About
Astrid offers Vinyasa yoga, Yin yoga, Restorative yoga, Breathwork and yoga Nidra. Astrid´s Vinyasa yoga is highly breath centered and focuses on fluid sequences with the goal of using the asana as a tool to bring you into the moment, so that you can start to make more optimal choices for yourself on and off the mat. Astrid encourage you to live yoga off the mat. Yoga is a lifestyle rooted in philosophy rather than workout (but it is a very good supplement to your training if your goal is to gain more flexibility too). Astrid’s classes put an emphasis on what feels good in your body – for you to listen in and be aware to take optimal choices, so the strength, flexibility and the awareness you practice on your mat will help you off your mat. Astrid has experienced a lot of injuries from outside the yoga mat, which makes her very understanding and welcoming to different variations, shapes and forms in a class. As an antidote to the high energy vinyasa classes, she sees the value for a lot of people in todays society to include more of the cooling, lunar, feminine energy to create a balance in their life. A lot of Astrid´s teachings are focused around how you can slow down and breathe to cope with physical or mental challenges, and to find back to the silence where you can listen to the wisdom within. Restorative Yoga, Yoga Nidra and different breath practices is the perfect medicine to this society that is telling us to do more with less time.
