+ includes a week of yoga classes at the studio.

The foundations of Ashtanga Yoga Workshop, will introduce you to what is known as Tristhana: breath, asana (postures) and dristi (gazing point). The aim is to put the theory into practice as you learn the yoga sequence starting by the Sun Salutations.

For those who are interested in participating, but are new to the practice or haven't practiced with me before, please register to the Foundations Workshop first.

I am offering a month course over four consecutive weekends to assist you on your healing and holistic journey.

This month-course will be an opportunity to absorb and integrate better what you learn and put it into practice as we go along.

There is an intimate relationship among the organs.

A healthy gut and a happy liver will benefit your mental and physical well-being.

Learn about the gut-brain connection and how it will positively impact your mood, energy and immunity.

The job of the liver network is to monitor flow and maintain balanced emotions and mental clarity. A well-loved liver offers grace and flexibility to the body and mind.

We will share herbs and rituals to support the healthy function of your gut and liver and all the organs and systems related to these essential organs.

We will drink detox and sleepy herbal tea, learn the physiological and energetical aspects of these mechanisms, share easy & healthy seasonal recipes, and incorporate movement and breath work to promote better digestion, cleanse and proper rest.

I will support you throughout the month as you try the herbs, recipes and new routine. Join me. Only six spots are available.

Open Studio

check schedule online

An open yoga studio allows members to come together to cultivate their yoga journeys based on what they've learned in the yoga classes. It goes beyond scheduled classes to offer an environment where practitioners can explore their sadhana practices.

One key benefit is the opportunity to show up on your mat regularly and rely on the collective energy of fellow practitioners for accountability and support.

This dynamic encourages community and mutual empowerment, where everyone contributes to each other's growth and commitment to their yoga practice.

It fosters a more profound connection to oneself and the wider yoga community, creating a nurturing and inspiring space for personal and collective evolution.
