Ashtanga inspired Vinyasa
Translated from Sanskrit the term Ashtanga means “the eight limbs of yoga.” The eight limbs were first outlined in the Yoga Sutras by Patanjali, an ancient text on the theory and practice of yoga. These limbs make up the eightfold path, a set of guidelines for living a yogic life. The third limb addresses the asanas or yoga postures, the physical part of practice. The sequence in an Ashtanga class is fix and the postures are always in the same order. In addition to the asanas, Ashtanga Yoga places strong emphasis on the seven other yogic limbs and is very much a spiritual as well as physical practice. Despite of its reputation of being a vigorous and challenging yoga “style”, Kathrin is a firm believer of Ashtanga yoga being suitable for all levels, for beginners as well as for those with special conditions and she sees it as her mission as a teacher to make Ashtanga yoga accessible for everyone.
Magnolia Flow
Energize your body and mind with our signature flow that builds strength, flexibility and stamina. Expect a vigorous sequence that will leave you feeling strong, balanced and energized. This class is suitable for all levels with modifications offered for beginners and advanced yogis. Perfect for those who love a challenge.
Flow & Align
We practise Vinyasa Yoga, which means we flow through series of exercises (flows). However, we also hold poses a little longer, which is typical of the Hatha or Asthanga style. Our aim is not so much to follow a particular style, but to adapt the yoga to today's functional needs. Nicole also likes to incorporate the elements, having completed one of her training courses at Element Yoga. The goals for Flow & Align - To strengthen your body awareness - Strengthen your muscles - Train your balance - Improve your mobility and flexibility - Create a time-out in which you do something good for your body and mind - Increase your self-esteem and self-acceptance In each lesson, we arrive in a calm posture, warm up, strengthen and tone up and end the lesson with stretching and a final relaxation (Savasana). We also incorporate breathing exercises and classic fitness exercises into the classes.
Inside Flow
The Inside Flow yoga style is basically based on Vinyasa Flow Yoga. During an Inside Flow class, you move to the beat of the music with flowing movements that transition from one movement to another. The movements include familiar yoga poses, but also transitions that are more dance-like, so Inside Flow has a dance-like feel and is not a pure asana practice. A specific sequence is practiced in a class, which fits perfectly with a particular song. Music is a central theme in Inside Flow, as music has a direct effect on our mood through the largest organ in our body, our skin. That's why Inside Flow is a moving and emotionally touching experience alongside the movement, allowing you to float out of the class with joy and lightness. In a nutshell, Inside Flow is Vinyasa Flow Yoga taught on beat. In the end, the sequence that you work on during the session is perfectly coordinated with a particular song. This also makes the music a very important, central element in Inside Flow.
Relaxing - Stress Relief - Healing
Yin Yoga
In Yin Yoga, we let the body come to rest. The mostly seated or lying exercises (asanas) are held for 3 - 5 minutes, we combine Yin with restorative yoga by using aids so that the muscles can really let go. Yin Yoga is the passive contrast program to dynamic Yang Yoga and also works on the connective tissue, fascia, ligaments and tendons. Through gentle stretching, Yin Yoga helps to relieve muscular tension and ensures greater freedom of movement, more supple joints and more flexible connective tissue and muscles. By stretching the back muscles, the practice can therefore help with back pain. Possible effects of Yin Yoga - Flexibility of the muscles is increased - Energy flows are stimulated - Fasciae and connective tissue become more flexible - Tension can be released - The mind comes to rest - Emotional blockages can be released - The subconscious can come to light In every Yin lesson we start with a short meditation and a long final relaxation (Savasana).
Yoga Nidra
Yoga Nidra, also known as yogic sleep. The aim of deep relaxation is to create access to deeper layers of consciousness. This should make it possible to completely relax mentally, emotionally and physically. Participants lie down on the mat for the lesson or adopt a relaxed sitting posture. One of the aims of Nidra Yoga is to enable practitioners to perceive themselves differently, allowing participants to recover from daily stress. Participants can focus more on their own goals and become more stress-resistant. The practice of Nidra Yoga enables participants to start their daily lives refreshed and focused. Possible effects of Yoga Nidra -Reduced irritability - Improved stress resilience - Better mental receptivity - Deeper sleep - Improved ability to concentrate - Inner peace - Physical well-being The release of stress hormones is lower with regular exercise. The immune system can work more stably. Yoga Nidra can help you if you want to deal with stress better or if your thoughts are often racing, you can't sleep or if you are unable to concentrate. It helps you to find your center again when you are restless.
