“Don’t adapt yourself to yoga, adapt yoga to yourself” - Krishnamacharya

This practice looks slow to the outer eye. There’s less happening outside, but more happening inside. This class is gentle, but deep. We explore our unique edges releasing resistance; we become more tolerant and flexible. We respect our bodies as they are, and their intelligence. Learn simple, but powerful ways to increase flexibility, build strength, and reduce stress. This class is suitable for seniors, for seasoned practitioners and beginners.

In Yoga Nidra, you rest comfortably lying down. It is a guided meditation experience that takes you into a state between wakefulness and sleep. The effect is that you’ll be rejuvenated and renewed with no effort. All you do is lie down and listen. Even if you drift off, your subconscious is listening. It’s said that an hour of Yoga Nidra gives the benefit of four hours of deep sleep. Give yourself the gift of profound rest! Before we lie down, we’ll do a few simple stretches. Everyone welcome!
