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. 

Laura is originally from Germany and although she loves Copenhagen, the cold weather is not really her cup of tea. During her time living in Australia, she acquired an unmistakable accent and lingo. G’day!    

Laura graduated from her 200 Hours Vinyasa Yoga Alliance certified training from Power Yoga Copenhagen in 2020.

Kundalini, Breathwork & Meditation

Mads

Mads is a warm-hearted and caring Kundalini teacher, who loves using his body and being active. To him, Kundalini yoga is both physical and meditative and gives an inner calm and the ability to focus, while increasing physical health and a feeling of wellbeing. He brings a deep desire to pass on these qualities in his classes, which are intense, warm and challenging.

Mads studied to be a chiropractor and took his teacher training from the International School of Kundalini Yoga. He also teaches meditation.

His classes are in Danish or English, depending on who is in the class.

Stef

Stefanie used to be a competitive tennis player but discovered yoga after falling ill with a chronic pain condition. To her, yoga is a way of processing emotions through breath and movement and a tool to find comfort and opportunities in uncomfortable situations.

She teaches powerful vinyasa and juicy yin classes that expand not only your physical body but the space and awareness you carry within.

Besides teaching and practicing yoga, Stefanie works in the field of Public Health. She has a RYT 200 HR in Ashtanga/Vinyasa with Jonah Kest + a 30 HR Pelvic Floor Somatic YTT and a 50 hour Rocket TT.

Christoph

Christoph found yoga in 2019 to balance a highly stressful period of his life. It was only when a dear friend convinced him to join PYC in 2020, however that he fell in love with yoga. The free flowing, dancelike transitions from one posture to the next, combined with music and strong holding poses spoke to him.

In June 2023 Christoph obtained his 200 hour YTT with Jonah Kest. In his flows Christoph often draws inspiration from his many years abroad in Africa and other places around the world. He loves telling stories, expanding people’s horizons and hopes to inspire more people to find yoga.

Marie

Marie has been doing yoga most of her adult life and was first introduced to the Vinyasa style in 2013 while studying in Vancouver. To her, yoga and movement is the ultimate form of empowerment.

She is a curious soul who loves to explore and challenge mind, body and soul. Her classes are both fun and serious and she loves the burst of energy in a room full of sweaty yogis but also the beauty and intensity of stillness in a yin class.

Marie has a background in public health science and works with violence prevention at a human rights organization. When she is not working or doing yoga, she loves melting in a sauna, going for long slow runs, and joining kirtan-sessions around Copenhagen.

Additionally, Marie has completed a 50-hour Yoga Anatomy Course at Rört, Copenhagen.

Ashtanga

Marco

Marco is a certified Hatha and Ashtanga teacher from the Rishikesh Yoga Teacher Training Center in India. He began practicing yoga as a way to cope with mental and physical stress, but he soon realized how a regular yoga practice was improving his overall sense of well-being, inspiring him to every single moment more mindfully and with an open heart. The more he learned and grew as a yogi, the greater his intention to share his enthusiasm and knowledge of the practice with others.

Marco strives to create a welcoming and supportive environment where students can deepen their practice while having fun. In his classes, Marco blends breathwork, meditative focus and vigorous vinyasa sequences that will make you feel pleasantly exerted, but also calmer and clear minded.

Tess

Yoga came to Tess before she knew she needed it. Leaving Wales for Denmark, Tess hoped to find a sense of freedom and independence, yet it was in the yoga studio that she truly established the feeling of freedom in both body and mind. On her yoga mat, Tess cherishes the sacred space that is offered through yoga along with the love and gratitude it encourages.

In her classes, Tess promises an opportunity to establish a true and deep connection to the present moment and encourages you to be attentive to what arises up inside. Through her classes, you can expect dynamic and sweaty flows along with mediative-inspired asanas targeting your deep connective tissue.

On your mat, she encourages you to find your edge, explore your comfort zones, build that fire up inside of you and find that curiosity in mind, body, and breath.

Tess graduated from her 200-Hours Vinyasa Yoga Alliance certified training from Power Yoga Copenhagen.
