Class descriptions
Ashtanga yoga
Ashtanga is a physical and dynamic form of yoga with a focus on breathing, body control and concentration. All movements follow a certain order. Ashtanga has its roots in Mysore, southern India. We have different levels of our Ashtanga courses. Read more below about the different classes.
Ashtanga beginners
This course is suitable for those who have not previously practiced Ashtanga Yoga or for those who want to repeat the basics. Here the focus is on getting to know the cornerstones of Ashtanga yoga. During the course we will go through the technique of the sun salutations, the standing positions, some of the sitting and a short end followed by rest. The focus is on starting to find a flow between breath and movement where your breath can lead the movement. You get the opportunity to find the balance between strength, stability and flexibility.
Ashtanga advanced 1 – 2
These classes are suitable for those who have taken a beginner’s course in Ashtanga yoga and want to deepen their understanding of technology, philosophy and breathing. We continue to build on with positions / asanas from the first series with more seated asanas and a longer closing sequence. You continue to build mental and physical strength, deepening your presence and focus on the breath. We are also starting to learn the order of the series of asanas in order to make the series at our own pace, mysore.

Ashtanga Mysore
Mysore is the traditional way to practice Ashtanga yoga. You practice with others at your own pace after your own breathing. Mysore suits everyone because you have the support of the teacher who gives you individual adjustments based on your needs. You also get support and guidance in learning the order of the positions and get new positions from the teacher when you are ready.
To go to Mysore, you need to be able to do the sun salutations on your own and have taken a beginner’s course in Ashtanga yoga.
Hatha yoga
Hatha yoga
Hatha Yoga is a collective name for all yoga that contains physical positions, so pretty much all yoga classes are based on this. Then there are styles that have been developed from it, such as Ashtanga & Vinyasa. In Hatha Yoga, the positions are usually held a few breaths to build strength, endurance and balance body and mind. In Hatha Vinyasa & Flow, we move more in step with our breath. Read more about our different Hatha classes below.
Hatha Yoga Beginners
For you who are completely new to yoga, maybe tried a little or for you who want to go to a class with a slower pace. We go through the most common positions, the breathing exercises but also the basics of philosophy & meditation.
Hatha Vinyasa 1
A natural continuation for you who have taken one or 2 beginner courses in Hatha yoga. We build on what we went through in the beginner course and add more pranayama techniques (breathing techniques), meditations & asanas. We also begin to move more in different sequences of positions as we breathe.
Hatha Vinyasa 2 – 3
A continuation for you who have attended Hatha yoga and Hatha vinyasa for a long time or who have taken the Hatha Vinyasa 1 course and want to go deeper into your practice. The course is also suitable for you who want a more flowing pace. The course is based on the participant getting to meet different themes e.g. Hip Opener, Balances and Strength / Technology. We meet the challenges playfully and without value. Through the help of the breath, we find strength, agility and inner well-being. The classes are spiced with pranayama, philosophy and meditation.
Hatha Flow
A class based on Hathayoga’s positions but where we move through the positions in step with the breath in different sequences. This class varies depending on the theme from more calm to more dynamic. The class also includes pranayama & meditation.
Embodied Hatha Flow
A class similar to Hatha Flow that includes pranayama and meditation but where the class varies depending on the theme of the day, sometimes a calmer flow, sometimes a more dynamic flow containing more challenging positions. We also use various somatic tools, tantric philosophy and sometimes even more free movement both on and off the mat.
This class is influenced by Embodied Flow ™
SOFT yoga
Yin yoga
Yin yoga is calm and meditative with a lot of focus on breathing. Each position is held for a long time and the body’s connective tissue, joints and ligaments are affected. Yin yoga also improves circulation.
Restorative yoga
Restorative is a calm and meditative yoga form where body and mind can rest in comfortable, relaxing positions. With the help of bolsters, pillows, blocks and blankets, all the muscles of the body can get maximum relaxation, which gives a deep rest and recovery and strengthens the nervous system. Each position is performed lying down or sitting for a long time (10-15 min). This form of yoga has an enormous ability to heal stress-related physical and mental symptoms. It is also very helpful for those who have a chronic illness, or are recovering from certain injuries.
