mindfulness is a meditation in conscious presence. We work with a variety of techniques to bring attention to the present moment. This is the meditation technique that has been most researched and approved as an effective treatment method in healthcare.
Yoga Nidra
Yoga Nidra is a meditative deep relaxation where your body is allowed to rest and recover while your mind is awake. A technique to explore and rest in the borderland between wakefulness and sleep.
Vinyasa
Vinyasa means breath-synchronized movement. In this class, breathing interacts with positions to create a dynamic flow. Each position flows in unison with the breath. The class can vary from a slow and gentle flow to a dynamic and sweaty session.
LymphYoga
Lymphatic yoga is more than just movement – it’s a way to increase your wellbeing through breath and movement. During these classes we will, among other things, do self-massage and movements that help to support the lymph and speed up the lymph flow. The class is for everyone who wants a functioning lymphatic system and increased well-being.
