Ashtanga and the flow styles
Ashtanga is the thread that runs through the studio. The Mysore Program teaches the set sequence individually, so you learn it gradually at your own pace, while Ashtanga Led follows the Primary Series with the whole room moving together. Ashtanga Beginners gives a foundation in the sun salutations and standing postures before you join either.
Beside the ashtanga classes, vinyasa and gentle vinyasa link movement to breath, and yin holds postures for several minutes to work into deeper tissue. Yin Yang combines the two in a shorter session.
Fitting a class into the week
Mornings are the most common time to practice, and the first classes start at 6:30am. Evenings are the next most common, with the last class starting at 8:15pm. Weekends hold a fifth of the timetable, and the busiest days are Wednesday, Friday and Sunday.
The classes are taught by a large group of facilitators, and Claudia Pradella, Ombretta Dettori and Lidewij Severins lead some of the most classes. Most sessions are in Dutch or English, and the studio asks you to book ahead, with no passes needed to take a class.
