Dear yoga friends!

Your wish is my command and I will share a special mix of two very different forms of Yoga. Namely Ashtanga & Yin yoga! Happening this Sunday 4th of August from 11:00 – 12:15 @ de Nieuwe Sint Jansstraat 35.

We will start with the opening chant of Ashtanga yoga to continue to go through the warming up, an active sequence of the Ashtanga Surya Namaskar A + B and some of the standing/balancing postures. To continue with a pranayama Sama Vritti before we move into a Yin yoga practice.

Yin refers to the feminine energy within us, and it balances ‘Yang’, the masculine energy in all of us. Yin Yoga is a slow paced yoga style with asanas that are held for a more extended period between 2-7 minutes as compared to other styles. It helps the practitioner move from the sympathetic nervous system to the parasympathetic nervous system. This means that you move away from your fight or flight response towards relaxation.

For this class we will use a lot of props. Most important is your yoga mat and comfortable clothes. Then we will also use two blocks, a belt and a blanket. If you have your own, please bring them and otherwise we have some extra to share.

After class there is the option to hang around for a cup of tea. I invite you to arrive even 15 minutes early to set up your space and props.

This class is suitable for all regardless of yoga experience, we welcome beginners and dedicated practitioners alike. The class is donation based, via cash or tikkie, and your donation supports the growth of our community. However, we encourage your participation even if donation is not possible for you right now. And please invite anybody that could benefit from a yoga practice to join this class.

I hope to see many of you on Sunday!

Namaste 🙏🏻
Christa 🧘🏼
