I offer a range of practices designed to support both physical vitality and inner clarity. Each style serves a somewhat different purpose. Some are more on the Yang and strengthen the body, while others invite deep relaxation and introspection.
Some practices are more active, energizing, and “solar”, while others are soft, receptive, and “lunar.” We often gravitate toward what feels more intuitive and easy to us. Some people will struggle with Yin Yoga and gravitate towards more strong powerful practises such as Ashtanga, Jivamukti or Power Yoga. I believe that real growth comes from allowing our tendencies and preferences but also actively exploring all sides of our character. This means also sometimes going to a Yin class even if you enjoy Power Vinyasa more.
All of them should guide you towards getting to know yourself better, becoming more mindful of the present moment and feeling more vitality in life.
Hatha Yoga
Hatha Yoga is a traditional practice with ancient roots, described in texts such as the Hatha Yoga Pradipika from the 15th century. While often interpreted today as simply holding postures for longer, its essence lies in working with the breath to influence the body’s subtle energy systems.
In my classes, we explore:
- Pranayama (breathwork) to support the flow of energy through the body
- Bandhas (energy locks) such as mula bandha (root lock), uddiyana bandha (abdominal lock), and jalandhara bandha (throat lock)
- Focused awareness sometimes using chakras as attention anchors
- Kriya techniques from Kundalini Yoga
The asanas (postures) are held longer, allowing time for:
- Alignment and adjustments
- Deep physical and mental awareness
- Integration between movements
Intention:
To leave you feeling both energized and calm, with a clear and focused mind.
Typical Class Structure:
- Introduction & pranayama – 10 minutes
- Sun salutations – 15 minutes
- Asana practice – 25 minutes
- Cool down & savasana – 10 minutes
Vinyasa Yoga
Vinyasa Yoga is a dynamic, flowing practice where movement is synchronized with the breath—specifically the Ujjayi (ocean) breath.
In these classes, you can expect:
- Continuous, flowing sequences linking breath and movement
- Shorter holds, with occasional deeper stretches
- A focus on specific areas of the body (e.g. core, chest, hips)
- Repetition of sequences to create a meditative rhythm
A common sequence you’ll encounter:
Chaturanga → Upward Dog → Downward Dog
Intention:
To build strength, flexibility, and focus through fluid movement and breath awareness.
Yin Yoga
Yin Yoga is a slow, meditative practice where postures are held for longer periods (1–4 minutes). The focus is not on muscles, but on the deeper myofascial tissues.
This practice includes:
- Long, passive holds
- Minimal guidance to encourage inward focus
- Gentle breath awareness techniques
- A calm atmosphere with subtle music
Each posture becomes a small meditation, allowing:
- The mind to slow down
- Attention to rest on specific areas of the body
- Deep release and relaxation
Sometimes, sessions may end with Yoga Nidra, a guided relaxation technique.
Intention:
To restore balance, release tension, and cultivate deep inner stillness.
Conscious Connected Breathwork
This is a powerful breathing practice that uses continuous, rhythmic breathing accompanied by music.
Similar in style to methods like the Wim Hof technique, but without pauses between breaths, this practice can:
- Access the subconscious mind
- Release stored emotions
- Support emotional processing and clarity
My personal experience:
This practice has been deeply transformative and freeing, and I hold it as a powerful tool for inner work.
Typical 2-hour session:
- Introduction – 30 minutes
- Guided breathwork journey – 60 minutes
- Integration (tea & optional sharing) – 30 minutes
Preparation:
- Avoid eating 2–3 hours before
- Keep your schedule clear for 1–2 hours after
- Bring a journal for reflection
