Nicolai is a technique junkie whose classes centre around body awareness, anatomy and mindful movement.

For Nicolai, through physical practice, we can get better and understanding ourselves as it becomes a tangible tool to better access our reaction patterns and our sense of self. We are able to make our complex experiences and problem areas more accessible simply by looking at the way we approach our physical practice, how we meet ourselves and how we respond to the nerve impulses.

Fanny

Teacher (DK)

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.

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.

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."
