Learning Yoga lessons with Melanie + Yoga philosophy

From 75.25 € /h

Embark on a transformative self-discovery and holistic wellness journey with our invigorating Ashtanga Yoga classes. Rooted in ancient yoga traditions, Ashtanga Yoga offers a dynamic and structured approach to yoga practice, combining breathwork (pranayama), movement (asana), and meditation to cultivate physical strength, mental clarity, and spiritual awareness.

Led by experienced and certified yoga instructors, My Ashtanga Yoga classes suit practitioners of all levels, from beginners to advanced students. Each class begins with a grounding meditation and breath awareness, setting the intention for the practice and creating a calm and focused mindset.

Students will flow through the primary series of Ashtanga Yoga, known as "Yoga Chikitsa" or Yoga Therapy, through a carefully sequenced series of postures. This systematic sequence of poses is designed to detoxify the body, improve flexibility, and build strength while also promoting internal balance and harmony.

The dynamic nature of Ashtanga Yoga encourages practitioners to move with intention and mindfulness, synchronizing breath with movement to create a moving meditation. As students progress through the practice, they will develop greater physical endurance, mental resilience, and emotional stability while deepening their connection to the present moment.

In addition to the physical benefits, Ashtanga Yoga offers profound psychological and spiritual benefits, helping students cultivate inner peace, self-awareness, and spiritual awakening. By integrating the principles of yoga philosophy into the practice, students will learn to develop compassion, gratitude, and acceptance both on and off the mat.

Whether you want to build strength, increase flexibility, or deepen your spiritual practice, our Ashtanga Yoga classes provide a supportive and nurturing environment for personal growth and transformation. Join us on the mat and experience the transformative power of Ashtanga Yoga in your life.

Namaste.

Why is pelvic mobility important?
🔆Pelvic mobility is essential to meet the simplest daily functional needs such as walking or climbing stairs. The pelvis is the center of gravity and the largest bone complex in the human body. It is an insertion point for strong muscles: they form the muscular chains that have the pelvis as an anchor point.
The shortening or overtraining of some of them, due to sports postures or gestures, can generate an imbalance in the tensegrity system of the pelvic girdle and many local and adjacent problems, from muscle decompensations, pain, health problems at a visceral level and many others. aspects that are not taken into account 🧐
✅You have to ensure that your pelvis is in a neutral position, aligned at all times and in any activity you do so that your body does not adopt wrong postures by default and avoid having problems with its mobility and consequently other derived dysfunctions, such as hernias, lower back pain. , pelvic floor problems, etc.
📌The program aims to strengthen, stretch and put into tension the muscle chains and the analytical work of the abductor, adductor, extensor and pelvitrochanter complex. All of these myofascial elements determine the pelvic position and, in doing so, create or limit the freedom of the pelvis, having repercussions on the lower and upper limbs.
🤗 Of course we are not going to leave aside the rest of the body❗️❗️😅
The training approach will be individualized, after a general and analytical body evaluation.
Enough of so many aches and pains, release the superficial and deep fascia and revitalize your energy center. 🥰

Yoga Nidra is a sacred practice of conscious rest, where the body sleeps while awareness remains awake. Rooted in the ancient yogic tradition, this guided journey gently draws attention inward, allowing the nervous system to settle and the mind to enter a deeply receptive state.

The practice begins with breath awareness and body sensing, followed by the setting of a Sankalpa—a heartfelt intention planted in the fertile ground between waking and sleep. Gentle mantra vibrations and guided imagery support the release of physical, mental, and emotional layers, leading toward a sense of wholeness and inner stillness.

In this liminal state, the fluctuations of the mind soften, echoing the yogic understanding that true rest arises not from sleep alone, but from presence. Yoga Nidra nourishes clarity, emotional balance, creativity, and deep renewal.

Suitable for all levels, this practice invites you to rest, realign, and reconnect with your inner wisdom.

I teach mainly Vinyasa, with an emphasis on breathing and meditation. Also yin. The most important thing is that I customize the sessions and intuitively tune into what is needed on the day.

She has studied psychology and biology at university level and has experience living in many different cultures. Her main yoga style is Vinyasa with an emphasis on breathing and meditation. She has also studied reiki in India. Solveig has practiced various forms of yoga on and off for the past 20 years and deepened her practice a couple of years ago as one way to cope with grief. She did her yoga teacher training with YogaWorks in Bali. Solveig encourages her students to bring their yoga practice from the mat into everyday life. Yoga is a lifestyle.

In these classes we focus on unblocking the body to have more energy and develop the relationship between mind and body.

These are not fitness classes, the idea is not to sweat or stop thinking but to start directing attention towards the development of self-observation to live lifeore wholly

In these sessions we focus on the physical aspect of yoga, which is called asana.
Asana literally means "seat", so the purpose of the classes is to practice achieving a state of stillness and comfort, both physically and mentally.

Traditionally, this practice was done to develop the ability to sit comfortably in a posture for an extended period of time to meditate.

In the 90 min classes we end with a body consciousness practice that helps the body understand that it can be relaxed and attentive at the same time. This part is done lying on a yoga mat or rug and one tends to lose body heat. If you tend to be cold, I recommend using a blanket and comfortable, warm clothing.

We will co-create the classes. What I know and what your body needs must go hand in hand. It is very important that you notify me of medical, physical and psychological conditions that you have and have had. Nobody knows your body better than you.

If you feel the call, don't hesitate!

Yoga is a philosophy and discipline originating in India, where it is understood as the science of good living.
The word comes from the Sanskrit "yug" which means to unite, and the different physical, mental and emotional practices that compose it have the purpose of uniting individual consciousness with universal consciousness through mastery of body and mind.
