  • Open Flow: New waves in yoga (Copenhagen workshop)

    Open Flow: New waves in yoga (Copenhagen workshop)

    A day of exploring new, delicious movements in your practice. The practice of yoga is in continuous variation, like water running through the cracks and curves of a landscape. At the fringe of  present reinventions in modern postural yoga we find approaches working with sensation-based movement and open-ended, unstructured flows. This workshop is an embodied enquiry into feeling and following internal movements arising from the wisdom of your own body and exploring yoga postures as natural extensions of the impulse to move towards delight. Birgitte will introduce movements such as wave-like undulations, rhythmic oscillations and slow-motion chaotic fluctuations and help you explore their different impacts in your body and your practice. The workshop begins with a series of movement-experiments, using the open flow technique of “myofascial unwinding” to find, feel and follow natural flows in your body. The second half of the workshop takes place as a collective dive into a continuous movement meditation. The workshop is inspired by old yoga pioneers and informed by new perspectives on human anatomy. It thus stands on the solid shoulders of modern postural yoga while curiously questioning it´s mainstream paradigm of straight lines, static postures and intense stretching.
    To ensure quality of the teaching the workshop is limited to 10 people. The workshop is open to all.

  • Urban retreat (Copenhagen)

    Urban retreat (Copenhagen)

    Tune into embodied presence with a day and a half of sensitive, flowing yoga in one of Copenhagens most beautiful yoga venues. The workshop i situated at the Copenhagen water front only a 10 minute drive from the central station and 15 mnutes from Copenhagen airport. The area is famous for its beautiful canals, architecture and offers a green nature walks while being in close proximity to the city centre. You can have lunch in one of the cafes in the area or bring your own food. The theme of the workshop is spiralling flows, which we will approach differently in each of the three yoga classes.

    One of the fundamental  building blocks of human movements, the spiral momentum forms a cornerstone in most organic life forms and can even be traced in inorganic matter such as galaxies, whirlpools and hurricanes. The spiral vinyasa is a yoga posture practice honouring the natural movement patterns of the human body. It supports integrity in yoga your practice as well as in everyday movement. In the workshop we play with spiral transitions between yoga postures and explore new approaces to rotations and twists in yoga. The workshop invites a balanced, natural strength and mobility and explores new embodied orientations in your practice. During the workshop we will also discuss the importance of balanced, tensional integrity (tensegrity) through muscular activity in yoga posture practice.

    The workshop will be taught in English or Danish as required. Open to all.
