Good morning yoga friends! This Tuesday 18th June 2024 at 19:00 (the date on the flyer is wrong), we will have a hatha-based yoga class at Nieuwe Sint Jansstraat 35. In this class we will continue our theme from Sunday. We will practice taking inspiration from ocean waves to guide our breath and movement.

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 continuation of our community. However, we encourage your participation even if donation is not possible for you right now. For this class please bring your yoga mat, and a yoga block or two if you have them. Afterwards you are welcome to stay for a cup of tea.

Bring a friend for bonus yoga points! See you then Saoirse 🍀

Good morning everyone!

I invite you to join me this Sunday 16th June at 11:00-12:00 at Nieuwe Sint Jansstraat 35 for a slow flow yoga class.

‘Slow flow’ is a format where we move through a sequence more (surprise) slowly! We spend more time in each asana and slowing down our breath to a meditative rhythm. Longer holds challenge our inner strength and deepen our knowledge of asana. The class is suitable for all levels, adjustments and modifications will be offered where necessary. We will also practice simple pranayama, and enjoy a soundbowl meditation during savasana. After you are welcome to stay for a cup of tea and chat.

For this class you need only your mat and a yoga block (if you have one, if not its no problem, we have blocks for you to use). This class is donation-based, your contribution helps us to keep this community going, and every little helps. If a donation is not possible for you at this time, please let us know and we will accommodate you!

Invite a friend (or two) to help us grow our community! See you on Sunday!
