Are you new to yoga or a beginner?
You’ve come to the right place. This workshop will make yoga classes accessible to everyone who has never done yoga before. It is also for people, who are already practicing and want to deepen their practice and understanding of yoga.
In this yoga workshop I will lead you gently through the foundations of yoga with its different aspects; yoga postures, meditation, pranayama, relaxation, yoga background and yoga for people of today. We will also touch on aspects of healthy nutrition.
After the yoga workshop you will feel confident to visit regular yoga classes and to practice at home. Those of you who are already practicing yoga have the opportunity to learn more about foundations and ideas that are not always explained during a regular yoga class. You will also have the opportunity to ask questions and we will go into the details of basic yoga postures, meditation and pranayama.

Theme of Day 2: We will deepen the practices from the first day. This session focuses more on the energetic aspect of the yoga postures. You will learn energetic principles such as breathing, connecting and rooting during your practice.
