Yoga & Bodywork

Vinyasa Flow - Yin

Yoga Classes & Retreats

It has been 12 years since I first started teaching yoga, a journey that has taken me across the world, leading classes, workshops, and retreats in many different places.

Today, my yoga and bodywork sessions are woven into the retreats and events I facilitate, where we have the time and space to truly dive deep.

Bodywork

In my classes we explore the bodies natural way of moving and we try to find a lightness in our practice. I work a lot with waving and rolling through the spine and moving with grace and fluidity. I want to invite you to feel into your own body and move from deeply felt sensation. Rather than forcing your body into shapes, you will allow movements to express themselves freely and yoga postures to arise based on what your body needs.

In some of my Yoga classes and private sessions I work with therapy balls to help identify and release areas in the body that are tight, overused or underused. This is a myo fascial release tecnique that works on the parasympathetic nervous system, calming the mind and the body.

“Yoga is about empowerment. As teachers it is important that we are guiding our students towards their own experience. This is what true embodiment means”

Yin Yoga

Yin is a more passive form of yoga opposite to the more dynamic forms of yoga such as Vinyasa Flow. Instead of focusing on lengthening and strengthening the muscles, we focus on the joints and the deeper connective tissues like the fascia and the ligaments.
My Yin classes are very meditative, and there is space to completely dive into your inner world. We will work through a series of postures that are held for a long time, about 2-7 minutes. Although Yin Yoga is a simple practice, it is not an easy one and it can be very challenging for the body and the mind because we have to slow down, let go and accept our bodies. By enhancing the flow of Prana, we work through blockages in the body that can store old emotions.

We all need to be centered, balanced and whole. For our bodies to stay healthy and in balance we need the Yin as much as the Yang.

Vinyasa Yoga

Coming from a background in modern dance, I see my own yoga practice as one flowing movement sequence, rather than separate postures. For me, the transitions from one posture to another are as important as the postures themselves. This dynamic way of practicing keeps the inner focus throughout the yoga classes and is a quality that I wish to share with my students. In my Flow classes all the movements are connected. There is a constant pulsing of the body, the movement never stops and therefore brings you into a meditative state.
