Yoga ๑ Live Piano ๑ Poetry
When you relax and open up, you can feel connected and inspired.
Lu Jong, Tibetan yoga, is a form of Meditation in Movement; it opens up our body, our heart and our mind.
When we are open, we feel connected, not only to ourselves but also to nature and to other living beings. Sometimes we feel as if ideas are 'given' to us, from somewhere in the universe or from deep down inside of us.
Lu Jong helps us to release tension in our body and in our mind. With special movements and breathing exercises we open up our channels and release blocks. Relaxation helps us to let go of fear, grasping, and effort. The way we breathe is very much connected to the way we think. Lu Jong uses bodywork as vehicle to calm down our thoughts and emotions.
This way we can feel more space for new possibilities and inspiration.
About Ninon Van Der Sande:
Ninon learned about the connection of body and mind from a Tibetan Buddhist Master, Tulku Lobsang.
Ninon is an artist whose sculptures and paintings, celebrating nature, are spread over different countries in the world. She feels a connection with Buddhist philosophy of the interdependency of all that exists. When we observe our own mind, we might find some space between thoughts, where creativity can be born.
In this event we will do a series of Lu Jong Movements, a breathing exercise, and in the end we will relax and Ninon will play the piano while citing some of her poems.
The more you go away from your own place
The better you know it
The more you open up
The better you know yourself
The more you can admire an animal
The better you can see truth
The more you can see there are miracles
The livelier you live
At first it all seems a lot
But little by little
All becomes one

GOOD TO KNOW
» The check-in closes 2 minutes before the start of each class with no exceptions. Make sure that you’re 10 minutes early to be able to enter, avoid queues and enjoy our classes.
» Please keep a 1,5-meter distance at all times and bring your own towel to cover the props.
» No face masks during class. We don’t allow face masks in our classrooms since it’s not safe to do your practice wearing one.
» Come fully dressed to ensure easy entry & exit. You can leave your belongings in our dressing rooms, but changing and showering are not permitted.
» We don't allow cell phones & bags in our sacred spaces. You are welcome to leave any valuable items secured at our reception desk.
» About clean air at the club: We have a wonderful ventilation system that constantly refreshes the air inside our building. We also use humidifiers! This means aerosols cannot travel outside of your mat, as all the water in the airflow weighs the air molecules down. That makes us a super safe space to be in!
» Dress warmly. The weather is getting colder, and ventilation in our classrooms means it can get a bit chilly. Make sure you’re dressed accordingly.
» We don't do refunds. You can cancel a class up to 8 hours before the start time in order to use your ticket again. In case of a later cancellation, you will be charged. Please be mindful when you book a spot as we have limited space available.
