YOGA NIDRA: thursday December 18 at 18.45

What is Yoga Nidra?

When you practise Yoga Nidra your body and mind becomes in a state of deep relaxation. It s also called "Sleep Yoga" Your body is in the state as just before you fall asleep but your mind stays consious and aware. While you lay down on your mat, covered with a blanket, all you have to do is keep listening and follow the direction.

'Most people go to sleep without releasing their tensions in advance this is called Nidra, Nidra means sleep. However Yoga Nidra is the sleep after all burdens fall from you. This is about a completely different and higher quality"

Swami Satyananda Sarawati

During Yoga Nidra you can set a San Calpa, this is an intention you set for yourself in a short positive line. This is a very powerfull way to make changes in your life in a positive direction. By setting this intention there is a seed planted in your deep consiousness. Everybody is welcome to join this special Yoga session . Usually we have an active Hatha class on thursdaynight but this time it s all about rest, comfort, recharge and meditation. How can you prepare yourself? Wear comfortable and warm clothes. The studio is warm and there are mats and blankets available. You can take a small pillow and an eyemask for example. Maybe you like to think about the Sancalpa you want to use during this Nidra session. A Sancalpa is an intention for yourself in a simple, short and positive line. Something you want to accomplish or wish for. Dont't force yourself and keep it simple. If anything comes up in your mind, you can use that and if nothing comes up, here are some examples to use untill you have your own SanCalpa:

I AM LOVE

I AM ENOUGH

I AM AT PEACE

I ACCEPT MYSELF UNCONDITIONALLY

I ATTRACT ABUNDANCE

Ashtanga Yoga

It is also known as Power Yoga. Ashtanga Yoga is a serie of excersices performed in Vinyasa style. The original series (there are 6) is built up by K. Pattabhi Jois. It is based from the Hatha Yoga. So many of the asana´s can be already familiair for you, now we practise it in a constant stream. We start with parts of the 1st serie . The warming up consists of Sunsalutation A+B. Because you are moving intense your body is warming up. And for the whole class you stay in this warm temperature to make your muscles warm and move easily. Like in the traditional Ashtanga Yoga we will work with the Ujjayi breathing technique (oceanbreath) The features for ashtanga are power , discipline and endurance. So if you like to move intensive and want to bring your yoga practice to the next level; Ashtanga is definitely your new challenge. During wintertime we will start this classes on wednesday morning.
