Ashtanga Mysore Style

Mysore Style self-practice is the traditional, lineage based method of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga as developed by guru Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, of Mysore, South India. It is a unique and powerful way of developing a yoga practice where individual growth is valued and honoured and all students from beginners to advanced practitioners learn side by side. A qualified teacher will guide students in their practice by introducing them to sun salutations, and then building on that foundation. Postures are taught sequentially, drawing from the Ashtanga set sequences, adding on postures over time. Practice is short initially and grows in duration over time. This approach allows for individual growth where the aptitude of the student determines the rate and need for development, thereby laying a strong foundation that will be of great benefit to any serious student of Yoga. As with all undertakings, commitment often determines progress. Everyone, especially beginners, are most welcome. We look forward to meeting you in the shala.

Pranayama & Meditation

Pranayama & Meditation

Pranayama is a central practice in the traditional Hatha Yoga system. It uses the breath, balancing of subtle energy patterns, energetic cleansing, and locks (Bandhas). This technique is used as a therapeutic/healing practice and for spirit development. It is also a gateway into the deep states of concentration and meditation.
This class is presented in its traditional format, directly from a lineage that dates back generations. It provides a steady, safe opening for students and gives stability and clarity in the physical and mental realms.
It is recommended that students have some experience in Yoga Asana and/or seated Meditation practice before beginning pranayama.

Anusara Yoga (BASIC)

Anusara Yoga (BASIC)

The word Anusara means "to be in the flow of grace". Anusara Yoga is based on Hatha Yoga and combines powerful biomechanical principles of body alignment with a deep spiritual understanding of yoga. Anusara Yoga is also well suited for yoga beginners, because on the one hand each posture is announced with great precision, on the other hand, the high intensity of the exercises at a moderate pace makes it possible to quickly experience the full benefits of the yoga practice.

Karin Rüger

Karin Rüger

Karin has lived on four different continents over the past two decades; today she lives with her family near Biel. Her Yoga began precisely when she was 'secretly' yearning for something 'new' in her life, when she realized she was no longer content with her usual worldly experiences, sensual pleasures and her material success. It was at this time she was introduced to yoga, quite suddenly and intensively and became aware of the incredible effects of yoga. Due to her different areas of training, Karin is registered or licensed with Yoga Alliance (E-RYT 500), Anusara School of Hatha Yoga, Yoga for the Special Child®, LLC and as professional member of Yoga Schweiz. She instructs Teacher Trainings on both the RYT 200 and RYT 500 levels in Biel/Bienne, with a strong focus on the branches of Raja Yoga.

Kimi Fiebig

Kimi Fiebig

Kimi completed a four-year dance training at the Zurich Dance Theater School with a subsequent specialization of Musical Studies in Hamburg. In the meantime she has been performing on stage as a career dancer and choreographer for more than 15 years. 10 years ago Kimi came across yoga while searching for a supplement to her daily dance training. She quickly came to realize that Yoga is not just about physical postures on the mat, but also challenges and aids the entire body and mind. Through regular practice she found a balance to her fast-paced career.
In 2007 Kimi successfully completed the Yoga Alliance 200-hour Teacher Training and in 2013 the 300-hour Advanced Teacher Training at AIRYOGA. These were followed by three Anusara Immersions, a Teacher Training by Katchie Ananda, a module with Shiva Rea and the intensive teacher training with Max Strom. By attending workshops in Switzerland and Germany, she became acquainted with different styles of yoga. Kimi teaches in a dynamic style, which embraces aspects of Vinyasa Yoga. Alongside the wisdom and teachings of Yoga for health, healing and bodily well-being, is the emphasis of a conscious and deep breath. Kimi teaches in German and English by request.

Yin Yoga

Yin Yoga

Yin Yoga is a complementary yoga practice to the more dynamic and invigorating yoga styles. In Yin Yoga, floor postures are held passively for several minutes in order to access a safe and positive 'stress' on the deep layers of connective tissue in the body (especially around joints, in the lower back and along the spine).
Yin Yoga nurtures energetic balance, relaxes us closer to the skeleton and opens the subtle energy channels to let energy (chi, prana, etc.) flow freely again. This leads us to experience a profound sense of inner calm, which allows us to sit in meditation more peacefully.
This practice is appropriate for students of all levels, especially recommended for Ashtanga and Vinyasa Flow Yoga practitioners.

Slow Vinyasa mit Chanting und Meditation

Slow Vinyasa mit Chanting und Meditation

In this late evening class we combine gentle Vinyasa Yoga with chanting and meditation. The class has a calm and meditative character and we keep taking time to be still and feel the effect of the practice. Gentle flowing Vinyasa exercises are preparing body and mind to then acess more subtle levels of awareness with Om-chanting. Meditation is happening. The Gayatri Mantra and Mantras for the energy points in the body (Chakras) are also part of the class. Movement, the vibration of your voice, the extended exhale and the concentration will bring your mind in a calm, present and relaxed state.
This class is open for all levels. No singing experience is required (everybody can chant!).

Jasmin Khalifa

Jasmin Khalifa

Yoga, for Jasmin, is a way to „get on the mat“ and recharge our batteries. Her intention is to establish a connection between Yoga and living a happy, fulfilled daily life. In her classes, Jasmin invites her students to incorporate both strength and serenity in their practice so that they can go back energized and restored to their professional and private lives off the mat. Jasmin’s teaching style is dynamic, energetic and varied. She combines this with breathing and relaxation exercises.
As a business professional in Corporate Communications, Jasmin understands the demands of the corporate world, so when she started looking for ways to balance those challenges she found yoga - or maybe it was yoga that found her! She was immediately fascinated by Yoga’s positive effect on both body and mind.
Jasmin attended her first yoga teacher training at AIRYOGA in Zurich in 2009. Four years later, she completed her 500-hour Yoga Alliance Teacher Training at ISHTA Yoga in Stockholm. In order to deepen her knowledge on what constitute a healthy, sustainable lifestyle she regularly attends workshops and seminars on Mindfulness, Stress Management and Ayurveda.
Jasmin teaches in German and English. Her website is: www.well-at-work.ch
