YOGA
The center of the universe is everywhere.
VINYASA
In the practice of Vinyasa, we immerse ourselves in a sequence of asanas, where each movement is synchronized with the breath and driven by a conscious intention. Each transition into or out of a posture is connected to either an in-breath or out-breath, while the intention, the core behind our practice, propels the movement onward.
The emphasis lies in harmonizing the movements with the breath, leading us into a state of "meditation in motion". We surrender fully to the practice and inner fluids, quieting the mind to reach a state of stillness in movement.
This approach allows us to break free from viewing the world around us as separate entities and reflects the fluid nature of existence - always moving, ever-changing. Just as natural events unfold seamlessly, so does our Vinyasa practice. By blending breath and intention into the sequence of changes, we align with the perpetual rhythm of the universe.
YIN
Chinese meridian teachings merge with modern medical and psychological insights: Yin yoga. It’s a gentle practice (which I'm personally very inclined to) that invites surrender and softening. We yield into certain postures and hold them for longer periods of time. This allows us not only to find relaxation and nourishment. It encourages us to find a deeper relationship with our bodies, ourselves, with all life that is. It’s about slowing down long enough to listen what is trying to speak to you.
I increasingly bridge the classical with the embodied. By tuning into our senses and intuition, the embodied Yin approach according to Satu Tuomela encourages us to reconnect to our body's natural healing abilities. This practice deepens our understanding of the mind-body connection.
Deep stretching in all layers release tensions, activate blood circulation, moisturize the tissues - even at the organ level - and stimulate the energy flow in our meridians, The calmness of the practice help relax and rewire our nervous system. In a world filled with high-energy moments, it provides a chance to pause, reset, rebalance, and respond authentically as we begin again.
