Wow, this felt amazing! I feel like my posture has improved so much, and my whole being feels so much more open. The qualities that came into mind at the end were kindness and gentleness. I always like to feel strong, but these practices definitely help me to give more space to my softer sides. Very grateful, as always!

Did this practice after I spent a good part of the last 24 hours in the hospital with my son who fell off a climbing scaffold (all good, luckily). I just felt so grateful than nothing worse happened, and this practice helped me bring me back to myself, to get some stuff 'off' through the strong parts, but to also open up again after everything felt super focused in on one thing (person). It felt so good and was so needed!

Sooo good. During the week, particularly when I'm working from home, I take little (or longer...) breaks for my dedicated yoga practice. This one opened me up in so many nice places, and simply moving felt so good. I really liked the 'body scan' at the end, checking in on the different layers and what might have changed during the practice!

That was the most perfect lunch break :) Grateful as always for the practice and your teachings!

Finally fit again for a 'spicy' class ;) This was so beautiful. The flow felt really therapeutic for me, I just love slow and strong movement. Also really appreciated the intention-setting at the end of class - actually really nice bc when I get into class, my mind is often all over the place so it's sometimes rather random to pick an intention. But at the end of class, when I am centered again, this makes much more sense...

Currently having rather low energy due to a cold, but I still crave some slow movement, because it always opens me up and makes me feel better. This one was another amazing class, that definitely opened me up in the right spaces...

Woooow :) I think I have never even attempted full(er) lotus. The journey to the peak was super nice. Full locust felt somewhat uncomfortable on elbows and hipbones, but it was good to attempt it, to sit through the unfamiliar and still feel the strength of the pose. Winding down was so good and I definitely have a new favorite way of doing jani - the spinal waving felt sooo good!!!

After two days of weight training, my body (and mind) needed a calm, nourishing, yummy practice. This was soooo good! As in every class, I so much love all the spinal undulations in all directions and the yummy side body stretches.

I love a practice like this, particularly between finishing work and picking up kids from school - it's the perfect reset and little time for myself.

Loved this flow. So slow, so delicious, I felt like in a dance/trance even. Great reminder that good isn't always tasty...
