Power Vinyasa, Slowburn, Yin

Ella

Da Ella første gang kom til power yoga var hun rasende. Hun overvejede flere gange at aflyse og tage en løbetur i stedet, så hun kunne komme af med al sin vrede og energi. Men heldigvis kom hun afsted til timen, og allerede da hun trådte ind og musikken spillede, vidste hun, at det var den helt rigtige beslutning. Hun kom af med sin vrede, men energi har hun vist altid lidt for meget af – så hun kan ikke få nok yoga. Hun elsker når musikken spiller og kroppen bare bevæger sig i takt til åndedrættet, mens der er sat pause på tankerne, og hun bare er tilstede lige nu og her.

For Ella er yoga, som at tage på eventyr og opdage nye sider af sig selv – både fysisk og mentalt. Grænser bliver udfordret og udforsket på en nysgerrig og legende måde. Det er ikke kun måtten man lander på, det er på mange måder også i sig selv. Og netop legen og nysgerrighed er udgangspunktet for Ellas undervisning, hvor grænserne er mellem gal og genial, hvor man både får lyst til at bande og græde, men forhåbenligt ender med et smil eller grin.

Ella tog sin 200 timers Vinyasa Teacher Training fra Power Yoga Copenhagen.

Laura

For Laura yoga is all about exploring her own limits – physically, mentally and spiritually.

Every time Laura steps on the mat, she discovers something new about her body and mind. That’s why her classes focus on leaving preconceptions behind, challenging oneself and discovering what we really are capable of.

In her classes, you’ll get the kick in your butt and the tickle in your heart you need, while flowing to fun, energetic tunes.

Following the creation of Sutra Yoga School Sima deepened her knowledge by completing a 500 hour yoga teacher training under the tutelage of Mark Stephens in Santa Cruz, California.

Inspired by life, teachers and her immediate environment, Sima strives to bring a sense of empowerment and strength to her classes. Through intention, meditation, pranayama, asana as well as self-exploration she aims to guide students towards growth – mentally, spiritually and physically.

The more he learned and grew as a yogi, the greater his intention to share his enthusiasm and knowledge of the practice with others.
