Hatha & meditation

This class is taught in English when need be.

The focus of the class is to create mindfulness through different techniques.

1st part, approx. 30 minutes: We begin with movement through gentle sequences of postures that help liberating the breath and prefare the body to sit with pranayama (breath work) and in meditation. We will alternate between flow and longer holds of postures to allow us to investigate how we relate habitually to our circumstances.

2nd part, approx. 60 minutes: The teacher will guide you through various pranayama and meditation techniques, focusing on building concentration and with time more insight. Questions are welcome towards the end of class, which will also include a short talk to support the practice. The talk will be inspired by yoga and buddhist philosophy as well as western psychology and science.

No intro course is needed to join.

Special care will be given to new students every first Tuesday of the month. Please, talk to the teacher about your background. Some experience with yoga and meditation is an advantage; knowledge of the ujjayi breath (e.g. from our Ashtanga vinyasa yoga classes) and some Hatha yoga, too.
