Yoga and your personal wellbeing
YIN YOGA
Yin yoga targets your deep connective tissues, like your fascia, ligaments,
joints, and bones. Yin yoga is a very gentle yoga practice and a great way to
release tension and relieve stress. We move slowly and mindful throughout the
yoga practice, paying special attention to the breath, giving you space to turn
inward and tune into both your mind and the physical sensations of your body.
There is (almost) no muscular engagement throughout the whole practice. Only if
the muscles are relaxed, it is possible to target the connective tissue. The
practice of yin yoga is based on ancient Chinese philosophies and Taoist
principles which believe there are pathways of Qi (energy) that run through our
bodies. By stretching and deepening into poses, we're opening up any blockages
and releasing that energy to flow freely. A Yin yoga class usually consists of a
series of long-held, passive floor poses held for up to five minutes, sometimes
longer. Easy to perform, suitable for everyone.

The Full Moon Celebrations
Every month Lars arrange a kind of celebration during the full moon. The full
moon has been an important part of yogic life for thousands of years. During the
full moon, there is a natural upsurge of energies in the system which makes the
spiritual dimension more available if we know how to make use of it.
The Full Moon Celebrations focus on releasing tension from body and mind, having
fun, breaking limitations, and exploring the Self. We do this through various
practices such as conscious movements, yoga, sounds, dance, drum journey, and
guided meditation. All with the purpose of letting go of physical, mental,
emotional, and energetic tension/blockages. The whole celebration lasts for
about two hours, leaving your body and mind at ease with a heightened sense of
clarity and joy, ready for the next month! No experience is needed. Tea and
light food will be served after for those who want to stay for a chat, play some
music, or just simply relax.
