Fanny

Yoga Teacher (DK) - On maternty leave

Teaches: Basic Practice, Mixed Level Practice, Gentle Practice

What originally attracted Fanny to yoga, was its ability to provide a rare break from the inescapable rush, characterising life in the city. However, as a teacher she has come to realise that yoga is not just a break, but also a practice which helps us cope with the challenges we meet outside the mat. Therefore, her classes revolve around patiently and thoroughly guided flows, whether the style is vinyasa or gentle.

With a traditional yoga training, yogic philosophy is usually weaved into the class, offering room for personal reflection rooted in your own experience. Fanny tries to integrate the lessons learned on the mat, while learning ways to protect nature through her studies of Nature Management. The remainder of time is spent in the kitchen, or surrounded by nature.

Laura Schele

Yoga Teacher (BE) - Leave of absence

Laura is one of the Yogaflat's very own trainee teachers. To Laura, each yoga class is an opportunity to press pause and check-in with the different layers of your Self in a non-judging, compassionate manner – reconnecting with, and realigning your breath, body and state of mind. Next to flowful sequences, each of her classes therefore leaves room for stillness, self-reflection and breathing exercises. With her warm & kind energy and light-hearted teaching style, you can expect classes that allow you to tune in, move by the guidance of your breath, sweat, have a laugh, and relax - adaptable to wherever you are in your practice or your energy level on the specific day. So come as you are.

With an upbringing in rhythmic gymnastics you can expect to find playful flows, inversions and armbalances as part of her active classes, sometimes mixed with chanting or meditation to help provide a wider experience around a certain theme. In her gentle classes you’ll often find a bit of soft movement before the energy gradually begins to slow down as you enter deeper passive stretches as well as a softer state of mind. AC seeks to create a holistic experience to leave you with a sense of empowerment, be it an active or gentle practice.

What keeps inspiring Titta is the breath and movement connection, especially in entering an asana.

She loves to share the tricks she just learned.

Laura Ravn

Yoga Teacher (DK)

I grew up in a yoga school in Copenhagen and practicing yoga was always a natural part of living life. 

Growing up yoga practice was a way to find balance and calmness in everyday life activities and challenges.

After moving to NYC in 2015 I met teachers Yoshio Hama and Sri Dharma Mittra that inspired me tremendously to be able to share this ancient, beautiful, life-supportive practice.

I started to teach because I want to serve my community and share the knowledge discovered in my own journey. In the physical aspect I focus on the relationship between strength and flexibility to balance the body, but just as importantly how overall, through incorporating all eight-limbs of Yoga, it holistically support longevity in outer and inner health. Balancing the physical, sets the body for stillness, silence and creates the preparation for deeper discoveries in more subtle parts, encouraging sensitivity and heightened enjoyment of existence. I hope to help my students to a deeper understanding of their inner Self."
