Health is a lifestyle
What is Yoga?
There are many definitions of Yoga. Philosophically we find many interpretations of old texts and Gurus. Literally the word Yoga is derived from the Sanskrit root "Yuj" that means "to join" "to unite".
​
Nevertheless one thing is for sure. To practice Yoga is not just to practice Asanas. Yoga allows us to transcend the physical body in order to understand and learn about our minds, our emotions, values and everything that defines us. Not only at an intrapersonal but also at an interpersonal level.
Cacao - Yin Yoga - Klang
Partner yoga is a wonderful form of connecting with each other.
​
Here, each partner has an equal opportunity to explore the asana and their own body more deeply on the one hand and to be a support for the other on the other. A loving process of receiving and giving.
​
In this course, we want to give you the opportunity to try out the exercises for yourself and get to know them. At the same time, we will provide background information on when and how they can be combined or used. There will be an accompanying training booklet with lots of pictures and exercises.
​
This training is aimed at anyone who works with people or groups of people and can use new tools to teach these groups confidence, courage, movement, fun and loving communication in a heartfelt way. In addition to learning how to do the asanas in pairs, threes or even fours, we also teach games and movement sequences for connecting in larger teams. The body can be a good access point to reach deeper layers of interpersonal togetherness.
​
Here you can find all the information (content, daily schedule, who it is suitable for, who teaches, etc.)

Vinyasa Yoga with Mark (in Englisch)
Vinyasa is a Sanskrit name composed of the terms "Vi", which refers to the positioning of the body in a particular context, and "Nyasa", which is one of the meditative states that promote concentration on a point and subsequent "liberation". Vinyasa yoga thus focuses on movement and transitions.
​
Mark's classes make you feel centered, aware of your body and engaged with the practice. In his classes he leads you through a progressive flow that leaves no one behind. He also gently invites you to more challenging asanas and the best way to build them.

Yin Yoga with Linda/Anna (in German)
Yin Yoga is a very meditative practice that is a blend of traditional Chinese medicine and yoga asana. This calm variation of yoga helps you relax and let go. The exercises are held between 3-5 minutes to reach and work the deeper fascia. The connective tissues are stimulated and through long held stretches, blockages can be released. The nervous system calms down. Yin Yoga is a perfect balance to the stressful everyday life.
​
​
Yin Yoga helps us to relax and let go. Doing nothing. Through this passive being we come into receiving and thereby refuel our power reserves.
​
​
This class is led by Linda and Anna alternately. Every Wednesday from 19:30 to 20:45.

Yin and Yang Yoga with Ingrid (in English)
I invite you to recharge and reconnect with yourself to start your week in the best way possible. In my classes you will find a balanced combination of holding positions to breathe into each asana (Yin Yoga style) and also using the breath to find your flow (Vinyasa style). So in this 90-minute class we will work with breathing and meditation techniques and from there we will start building different asanas. Sometimes embracing the present moment through stillness and sometimes through movement. One of my passions is to show you that everybody can do yoga. You don't need to be flexible or strong to join. That comes with time and consistency. There are always variations and different ways to approach the practice in general and every asana in particular. There are as many different Yogas styles as people in the room.

Visit Ingrid's class every Sunday 18:00 - 19:30

Privatstunde mit Ingrid (in German, English or Spanish)
Sometimes people have specific goals, such as relaxing the upper back, improving shoulder mobility, opening the hips, etc. Some people prefer more powerful classes, while others prefer slower classes to fully experience each asana.
Sometimes a person needs something different in each class.
For a practice that is all about you and your needs, a private yoga class might be the right solution.
