Dynamic yoga


Meditation Intensive


Yin yoga In-Depth
 Dynamic yoga is an accessible and comprehensive learning method which encompasses the keys to yoga posture, pranayama and meditation practice.

In this 3-week course you'll be introduced to the basic principles, postures and movements to practice a dynamic style of yoga safely, effectively and progressively.

Through practical, clear instruction you are guided to discover and learn about the body’s  intelligence, capacities and limitations.
* Thu 07, 14 + 21 June; 20:30-22:00
  ++suitable for beginners as well++
Being in a meditative state is about pointing your awareness inwards and focussing on the processes that involve thinking, doing, interpreting, judging and identifying. This focus will enable you to observe and see through the patterns that dominate these processes. In other words: you can become aware of them.

Learning to meditate involves learning to focus, relax in action and let go of stresses in the body and mind. The Intensive covers different forms of meditation.
* Sat 12 May; 14:30 - 17:30
 Did you ever wonder why some (Yin) yoga poses are easy for you and some seem impossible to get into while other yogis are effortlessly enjoying them? Join us for an exploration in yoga postures and learn how to find your perfect posture based on a functional approach. This approach can be applied to every style of yoga. It might hold some surprises for the bendy ones amongst you, nevertheless everyone who's body feels more stiff in general will greatly benefit from the workshop as well!
* Sun 3 June; 11:15 - 14:15

Yogashala philosophy

Yogashala yogi's testimonials

 Yogashala is a studio where all kinds of people meet and share their interest in yoga with passion. All classes are based on a down-to-earth approach with clear instruction, clarifying yoga as awareness training. Postures, in stillness or flow, are based on inquiry with an open mind. Within this process we pay attention  to the breath, natural alignment in postures and movement, softness combined with strength and flexibility and the exploration of each person's individual capacity and limitations.  


 We are yoga enthusiasts in heart and soul. Since the opening of our doors in 2006 the message has been clear to us: to share this passion with every visitor to Yogashala. Many of those visitors have become Yogashala yogis as yoga became a part of their lives as well!  read more

Classes

 

All classes on offer at Yogashala are an invitation to investigate your very own being through yoga postures, breathing and meditation.

Yoga practice clears energy blockages in the body by increasing the flow of prana (energy), this improves the health of our organs as well as increasing our energy and promoting a general sense of wellbeing. The goal is to reach a state of relaxation of the breath and the body, which in turn invites the mind to quieten. The resulting effect is reduced physical and emotional stress through the release of tension from the body.

Men & Yoga: where are all the men???
 		  
 		  

Yoga classes in our studio are usually very well attended. Unfortunately, in most of the classes men are in the minority! As a matter of fact, a lot of men have not experienced yoga yet, and many do not know that yoga practice can enhance their strength, determination, focus and self-confidence.


Sometimes one has to climb a psychological barrier and get rid of preconceived ideas like 'yoga is for women', 'yoga is for softies', 'one has to be flexible to practice yoga'. If you think that way, you miss out on a lot of good things in life. Yoga brings a lot of benefits that can lighten up a man's life too! It helps to improve your posture, stamina and endurance, and of course your flexibility (in both body and mind). It also is of great support to enjoy life with increased body awareness, control and coordination.

Regular yoga practice develops long and strong muscles. It tones up your body and gives it a energetic and vigorous appearance. Vitality and yoga go very well together - yoga and sports is a great combination. Men - It’s high time to step up and give yoga a go!
