Class descriptions

There classes based on the Kalkutta tradition provide a strong foundation for asana practise.

26&2 asanan sarja. 90 minuutin tunti. Alkuperäisen hotjoogasarjan 26 asentoa harjoitellaan aina samassa järjestyksessä. Tunnilla on aina seisomasarja, lattiasarja ja hengitysharjoitus alussa ja lopussa.

Familiar sequence is easy to follow and you always know how the class will unfold. The series will help you to build balance, mobility and coordination skills and is perfect for all level of practitioners, including beginners.

It might take a few visits to get used to exercising in the heat, but regular practice makes the heat a friend rather than a challenge.

Hot classes are around 40°C

Original

This is the same series as the 90 minute class. Progressing one asana at a time through the 26&2 series, the postures are done once or twice. The series develops balance, strength, flexibility, healthy spine movement, concentration and determination.

Rove

”to travel around with a sense of curiosity; purposeful roaming”

Rove brings more variation to the hot classes. This class combines the elements of traditional hot yoga with the opportunity to explore new dimensions in your practice! In addition to the classic asanas, there are options and variations available to expand your asana skills. The practice progresses at a slow and considered pace.

40°C

This intermediate 90 minute heated class still features all of the asanas you already know but we also build on that foundation to practise new skills and new asanas from the wider tradition.

We learn new things in stages and at the level that suits you, so you can come to this class as soon as you feel like you do not need detailed instruction to practice the beginner class asanas.

The intermediate skills required for this class are some awareness of your own abilities so you know what to try and what to pass, and patience for yourself and your practice as you are learning new things. The teacher will always have variations and modifications to help you.

This class was originally developed to bridge the gap from the beginner class to the 84 Asanas, which traditionally was quite a wide river to cross. Our version of this class is based on the Esak Garcia E84 Intermediate series.

The class is built from postures across the full tradition, together with mobility and balance work.

Roots is a calm series that builds a strong foundation for practice and clarifies both method and technique. The practice progresses logically and creates space to perceive how postures are constructed.

The focus shifts slightly from class to class. We use familiar postures and asana-based exercises to work on balance, spinal mobility, and supportive strength.

Roots works well as a lighter practice day and is also designed to be beginner-friendly. You can join if you want to strengthen the foundations of your asana practice and work more deeply within a familiar tradition.

Noin 30°C

This two hour joy of communal yoga practice is a set sequence of the over 100 possible postures of our tradition. Also called The Advanced Class traditionally, it holds a lot of new asana skills the beginner class does not, like for example arms balances, inversions and deeper backbends.

Doing a two hour yoga practice while being aware of your own body’s limits and possibilities can be an amazing way to dig deeper into your own practice. Questions are allowed and sharing a practise as a community is of course important to us all.

However, we recommend you already have a solid practice of the 26 posture sequence (or some other disciplined yoga practice) as those postures feature here but are not taught in detail.

The skills that you gain in the beginner classes regarding using your strength and flexibility in a mindful way- as well as understanding your own abilities will keep you safe and happy here.

38-40°C

Strength, coordination, support.

Warrior Training alternates between asana-based isometric strength work and long yin-style stretches. An isometric hold means the muscles work without movement. Holding a position for up to a minute builds strength and supports joint stability.

A long hold, however, is not only physical. When a posture is maintained calmly under load, we also practise keeping the breath steady and the mind clear. Strength can be built without urgency or overexertion.

Yksinkertainen rakenne antaa tilaa keskittyä olennaiseen: linjaukseen, hengitykseen ja omaan työskentelyyn.

Sarjan vahvuus on sen yksinkertaisuus. Jokainen pystyy tähän oman kehonsa rajoissa. Vaikka asanat ovat Kalkutan perinteestä ja yin-tunneilta tuttuja, mitään ei tarvitse osata valmiiksi!

Warrior Training in the Park!

As the weather allows, Warrior Training might appear outside in a park near you. Check the schedule for details!

Pilates will really strenghten core support. It builds balance and body coordination.

Heat will raise your heart rate and make the work more intense. The work is in small moves tat are felt clearly and effectively. Every practise done in this class can be varied to all levels.

The class is suitable for everyone who is happy to practise in a heated room.

Bear is a primal movement session built around ground-based movement. We use gravity and body weight as tools.

“Primal movement” refers to fundamental human movement patterns — how we moved before we learned to sit at desks. Rolling, squatting or supporting our body weight on hands and feet.

Many of these movement patterns disappear in adult life. Reintroducing them can restore coordination, reduce stiffness and support both your asana practice and everyday tasks.

The fun class is suitable for any level. It is fine to take pauses or drop knees down. We do a gradual build-up so you can stay at a level that feels right.

Around 35°C

Elevate is for anyone whose body experiences repetitive strain – whether you’re an athlete or spend long hours sitting. The class focuses on dynamic movement, muscle activation, and joint health.

It is not a yin-style stretch session, but an intelligent and dynamic practice that helps restore your body’s natural, functional movement.

This class supports recovery from physical strain, sitting, or stiffness in the neck, shoulders, and hips. For some, it can feel like a strenght class – especially if you’re not used to using your arms or core.

Lotta's Spring season running technique classes appear in the schedule every now and again. Your speed does not matter, the hour long outdoor class contains proper warm-up and breathing technique work and drills to find a good running speed, hill runs and more.

Flowing practise and plenty creative choreography.

Vinyasa is a modern style of yoga that combines asanas with the connecting movement into a continuous flow. The practise can build strength, mobility and body control. The warm vinyasa classes are around 30C warm and each asana sequence is designed by the teacher leading the class, so expect variety and new things often.

Rocket vinyasa builds strength, mobility and focus. This is a set sequence class. Following a structures sequence that does not change will leave out the "I wonder what happens next" -thoughts and will support awareness building of your own practise as well as builda more focused and meditative flow. Many practitioners of 26&2 would already know this. 

Rocket has been called the "original power yoga" and the sequences based on ashtanga vinyasa were depeloped by Larry Schultz.

Slower practices to support recovery, focus, and mobility.

Yin yoga is a slow, meditative practice where postures are held for longer periods, typically between three and six minutes.

As a counterbalance to more dynamic practices, Yin offers space to slow down and unwind. The longer holds support nervous system settling and support the body’s ability to stay at the edges of range of motion without using forceful stretches.

Our Yin classes are practised in the afterheat of the hot lcasses. You can expect the temperature to still be warm, around 28–30 °C.

Self-myofascial release.

These classes appear irregularly currently. This grounding, practical session teaches you how to release tension through targeted pressure using massage balls. We work slowly and systematically through areas where the fascia — the connective tissue web that surrounds and supports your muscles — can feel stiff, sticky or tired from everyday movement, training, or stress.

Around 28–30 °C.

(Our most popular private class for groups.)

This class is designed to show you simple ways to release shoulder, neck, and upper-back tension.

This fully beginner friendly class is slow and gentle, you won't break a sweat. It allows you to move and stretch in a way that might not be possible at your desk, easing the strain that builds up from long hours in static positions. We hope to give you practical tools so you can move through your day with more ease even on the days you cannot come to class.

Not heated or heated to 28–30 °C.

Pranayama&Meditation

One of the original goals of asana practise was to enable the yogi to sit still in meditation. Today of course we practise for various reasons - for exercise, for stretching, for low-impact exercise recovery or moving meditation. There is no one reason to yoga.

You might find however that asana practice quite naturally leads to interest in your breathing and that in turn can spark curiosity for mindfulness and meditation.

Erilaiset hengitystekniikat ja meditaatio auttavat keskittymään hengityksen tahtiin ja laatuun, omaan mieleen ja kehon tuntemuksiin.

These classes are not heated.
