This class blends the flow of Vinyasa with the steady grounding of Hatha. Through mindful sequencing, we build energy in the body with breath-led movement, then pause to hold selected postures, creating space to explore alignment, stillness, and deeper breathing. The focus on steady holds, conscious transitions, and connection to the breath helps calm the nervous system and bring awareness back to the body. You’ll work close to the earth - through strong standing poses and stable foundations - cultivating a sense of stability and inner balance.The practice balances effort and ease, inviting both strength and softness, so you leave feeling energised, centred, and deeply rooted. Open to all levels. This class is held in English. You can bring your mat or use one of ours.

**Jeden Mittwoch von 18:30 – 20:30 Uhr auf Deutsch.** Probemonat für 15,00 €. **Kursbeschreibung Traditioneller Tantra Yoga Kurs** Tantra Yoga ist weit mehr als Erotik mit Räucherstäbchen, wie es heutzutage in der westlichen Welt oft fälschlicherweise präsentiert wird. Tantra Yoga ist die Wissenschaft des Universums, die Wissenschaft des Lebens. Es bietet uns ein tiefes Verständnis der Funktionsweisen des Universums und seiner Prinzipien. Wer die Tantra Yoga Lehre für sich umsetzt, fängt an zu begreifen warum die Dinge so sind wie sie sind – und wie man genau das für die eigene spirituelle Entwicklung nutzen kann. Für einen Tantriker ist alles eins, ein großes kosmisches Ganzes, in das sich alle Wesen und alle Phänomene eingliedern. Und wenn alles aus einem großen Ganzen, einem einzigen heiligen, schöpferischen Bewusstsein hervorgeht, gibt es nichts das nicht heilig wäre. Wer Tantra Yoga lebt, begreift das Leben als einen Schöpfungsprozess, als ein göttliches Spiel, dessen Ziel es ist zurück zu kehren in die Glückseligkeit der Einheit mit allem. Auf diese Weise werden der Weg zur Arbeit, der neue Geschäftsabschluss, das Liebesspiel und sogar emotionale Regungen wie Unzufriedenheit u. ä. zum Antrieb ständigen Wachstums und zum Grund glückseliger Fröhlichkeit. Tantra Yoga nennt das Leben eine Achterbahn, und Achterbahn fahren macht Spaß – egal ob wir gerade den Berg hoch oder runter rauschen! Der Traditionelle Tantra Yoga Kurs gibt uns Werkzeuge an die Hand, das Leben zu verstehen und freudig zu leben, immer vor dem Hintergrund des kontinuierlichen spirituellen Wachstums.

**Hatha to Yin** is a balanced practice that begins with gentle, grounding Hatha movements and transitions into the deep stillness of Yin. The first half of the class focuses on mindful, steady postures that build strength, stability, and awareness through breath-led movement. As the body warms and the mind centres, the practice gradually slows down into longer-held Yin poses, allowing deep release and inner calm. This combination of Hatha and Yin cultivates both energy and relaxation - strength and softness, movement and stillness. Each session closes with a short breathing and meditation sequence to integrate the practice and leave you feeling grounded and centred. The class is held in English and is beginner-friendly. Bring your own mat or use one of ours.

These vinyasa classes are positively dynamic, soft and strong as silk, always connecting to the deep, guiding you gently to the awareness of your breath to calm the mind and release the body of unnecessary tension. Modifications of the poses are offered to better suit each practitioner, from experienced beginners to advanced. Taping into a background of cultural diversity, dance and massage therapy, these sessions are a holistic practice with asanas, free form movement, music, voice, and silence. Each month the classes have a specific focus (i.e. twists, balance, resilience, chakras) to effectively process and develop the connection between mind, body, and spirit. **deutsch** Vinyasa Yoga ist gezeichnet durch fließende Bewegungen und Sequenzen von Asanas die bewusst in Verbindung mit der Atmung stehen.

From the very beginning, I have immersed myself in a spiritual women’s group, which has been a profound source of support and growth. Yoga and Tantra Yoga have brought incredible balance, harmony, and a deeper understanding of myself, truly transforming my life. Throughout my journey with the traditional integral Yoga system, I’ve learned practical ways to bring calm and balance into daily life, even in challenging times. Completing my Tantra Yoga for Women Instructor Training was a turning point, as it allowed me to blossom in ways I hadn’t thought possible. Being surrounded by a nurturing sisterhood showed me the immense power of women uplifting one another, and I now feel called to share this path with other women who seek similar transformation. In this **Tantra Yoga for Women** group, I am excited to lead you through these teachings, helping you connect deeply with your feminine energy and support your blossoming into fullness and joy. Together, we’ll create a safe and sacred space where you can embrace your own potential, find balance, and build bonds with a supportive community of women. I look forward to sharing this journey with you! **Price per month** Normal: 30,00 € ***Note:*** Over Meetup you can only sign-up for the first month for 10,00 €.

**Naked Yoga for Men\*** with ***Merdan Akbayir*** **[Book a Ticket](https://wearevillage.org/en/shop/naked-yoga/w10-2026)** **Member: 10 €** **Regular: 25 €** In this nude yoga class we will explore our own fragility and vulnerability, free from disguise and in a safe environment. What do I feel like when I'm not wearing clothing? How long does it take for me to get used to being the way nature had made me? Naked yoga dates back to a few thousand years ago. It was a spiritual tradition where nothing, not even a loincloth should be between you and your divine nature - a form of ultimate renunciation of worldly matters. There will be no particular focus on eroticism or sexuality. All parts and aspects of our bodies are equally acknowledged as being part of our lives. **General Information** **Language**: This event will be in English. **Cost**: This event is also available at a reduced member price – but not part of the two-free-monthly-events benefit. **Material**: Please bring a towel to cover the yoga mat, yoga block, or cushion. 🔵 **[Nackt-Yoga für Männer*](https://wearevillage.org/shop/naked-yoga/w10-2026/)** mit ***Merdan Akbayir*** In dieser Nackt-Yogastunde werden wir unsere eigene Zerbrechlichkeit und Verletzlichkeit erforschen, frei von Bekleidung und in einer sicheren Umgebung. Wie fühle ich mich, wenn ich keine Kleidung trage? Wie lange dauert es, bis ich mich daran gewöhnt habe, so zu sein, wie die Natur mich geschaffen hat? Nacktes Yoga geht auf eine Tradition zurück, die einige tausend Jahre alt ist und bei der nichts, nicht einmal ein Lendenschurz, zwischen dir und deiner göttlichen Natur stehen sollte - eine Form der ultimativen Entsagung von weltlichen Dingen. Erotik und Sexualität stehen dabei nicht im Vordergrund. Alle Teile und Aspekte unseres Körpers werden gleichermaßen als Teil unseres Lebens betrachtet. **Hinweise** **Sprache**: Dieses Event wird auf Englisch sein. **Kosten**: Dieses Event ist auch zu einem ermäßigten Mitgliederpreis erhältlich – aber kein Bestandteil der zwei kostenlosen monatlichen Mitgliederveranstaltungen. **Material**: Bitte bring ein Handtuch mit, um die Yogamatte, den Yogablock oder das Kissen abzudecken.
