Exploring Ashtanga Yoga ๑ Backbends & Core

Yoga is the path of exploring duality and union. Externally we are constantly confronted with duality, however, internally we have a constant yearning for union.

As human beings, we are literally divided between mind and spirit. Some feel a very strong call to unite these, or at least get them to work together.

But what if we see this division as a blessing? We have the intellectual and intuitive capacity and it might be our birthright and responsibility to explore and develop these two aspects of our being. In the process, we might start to understand ourselves better and develop a sense of satisfaction for life and its mysteries.

Yoga practice is our possibility to explore these concepts. We are simultaneously seer and participant in the expression of union and duality through breath, movement, observation, and reflection.

Yoga practice allows us to concretely explore, observe, and understand the different aspects of life and being in a down to earth and tangible way.

This is my invitation to you, to come and explore with me.

In these classes, we will look at different aspects of Ashtanga Yoga through concentration, breathing, and physical exercises. If practiced continuously, over a long period of time, these will allow you to develop the intellectual & intuitive knowledge you need to become a more independent yoga practitioner, building towards a life long personal yoga practice & journey.

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.
