Yoga Classes for everybody
(young, older, stiff, flexible, bigger or smaller.... )
Tribal Yoga is basically about being body positiv, enjoying and knowing your body just as it is.
Each class will begin with a short introduction and welcome followed by a group tuning in using the Mantra AUM what is a part of the Breathwork we integrate in every class. We then activate our organs and prepare our bodies and our mind for the asana practice through some sets of Sun Salutations and breathing exercises where we internalize our focus and come home to our body.
Firstly we provide a safe environment for everybody to experience a yoga asana practise and build a deeper connection with our bodies.
In everything we do we are driven by the desire to share the life-enriching teachings of Yoga.

Tribal Hatha Yoga Sivananda Style
This class is suitable for beginners through advanced students. It offers maximum traditional knowledge and integrates therapeutic values. This class consists of 3 parts. The first part of the class is considered to be the yogic warm up and synchronisation of breath and movement to increase stamina. This is achived by numerous repetitions of traditional Sun- and Moon Salutations.
The second part aims to increase flexibility through stretching and aid in muscle toning and development. This is accomplished through a series of arm and leg raises, movements involving twisting, chest and shoulder opening movement, pelvic opening stretches and finally exercises to increase flexibility of the spine.
The third part of the class consists of the Sivananda series of positions to achieve maximum benefit of the yoga asanas.
The class ends with a relaxation and chanting.
A Hatha Yoga practice can be the invitation to refresh our souls and connect our physical lives with breath, mind and body.
Breathwork Yin Yoga
Yin yoga comes from the Taoist tradition and focuses on passive, seated postures that target the connective tissues in the hips, pelvis and lower spine and it's also suitable for folks who want to loosen up and melt with their bodies.
Integrating a breathwork rhythm intensifies the practice and leaves you with the feeling of maximum connection.
We start the class with slow stretches of the spine and go on with gentle stretches in seated and lying positions.
While we hold the poses for anywhere between one and three minutes we follow a breathwork rhythm. The aim is to increase flexibility and encourage a feeling of release, letting go and connecting to our selfs and the universe. It is a wonderful way to learn the basics of meditation and stilling the mind. As such, it is ideal for athletic types who need to release tension in overworked joints and also for those who need to relax.
The class ends with relaxation and chanting.
Breath Inspired Yoga
The breath is the foundation for our practice as well as our life. When we coordinate our movement to our breath and allow the breath to inspire movement we have the ability to become present and still inside.
We start the class with a Breath Awareness Practice and discover its way in and out of our Body through different breathing techniques. In different poses we hold and breath and feel the changes through the air flowing in and out.
The aim is to increase awareness for your breath and encourage a feeling of release and letting go. It is a wonderful way to learn the basics of functional breathing and experiencing the NOW moment. It is ideal for people who suffer from anxiety, stress, insomnia...
Together we flow, breathe, sweat, focus, learn, evolve and enjoy the NOW moment. Are you in?
General
We practise barefoot in comfortable clothing that allows for the full range of movement (including going upside down i.e. downward facing dog pose).
Please bring a towel or your own yoga mat (hygienic reasons).
For Yin Yoga classes bring some clothes who keep you warm and comfortable.
It is not advised to eat anything heavy before Yoga practice as we will be doing twists and inversions, but light snacks such as fruit, dried fruit and nuts, smoothies or yoghurt are fine.
Classes are held outdoors keeping a 1.5 - 2 m distance between students. Students are required to bring their own mats, props and any other accessories needed during the practice.
We resume our life classes again in September 2023
