Love Yoga Classes & Schedule

Open Jivamukti

Jivamukti Open Class welcomes practitioners of all levels. You work at your own pace, following the teacher’s verbal as well as hands-on guidance. Asana options will be provided for beginners, intermediate and advanced students. In this class, students are invited to explore a monthly focus based on yogic philosophy, expand their horizons both physically and intellectually, while great music supports the focus of the class.

Easy Jivamukti

The slow moving, deep exploratory easy class provides the student with the underlying basics of how a vinyasa practice works. Vinyasa is a method of practicing asana (physical poses), where the asanas are presented in a sequence, flowing one to the next. The practice focuses on aligning one’s breath and spiritual intention with movement. The class follows a set sequence of asanas but is presented at a slower, more relaxed pace than in the Medium class or in the Spiritual Warrior class.

There is only minimal focus on basic alignment, the main emphasis being on breathing while holding asanas as well as on transitioning into and out of asanas gracefully and safely. The classes provide a good transition for a beginner student from the Basics classes to the Spiritual Warrior or Medium and Open classes and provide an opportunity for a more advanced student to refine their skills through a more detailed exploration of the asanas presented and how they can flow together seamlessly by means of steady paced ujjayi breathing. This class is suitable for beginners, but open to all levels of practitioner.

Medium Jivamukti

Our Medium Jivamukti class follows the same basic structure as the Jivamukti Easy class, with a  slightly more dynamic pace and introducing medium level asana.

Jivamukti Spiritual Warrior

Jivamukti Spiritual Warrior classes are designed for busy people who only have an hour to practice. The class is fast paced and invigorating and is certainly a “get-in-shape” class. The structure is a fixed set sequence instructed in a vinyasa style. It is a fully balanced class which includes asana warm-up, chanting, setting of intention, surya namaskar, standing poses, backbends, forward bends, twists, inversions, meditation and relaxation. The teacher focuses on keeping the pace moving and does not stop to give spiritual discourses. Since the asana sequence is always the same, a student will pick it up quite quickly after only a couple of classes. Spiritual Warrior Classes are best for intermediate and advanced students, although beginners as well as anyone with a sense of adventure are welcome! Spiritual Warrior classes are one hour in length.

Easy Vinyasa

This class follows vinyasa sequences based in the Krishnamacharya tradition.  In each class sequences will be refined by repetition of the sequence and consistency of breath awareness. Krishnamacharya,  (1888-1989) is the grandfather of the Jivamukti lineage and the Guru of Patabhi Jois, founder of Ashtanga Yoga.  This class is suitable for beginners.

Yin Yoga

A slow paced style of yoga, focusing mainly on seated or lying postures where students stay in the selected positions for extended periods of time, beneficially affecting the joints, conductive, and connective fascial tissues within the body.  This class is suitable for students of all levels.

Restorative Yoga

Who doesn’t occasionally feel overcome by everyday life – constantly feeling we have “no time” are “super busy” and drained of our creative power?  Stress is a health epidemic of our age. And when stress drains our energy, it is our bodies’ way of expressing to us the need for true rest and recuperation.

Ignoring or ‘pushing through’ in spite of the warning results in problems such as sleeplessness, sleep disturbances, weight gain, high blood pressure, depression or anxiety.

In the Restorative Yoga we give the body and mind the opportunity to deeply relax, letting go of the stresses of daily life. restorative postures are fully supported with various props, so that one can sink in to the posture and stay there for an extended period of time. Suitable for all levels.

Yoga for Seniors/Slow Motion Yoga

Diese beiden Stunden richten sich an all jene, die sich Gutes tun wollen, aber nichts mehr beweisen müssen.

Ziel ist es mit den Herausforderungen des Alltags und den sich wandelnden Bedingungen besser umgehen zu können. Level: nicht zur für Senioren, sondern auch für all jene geeignet, die sich als „unsportlich“ betrachten, aber gerne bewegen möchten.

Aerial Yoga

Aerial Yoga combines the variations, or adaptations of traditional yoga poses, pilates, and dance with the use of a hammock for support.

Using the hammock for support, students enjoy varying corporeal relationships to gravity to facilitate flexibility, stability, focus and balance of the whole body as they move through familiar adaptations of traditional hatha yoga postures. Yoga practice. muscles and joints will be strengthened and rehabilitated, and the spine decompressed as the body hangs freely. The circulatory, respiratory and digestive systems are improved through increased blood circulation.

Yoga in general, and anti-gravity yoga in particular is promoted as benefiting emotional, psychological and spiritual health.

Teens Yoga (11 -15 / pre-registration only)

Wer glaubt, Yoga sei nur für alte Leute, irrt ganz gewaltig. Yoga Girl Rachel Brathen, eine eigene DJ-Szene oder Hip-Hop-Yoga-Klassen sind nur ein paar Beispiele dafür, dass Yoga bei der Jugend angekommen ist – und das aus gutem Grund. Auch Jugendliche leiden häufig unter Stress. Bewegungsmangel führt zu Erschöpfung. Die Yogapositionen dehnen, kräftigen und öffnen den Körper. Sie lösen Verspannungen vom langen Sitzen, verbessern die Haltung und bieten einen Ausgleich zu den Belastungen des Alltags. Yoga ist hip und macht Spaß. Mirandella wird auf Englisch unterrichten.

Ashtanga

Ashtanga yoga is a system of yoga transmitted to the modern world by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois (1915-2009). This method of yoga involves synchronizing the breath with a progressive series of postures—a process producing intense internal heat and a profuse, purifying sweat that detoxifies muscles and organs.

Satsang

Satsang is a time to ponder, ask questions, and explore deepening practices, such as meditation and mantra chanting.  Topics will relate to the monthly focus.

The word satsang is composed of the two sounds sat and sanga.  Sat means truth and sanga means a gathering.  So satsang means literally to sit in the company of those interested in the truth.

On every last Wednesday of the month 

Prenatal Yoga

Pregnancy yoga classes can enhance your preparation process when they are based on sound principles of alignment and anatomy for the pregnant body. Prenatal yoga classes can also offer you the valuable opportunity to connect and bond with other women during the experience of pregnancy, birth and motherhood.

It is important to choose an instructor that is trained specifically to work with expecting women and who understands how to modify the practice to meet your unique physical needs.
