yoga for beginners
These classes are for people who have no experience with yoga or Shadow yoga. The practicioners are gradually introduced to the basics of Shadow yoga through a combination of physical preparatory activities and basic information necessary for understanding the yoga practice (marma points, energy channels or nadis, the influence of the lunar cycles on the practice etc). The activities establish and strengthen the basic circulation of energy and have a beneficial effect on the mind and body.
I warmly recommend people to attempt and build their own (ideally daily) practice of yoga, even if they start with 20 minutes a day twice a week. This classes offer good foundation for this purpose, but you are of course always welcome regardless of wether you have a personal practic routine or not.
These classes are suitable for pregnant women in the first 4-5 months of pregnancy (with given adaptations). Pregnant practitioners are also welcome to one of Yoga for women - adaptation of practice in time of pregnacny.
regular classes
THERE ARE CURRENTLY NO REGULAR CLASSES OFFERED.
In December 2025 I have had, on request of my teachers, my natal Jyotish chart made with regard to my personal yogic path. After a consult and some reflection I decided to stop guiding others for the time being and dedicate my focus primarily to my personal sadhana. If that changes in the future the website and the offerings will come alive and active again. I wish everyone all good wherever on the path you might be.
practice guidelines
In most class spaces there are currently NO yoga requisits, so it is advisable to bring your own mat.
Wear comfortable clothes, we practice barefoot.
Ideally there should be 3-4hrs between the beginning of the class and the last large meal, a small 'snack' up to 2hrs before practice is ok.
Do not drink anything during the practice (also not water) as fluid affects the occurring physiological processes.
And last but not least - in Sundernath's words: Sometimes something brings you to a place of learning. Come with an open mind, even if you don't know exactly what you came for.
