Yoga & Pilates classes

Description of our complete range of courses at Anjali Studio. The range extends from various yoga styles to Pilates and breathwork courses. You can find out which style suits you best here, but we recommend trying out a course straight away.

Yoga
Yoga is a very old Indian science that exercises, trains and promotes the body and mind at the same time.
Yoga - what does the word actually mean? The term 'yoga' comes from the Sanskrit root 'yuj', which means 'union'. Yoga offers you more than just a movement program, it is the union of body, mind and soul.
 
The physical exercises (asanas) strengthen the entire musculature, improve flexibility and mobility and train the sense of balance. The mindful execution of the exercises teaches us to be consciously present in the body. In addition to physical exercises, breathing and meditation exercises are also central components of yoga. 
Regular yoga exercises / asanas bring many benefits, such as
- better health and a better immune system
- it can relieve back pain and helps you sleep better
- it strengthens the bones and muscles
- and gives you more energy and joy of life.

Pilates
Pilates is a systematic whole-body workout that primarily targets the deep muscle groups of the torso (pelvic floor, abdominal and back muscles). These muscles are responsible for correct and physiological posture. Starting from the center of the body, a strong center (powerhouse) should be formed to optimally straighten the spine. This can prevent various complaints in everyday life, such as back pain.
Pilates training combines strength exercises, stretching and relaxation exercises with conscious breathing. 
 

Vinyasa yoga
Vinyasa Flow is a flowing and dynamic form of yoga. Sun salutations and postures (asanas) are practiced dynamically and with smooth movements. Successive postures are repeated to create a flowing vinyasa flow.
flowing Vinyasa flow. Asanas strengthen the muscles and promote stamina, balance and flexibility. By bringing breath and movement together, body and mind are brought into harmony. Regular practice increases your vitality and energy and leads to inner balance. The classes are suitable for all levels and there are also advanced classes in this style.

Yin Yoga
Yin yoga is a very calm form of yoga. By holding positions for a long time, mainly sitting and lying down, by sinking into a gentle stretch, you find inner peace and a deep breath. The positions are held for between three and five minutes, which also awakens and stretches the deeper layers of your body (fascia).
The connective tissue, ligaments, tendons and joints, the yin elements of your body, are also addressed.
This class offers a good balance to active body movements performed with muscle strength (yang element).
It is also suitable for an active, hectic, perhaps stressful everyday life, to balance and find your inner balance.
 

Yoga basics
In this class, you can take time to get in touch with your body, your breathing and individual basic asanas (postures). In this way, slow and flowing sequences can be created step by step.
Suitable for yoga beginners as well as people of all ages. Even if you have many physical limitations, this class will not overtax you. With the help of a mindful approach, we will ensure that you can feel comfortable in your body, with everything you bring with you.

Hatha Yoga

Hatha yoga combines breathing techniques (pranayama) with postures (asanas) to harmonize body and mind. In contrast to vinyasa yoga, in which the asanas are performed in a more flowing and dynamic way, hatha yoga places more emphasis on static, precise positions that are held for slightly longer. This slower, focused practice allows for a deeper engagement with the asanas and promotes both strength and flexibility, while creating a sense of calm and mindfulness. The classes are suitable for all levels.

Core & Flow
In this class, we practise a mixture of yoga and Pilates elements. The focus is always on strengthening the center, the entire core muscles. Core does not only mean the front of the abdominal muscles but also includes the sides and back. The so-called 'power house' is built up first and then a flow begins. Sometimes more yoga, sometimes more Pilates and we also use tools such as the Pilates roller, blocks or blankets. A class that makes you sweat and is great fun!

Dynamic Breath & Flow*
In this class, we practise a flowing Vinyasa Flow practice paired with breathing exercises. Everything is designed to be very dynamic in order to activate, cleanse and balance the body. Blockages can be released and the mind is allowed to shed all its burdens and come to rest. The result is a kind of “moving meditation”. Yoga experience is an advantage. *This class is held in English.
