Conscious Beginning 2025
Conscious Beginning 2025
New beginnings, such as the start of a new year, often exert pressure and stress on us. We see the need for optimization or what we have not achieved in the previous year. All the achievements and positives often fall by the wayside.
Let's start 2025 together with a big pat on the back. Celebrate with a flow on beat and leave your need for optimization behind you round by round. Afterwards, decelerating yin yoga offers you the opportunity to reflect.

In this transformative yoga masterclass, Alex will guide you through the dance of finding movement in stillness and stillness in movement. This class is not just a sequence of postures; it is a journey to explore the delicate balance of playfulness and the profound depth of practice.
Guided by a deep anatomical understanding, Alex's classes transcend the physical boundaries of asanas. As you navigate through the fluid transitions and intentional stillness, you'll uncover the essence of yoga, to witness the beauty of balance, and to cultivate a practice that extends beyond the mat.
Saturday, 7th of September:
11:00 - 13:30: The Initiation - Handstand Exploration
Getting upside down can be a tricky experience! Hence overcoming the fear and developing the adequate physical support are going to be your main allies on this fun journey. In this introduction to handstand, you will build the components of a solid foundation for balance. Using partner work, you will understand body positioning, arm support and how to use your core and legs for a steady and fruitful progression. Finally, Alex will show you how challenging the simple straight handstand with various shapes and transitions can help us find ease and a sense of comfort in our practice. Alex will assist you in finding which approach suits you best on this journey, and how to make it a fun and enjoyable process.

Join Alex in this unique workshop that seamlessly intertwines hip mobility, strength practice, and the heart-centered path of Bhakti yoga. Set aside the confines of the traditional yoga mat as we collectively challenge the boundaries imposed by its four corners. In doing so, we aim to expand the regions of our brain associated with creative motion, fostering a deeper connection to the artistry within our practice.
Throughout the workshop, we'll delve into efficient techniques for enhancing flexibility, providing accessible approaches regardless of your experience level. You will learn to integrate mobility and flexibility training into your yoga practice, with insights into anatomy and physiology. We'll conclude by shifting back into the intuitive realm of the body, through chanting and shared moments of bonding.
