Ashtanga Yoga with Johanna Chemnitz

Ashtanga Yoga as we practice it today, goes back to the teachings of Sri K Pattabhi Jois. They bear a strong relation to the teachings of his teacher Sri Krishnamacharya, and therewith to a far reaching lineage of important Yoga teachers and Rishis.


Ashtanga Yoga is a powerful system that, when practised on a regular basis, makes one flexible, strong and healthy, both physically and mentally.
The sequences of postures (in the Sanskrit language called Asanas) of this Yoga form is composed in order to detoxify the body, align the muscular and skeletal system and purify the nervous system. Ashtanga Yoga uses a unique method known as Vinyasa, which is the connection between breath and movement. The Vinyasa determines the way the different postures are being linked together. The practice fully unfolds its power when it is combined with the Ujjayi breathing technique and the energetic muscular "locks" called Bandhas. To calm the mind and to deepen the practice even further, the eyes focus on specific points depending on the Asana. Ashtanga Yoga is a dynamic meditation.

Johanna began studying Ashtanga Yoga in 2005 and has been dedicated to this practice ever since. She has been teaching Ashtanga Yoga Mysore style since 2007. In her classes and workshops she seeks to pass on the ingenious system of Ashtanga Yoga as she herself experiences it from her teachers: in a deeply constructive way.

Traditionally Ashtanga Yoga is taught in Mysore Style classes. In this teaching system each student is individually taught the series of Ashtanga Yoga step by step, but within a group class setting. This enables the teacher to guide each student safely through the practice and to be responsive to everyone’s individual needs and learning pace. Information and corrections that support the practitioner and ensure safe practice are communicated verbally as well as through hands-on adjustments. Ashtanga Yoga is a practice for everyone, regardless of age.

These Mysore Style classes offer beginners to build up their own Ashtanga practice and experienced practitioners to go deeper into their practice under the guidance of Johanna Chemnitz. The classes are open to students of all levels.

Drop-in is possible, if not sold out.

The classes are taught in English only, but there will be other students around if you need a word translated into Danish.
