About the study circle
In this study circle, we explore movement inspired by Hatha yoga. The focus is not on achieving a particular pose or shape, but on being curious about the body and how it feels and moves today.
We explore how movement can create stability and space in the body, and how attention to the body and breath can help us be more present in movement. There is always space to adapt, notice, and find variations that work for your own body.
Prior knowledge
No previous experience is needed. Everyone is welcome, regardless of previous experience.
Format
Each session includes a mix of quieter and more active movement, with time to notice and explore. Movements can be adapted to your own body and how you feel that day.
Good to know

- Wear comfortable clothes that allow you to move freely
- We practise barefoot
- Feel free to bring a yoga mat if you have one. Otherwise, that is perfectly fine—the floor is covered with soft mats.
