The Strength and Grace of Vinyasa – part 2
2023-04-08 14:30 - 17:00 (Europe/Amsterdam) | Rocket, Rosendaalsestraat 361B, Arnhem, 6824CT, Netherlands
This 2 part series will show you the real strength and grace that can come from vinyasa.The vinyasas are simply movements that are linked with breaths and are used as the transitions between the asanas or postures.
In part 2 of this series we will be covering the vinyasa sequences of the seated series. It is in these specific transitions where ashtanga gets its reputation of creating powerful practitioners. Practitioners are not required to attend part 1 as a prerequisite although it would be advised for those new to ashtanga.

Handstands: Standing with Confidence
2023-04-09 10:00 - 12:30 | Rocket, Rosendaalsestraat 361B, Arnhem, 6824CT, Netherlands
Handstands are a difficult road, plain and simple, and don’t think that the people you see online floating up and down were without their individual struggles.
Before you can find balance you must have the required strength to hold your body with confidence. You will learn several techniques to build this power and then ways of finding your center to avoid that tipping point. There are no secret formulas or magic potions that will make this happen.
Instead you will be armed with the tools Marque teaches you and your own perseverance. If you stick to this journey you will come out on the other side changed and with a new sense of self-empowerment.

Workshop Intelligent Backbends: The Healing Practice of Spinal Extension
2023-04-09 14:30 - 17:00 | Rocket, Rosendaalsestraat 361B, Arnhem, 6824CT, Netherlands
Join Marque Garaux, KPJAYI Level 2 authorized Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga teacher joins us for a weekend full of workshops.
The way you move today, greatly affects the way you will move tomorrow. The average individual on any given day will move their spine into flexion far more than they will move it into extension.
Our daily activities and gravity are moving us forward at such a highly repetitive rate that the soft tissues connected to the spine will inevitably weaken, at some point the spine will lose it’s natural S curve, and we will be left with a chronic pain that makes us want to move less and less.
This is all avoidable if you learn to counter the movements of daily life with an intelligent and balanced yoga practice. Join Marque Garaux for an anatomical discussion, practical application and Q and A.

Yin Yoga XL: Starry Night with Cacao & Sound Experience
2023-10-28 19:30 - 21:00 | Rocket, Rosendaalsestraat 361B, Arnhem, 6824CT, Netherlands
Let’s go deep into a relaxed state, activating the six senses, yes the six.
This evening of Yin Yoga will start with drinking pure cacao to open the heart with the sense of taste. We will set intentions using the power of Full Moon meditation and seal them with vocal vibration. Next we will journey into a galactic visualization of projected images and become aware of our sight senses.
The Somatosensory and olfactory senses will be awakened safely during this interstellar Yin Yoga voyage of Sound Healing.
The combination of deep relaxation and deep meditation within the forces of the five senses will guide you to access your sixth sense: intuition. After this experience, you will be ready to follow your Spirit, full of self-love, and feel secure to move through the stars on your own path.

Workshop Alignment: Vind Je Asana
2023-12-29 09:00 - 12:00
Blijven sommige houdingen heel zwaar voelen? Voel je niet goed waar je lichaam is in een houding of hoe deze nu eigenlijk zou moeten? Of voelt het misschien soms té gemakkelijk en vraag je je af wat je nu precies zou moeten voelen?
We kennen allemaal die perfecte foto’s van houdingen en soms lijkt het misschien alsof er maar één manier is om een houding te doen. Maar elk lichaam is anders en elke houding kan gelukkig op veel manieren gedaan worden zodat deze past voor jouw lichaam.
In deze workshop ga je ontdekken hoe je lichaamsdelen reageren op elkaar wanneer we naar een houding toe bewegen en hoe dat de houding zelf beïnvloedt. Zo leer je waar je misschien meer ruimte hebt dan je dacht, waar je misschien beter een stapje terug kunt doen of waar je de focus kunt weerleggen om jezelf op een bewuste en veilige manier wat meer uit te dagen.

Introduction to Mysore with Tina Rumenović
2024-01-13 13:00 - 16:00
In this 3h introduction to Mysore practice workshop, we will start with a short talk about Ashtanga Yoga practice and how it’s traditionally taught and passed on by teachers to students in ashtanga linage. We will debunk some frequently believed myths about Myosre practice and experience first hand what a mysore class feels like. As well as learn about fundamental posture and 3 places of attention that make ashtanga yoga a moving meditation.
During this workshops we will also be exploring the most basic alignment rules and body mechanics that we apply while practicing asana. We will apply all those while learning sun salutations but also carry that same idea further in more complex postures later in the sequence.
After short break we will actually start a mysore practice with Tina guiding everyone individually, giving hands on adjustments and have experience first hand what it is like to practice in a mysore room and get to feel that “mysore magic”.
After everyone is finished and have taken rest, we will come back all together for a closing talk, where Tina will share some ideas about how to build your own sadhana (daily practice)- and give tips to make it an energizing, sustainable and meaningful yoga practice. There will also be lots of time for all your questions and sharing stories.

– About the teacher:
My name is Tina, I am originally from Croatia where I followed my very first yoga class in 2007. I moved to The Netherlands (for love) in 2010. I have practiced several dynamic yoga styles throughout my yogic explorations but have really fell in love with Ashtanga yoga. I have been a dedicated Ashtanga yoga practitioner and have kept my daily practice for almost 10 years now, but have started diving deeper into the practice and study of yoga more than 16 years ago.
My daily sadhana (practice) and my teachers David Robson and Jelena Vesić are my main source of knowledge, who are direct students of Sharath Jois. I have studied with many reputable ashtanga teachers in the past, but have found a deep human connection with David and Jelena and can proudly call them my teachers.
I have been practicing regularly with David and Jelena since 2019. I have done many trainings, retreats, workshops and intensives with them and I proudly share this knowledge further with my own students.
Since 2022 I have started to assist David & Jelena in several intensives and retreats around the world and I continue to learn regularly from them as much as possible making several trips per year to practice with them in person, as well as weekly online practice when they are not traveling.
In February 2024 I am going to make my first trip to Myosre India, to practice with Sharath Jois himself, at Sharath Yoga Centre, who is the current Ashtanga Yoga lineage holder and the main authority in ashtanga yoga. He is the grandson of Pattabhi Jois, the founder of Ashtanga yoga.
I started to teach yoga in 2014, and by now I am running a daily mysore program in Amsterdam at Tula yogastudio, for more than 4 years now, where I’m the main ashtanga teacher and am teaching several led classes with traditional vinyasa count next to mysore program as well.
I look forward to sharing my decade long study of Ashtanga Yoga, and can’t wait to meet you and guide you on your path of discovering this practice and its depths as well.

Handstand Workshop met Ezra & Rianne
2024-07-27 12:00 - 15:00
Bij deze alweer zesde editie bouwen we voort op de fundamenten die we in de eerdere workshops hebben gelegd. We gaan dieper in op de fijne kneepjes van de handstand en focussen op het verfijnen van technieken om jouw balans en stabiliteit te verbeteren, zowel binnen als buiten jouw yogapractice. Is dit jou eerste keer? Geen zorgen je kan gewoon instappen!
We zullen ons richten op de volgende aspecten:
* Verfijnen van pols- en schoudermobiliteit om een perfecte uitlijning te bereiken.
* Versterken van handen, armen, schouders en core voor een betere stabiliteit en draagkracht van jouw lichaam.
* Integratie van de handstand in jouw persoonlijke yogareis, waardoor je een diepere verbinding met je practice kunt bereiken.
De workshop zal opnieuw worden opgedeeld in twee delen.
In het eerste deel zullen we werken aan het verfijnen van een gebalanceerde handstand, met aandacht voor verschillende versies opgebouwd vanaf de frogstand. We gaan van het oefenen tegen de muur naar het verkennen van partnerondersteuning en uiteindelijk naar het uitvoeren van de vrijstaande handstand. Hier zullen we de meeste tijd aan spenderen. We bouwen verder vanaf het punt waar we de eerste keer zijn geëindigd.
Na een korte pauze gaan we verder met een handstand yoga flow, waarin we alle geleerde technieken samenvoegen tot één geheel.
De workshop blijft toegankelijk voor deelnemers van alle niveaus dankzij het gebruik van partnerbegeleiding en de ondersteuning van de muur. Echter, het vasthouden van een handstand tegen de muur blijft een vereiste voor deelname. Zo kunnen we voortbouwen op de vaardigheden die je al bezit.
De workshop zal doorgaan bij minimaal 5 deelnemers en wordt in het Nederlands gegeven – this workshop will be taught in Dutch.
