WAAROM YOGA?

Met yoga houd je energie over

‘Waarom yoga’ vraag je je misschien af. Terwijl je dagelijks tientallen keuzes maakt om mensen en situaties de aandacht te geven die ze verdienen. Je werk, collega’s, gezin, vrienden, familie. En jezelf? Hoe zorg je er nu voor dat je nog energie over hebt voor jezelf?

Dat doe je door jezelf daar heel bewust de tijd en de ruimte voor te gunnen. Dat is wat je met yoga doet. Met yoga kom je op een gezonde manier in beweging waardoor je niet alleen energie verbruikt, maar ook krijgt én overhoudt.

ONVERENIGBARE DINGEN SAMEN

In onze yogalessen leer je dat alles wat je moet, doet en nog wilt vaak prima samen gaan. Zelfs de soms ogenschijnlijk onverenigbare dingen in je leven. Ogenschijnlijk, omdat je vaak ten onrechte denkt dat je iets niet kunt.

In onze yogalessen leer je o.a. je gedachten even uit te zetten. Gedachten die je ervan weerhouden om ‘te gaan doen’ wat je echt wilt. In onze lessen werk je dus niet alleen met je lijf, maar ook met je hoofd en je hart. Zodat je van ‘denken’ naar ‘doen’ leert schakelen. Met meer rust in je hoofd en met beide benen op de grond. Of in de lucht als je een beetje goed oefent…

Extremely knowledgable and caring teachers with classes targeted to all levels of experience. A very welcoming, friendly and relaxed environment. Beautiful large and airy studio with the added comfort of underfloor heating and a vast array of props to accommodate all needs. If a hygienic environment is high on your list of priorities then the modern foot bath station will be an added bonus as to the knowledge that all mats are cleaned after each class. I can't recommend this studio highly enough....come try, I'm sure you'll be happy that you came.

What a great lesson last night! Really good sequences. I could literally feel my body opening and extending more and more as the lesson went on. The effect after was wonderful! I felt so happy, relaxed and de-stressed. Thanks Kristien.

Not a welcoming, friendly, or energy-giving experience on my first visit there. I showed up to the Friday afternoon breathing class as I was seeking this specific kind of class and was met by the owner. As I walked in the door and before a "hello and welcome to our studio," she pointed out that I was new and told me this class wasn't for me. I explained that I was new to the school but not yoga. She then suggested I try some of the other beginner classes before doing this one as this one was focused on breathing. I told her that's exactly what I was looking for and that I was in fact not a beginner. Then she challenged me by asking where I'd studied and with whom, as she informed me, she knew most Iyengar teachers in amsterdam. And I could not remember names of teachers. So then she told me to try a Tuesday morning class with props. I informed her that I don't need props. And this whole experience ended with her suggesting I sign up for a month and try out the classes and get to know the teachers before coming to this particular class. Apparently it's not open to new students of the school or if you're new, you need to bring a CV with experience and teachers. It would have been helpful to know the prerequisites in advance but there was no clear note on the website. I only saw that I needed half a year of yoga experience. I have 20 years. I felt judged upon walking in the door and there were a lot of assumptions about my experience and needs. I would have much appreciated a warm "welcome to the studio" and perhaps some friendly curiosity about my experience, needs and interests before the assumptions, and before telling me it's not for me. At least, that's what I'd expect from a yoga school. In the end, I was turned away and left feeling frustrated, drained, and disappointed. It was quite unfortunate as I'd come in need of a restorative, energy-giving class. If this says anything about the rest of the yoga experience at this school... I believe in second chances and I might give this school another go, but for the moment I prefer a warmer welcome and start to my yoga experience.

This is the nicest yoga-studio - bright, very clean, floor-heating, fully equipped with all the props for every body-shape and age. All the teachers there are very well trained, experienced and empathic. The owner Kristien van Reusel is also a fantastic teacher in the demanding Iyengar-Yoga-teachertraining. During the classes there is a very open and accepting atmosphere there, no show-off at all. Try it out!

Coming to Amsterdam for one week, Iyengar YogaSchool was a wonderful home-away-from-home for me. The studio space is welcoming, generous and full of light. The teachers were professional and caring. Classes were outstanding in terms of teaching and atmosphere, and yet they felt very natural -- an effortless effort. In addition to the regular classes, I also came to the 'free practice' time, where the studio is generously open for everyone to come and practice according to their needs. It was a wonderful opportunity for me to re-connect to myself, and to enjoy the light that yoga practice brings us. To the more experienced practitioners and to the teachers, I would highly recommend to try it out! I would highly recommend this studio to everyone, beginners and professionals, and will certainly come back to it on my next trip to Amsterdam. Namaste!
