about
Nina is a yoga teacher from Germany that is passionate about exploring every possible way of moving the body. As a former ballet and jazz dancer she started yoga with creatively sequenced Vinyasa flows that challenged the physical body in new ways. With growing curiosity she began to practice different styles of yoga recognizing that there is so much more than the physical. Through yoga Nina learned to live with a kinder heart and the appreciation that life is an opportunity to create everything that serves her purpose. She truly believes that with enough trust and compassion every human beings potential is limitless.
Nina builds a bridge between a disciplined practice that will help to discover the potential that is already within you and a therapeutic approach that allows to merge the physical, emotional and energetic body. Her teaching style is a reflection of her curiosity and thus a blend of various styles and lineages that she has studied and practiced. She prioritizes to hold space for every experience of each individual and to create a sense of community in her classes.
Monday
7.30 – 9.00 PM - Advanced Asana
weekly at Balanceyoga Studio
Asana, one of the eight limbs of yoga, is a powerful tool because we learn how to use our physical body in a non-judgmental way. The sensations created in asana practice can truly be a gateway to the mind, to our absolute life force, so to say to our nature and spirit.
In this class we will dive deep into the asana practice which is a combination of the 26 Series from Bishnu Gosh, you may know it as “Bikram Yoga”, and the Ashtanga Primary series from Patthabi Jois.
It is a demanding practice that focuses especially on alignment and breath. It is for everyone who wants to strengthen the physical body in order to bring more focus and clarity to the mind and to everyday life.
Wednesday
6:15 – 7:30 pm - Vinyasa (intermediate)
weekly at IM FREIRAUM
This class combines different styles of yoga such as Power Yoga, Bikram Yoga, Anuttara Vinyasa Yoga and Katonah Yoga and is influenced by movements from pilates and dance. It is a creative and intuitive practice that pursues a dharma (theme) or a peak pose. We will focus on combining breath with movement to surrender fully to the present moment. It is about getting to know yourself a bit better every time in a playful way that brings joy and lightness. Together we explore new movement patterns and all possible kinds of variations that suit your body and your practice.
In the vinyasa class we find balance between sensation and relaxation, discipline and fun, control and acceptance.
