Classes
Technique classes are workshop-style classes which focus on specific aspects of the yoga practice. Attending these classes regularly will provide you with the building blocks for a well-rounded yoga practice.
Following a short warm-up, we will practise several postures according to the class theme. Lots of details about functional anatomy, biomechanical principles, structural alignment, breathing instructions, modifications, use of props, tips for deepening the postures, etc. This setup gives me the opportunity to assist you individually with verbal corrections as well as hands-on adjustments. The aim is to help you develop skills to progress in a smart and safe way.
The class finishes with a guided breathing and meditation practice.
This step-by-step, personalised approach is one of the key characteristics of Vinyasa Krama yoga. It allows you to develop a yoga practice tailored to your specific needs.

Why technique classes?
Commercial group yoga classes often lack personal attention. They usually consist of following one-size-fits-all instructions and copying postures from a teacher or fellow students. This approach has little to do with yoga and carries substantial risk of injuries.
In my technique classes you are taught individually within a group environment, to keep things affordable. My goal is to adapt the practice to the student and not the other way around. The 'correct' movements and breathing are learned gradually. I offer you suggestions to experiment with your body in order to experience the benefits of a posture and to apply this to everyday life. Over time, with repetition and discipline, you will refine your practice and may be offered more advanced asanas if and when appropriate.
