Je lichaam, adem en geest leren beheersen, dat zijn de belangrijkste pijlers van Hatha yoga.

Hatha Yoga is een krachtige yogastijl, waarbij je je richt op het vrijmaken van energie. De term ‘kracht’ betekent overigens niet dat er tijdens Hatha Yoga lessen niet toegewerkt wordt naar een ontspanning. De kalme energie van de maan (Tha) in Hatha Yoga, is even belangrijk als de vurige energie van de zon (Ha). Het draait om evenwicht en uiteindelijk wordt via inspanning en ontspanning toegewerkt naar een staat van balans en evenwicht. Het opwekken van kracht komt namelijk optimaal tot zijn recht wanneer deze ook gecontroleerd en gebalanceerd wordt. We kunnen deze kracht dan focussen op onze dromen, doelen en persoonlijke ontwikkeling. Hatha Yoga symboliseert dat.
Elke week zal de les zich focussen op een bepaald gebied van het lijf, bijvoorbeeld op de heupen of op achteroverbuigingen van de rug of op de mobiliteit van de schouders. Of draaien om een bepaald thema, zoals bijvoorbeeld detox, vitaliteit, rust in je hoofd. Altijd staat de ademhaling centraal, daar deze de motor achter de houdingen is. Als we de ademhaling kunnen sturen, kunnen we onze levensenergie sturen en daarmee vat krijgen op onze veranderlijke geest.
Hatha yoga is een meer statische vorm van yoga wat betekent dat een houding over het algemeen een paar ademhalingen wordt vastgehouden en de spanning over je spieren wordt verspreid. Zo blijf je alert en het geeft je de gelegenheid om de houding te voelen en het effect ervan te ervaren. Uiteraard zal de zonnegroet, die een wat meer dynamische plek heeft binnen de practice van Hatha yoga, nooit ontbreken.

Learning to control body, breath and mind. These are the pillars of Hatha Yoga.
Hatha Yoga is a powerful yoga style, where you will focus on accessing and releasing energy. The word powerful does not mean we will not work towards relaxation in Hatha Yoga. On the contrary. The calm energy of the moon (Tha), is as important as the fierce energy of the sun (Ha). It is all about balance and working towards relaxation through effort. Feeling comfortable in the uncomfortable. When energy is accessed and released in a balanced and controlled manner the effects are the greatest. Then we can use this energy for personal growth, to fulfill our dreams and goals. Hatha Yoga really symbolises that.

In every class the breath takes the main stage. If we can control the breath, we can control the mind. Or as B.K.S. Iyengar put it: "The mind controls the body, but the breath controls the mind"
Hatha is a more static form of yoga which means we will hold the posture for a couple of breaths and distribute the tension over the muscles. This will keep you alert, and give you the opportunity to feel the posture and also feel the effects of the posture. Of course the Sun Salutations, the more dynamic part, will warm you up and prepare your body and mind for class!

We're streaming our class live, so that if you're fit enough but can't join our studio, you can still move and enjoy the class's health benefits. And we also stay connected :-)
Preparing for birth by staying physically and mentally strong is very important !! You only need some space to move, a chair without arm support and/or a birth ball. A yoga mat is a great tool that will support you too.

We kindly ask you to have a ball (20-25 cm) to use during the class. A blanket and a yoga mat are needed too.
Enjoy your practice!

Come and fly with us!! Feel your body awakening, stretching and get a wonderful relaxation in the hammocks, close to mother nature. There is no better feeling when you're in the monkey pose, looking upside down, smelling the green grass.

To keep our hammocks safe and clean we ask you to not wear clothing with buttons or zippers. Wearing a T-shirt that covers your armpits is a must.

Bring your own yoga mat (or a towel!) and a bottle of water to the practice.

Do you feel low on energy, stressed-out? Are your joints cracking every time you get out of bed? Then our Yin Yoga class might be just what you need:

Find balance and energy with Yin Yoga

Yin Yoga will allow you to reduce stress, calm and balance body and mind. It can help you improve your flexibility and mobility. We‘ll work to free up the energy in the body, making your Organs happy.

What is Yin Yoga?

In Yin Yoga we move at a slower pace, holding poses for up to five minutes. Instead of heating up, we relax the muscles as much as possible. In these passive poses we can work the deeper connective tissues – tendons, ligaments and fascia.

You are the Yin to my Yang <3

Yin completes a more heating yang practice, such as Vinyasa yoga, running or weight exercise. In Yin we slow things down and turn inward. A wonderful antidote in today‘s fast-paced world.

Join Melanie every Wednesday evening at 20:30 at Womanhood Studio for an hour of Yin yoga.

We gaan naar buiten!

Morgen vieren we hemelvaart met een speciale Hatha Yoga les buiten! We kunnen niet wachten om jullie weer 'in het echt' te zien en samen yoga te beoefenen.
Annemarie zal een speciale les geven die alles te maken heeft met hemelvaart. Denk aan heart openers en houdingen die ons van binnen warm maken. Met Hemelvaart herdenken we de ten hemel opname van Jezus Christus: "Een wolk nam Jezus mee en die verdween uit hun gezicht"...

Wij hopen morgen op blauwe lucht en veel zon, maar het is goed om wel warm gekleed te gaan. Denk aan laagjes, je yogamat en een dekentje.
Heel graag tot morgen!

In our Prenatal classes we move to release tension, build strength and flexibility to prepare for labor.

Changing of your body and upcoming needs will be discussed in-between exercises, while being appropriately gentle and safe for you and your baby.

In our classes we discuss preparing your mind, body, emotions and spirit for birth. No difficult or acrobatic poses should be expected, so it's easy to join at any pregnancy stage and in any physical condition.

You will practice to:
- Listen to your body, staying true to you in every moment
- Being present
- Being kind to yourself, and take deep breaths.

If you have (pregnancy) complaints or injuries you are welcome to join, but let the teacher know upfront!!

We kindly ask you to have a ball (20-25 cm) to use during the class. A blanket and a yoga mat are needed too.
Enjoy your practice!
