Who is this course for?
This is an English-language class for everybody, no matter your origin, gender, age or experience level! For your own sake, please rely on your doctor’s advice and inform the course leader if you have any serious injuries or diseases or are pregnant. I will offer modifications that fit most body types so you can choose to do a more accessible or more demanding variation of many asanas (yoga postures).
Goals
- Get to know (or get reminded of) some essential asanas
- Get inspiration for your at-home yoga practice if you’re interested in that
- Release stress by focusing on your breath and having elements of relaxation
- Increase your flexibility just a little bit every time, because “saying you’re not flexible enough to do yoga is like saying you’re too dirty to take a shower.” (You will become more flexible once you start practicing yoga!)
What can you expect?
After a warm-up sequence and an occasional breathing exercise, this class will vary between energizing and calming yoga asanas and always end with Shavasana, the final relaxation lying on your back. The class is not a full-body workout, but a soft sequence of movements.
Setup
We meet 2 times in total and the length of each lesson is 1 hour. Bring comfortable clothing, e.g., sports clothes and socks to wear during the final relaxation. Yoga mats and yoga blocks are available in the room, but you can also bring your own.
Annika Wappelhorst
Yoga and meditation have been part of my everyday life for many years. In early 2023, I completed a 200-hour yoga teacher training in India and have been teaching beginners and all-level classes ever since. I mainly draw inspiration from the Hatha and Vinyasa styles of yoga. Hatha yoga is often called the oldest tradition of postural yoga and involves holding postures for several breaths. In Vinyasa (flow) yoga, on the other hand, all postures are allowed, creativity is key, and one flows from one posture to another with the rhythm of the breath.
