Yoga Lab workshops in 2018
These additional theme-based classes cover technical and philosophical aspects of the practice of Ashtanga yoga in a practical and down-to-earth manner. The aim is to give additional tools to practice intelligently, with mindful awareness. By switching off the auto pilot and understanding the technique, purpose and context of what we do, we can ideally focus our inner gaze on ourselves and find an internal shift to presence.

Yoga Lab: Dynamic transitions, March 18th at 12-14.30
This class will provide techniques to access the sometimes daunting part of the Ashtanga system, the jump-back and jump-through.
