Goal-Oriented mobility and body control
4 Sundays starting 27th April at 6pm
We might have different goals in mind when it comes to physical practise and our bodies. Balance in the body and safe practise is important for all of us.
Noora's course is about goal-oriented mobility and movement control and it suitable for everyone looking for more mobility strength and function in their bodies.
The classes will have different circus, ballet, pilates and yoga based exercises, which when done regularly can help achieve mobility, strenght and flexibility. The practises will help you reach your goals, whether they are those splits or bridges or better forward bending. This course is suitable for anyone because the exercises are completely scalable for different levels.

Noora has graduated as a circus artist in 2012 and is currently working as a freelance poledancing artist. Her teaching experience spans ten years and ranges from poledancing to handstands and acrobatics.
When teaching Noora builds a positive atmosphere where you can feel supported to try your best and enjoy your moments of progress. She wants to support her students in learning to listen to their bodies and working with their current strengths and limitations.

What is Ghosh yoga?
The lineage of yoga is named after Bishnu Charan Ghosh, and it developed in Kolkata, Bengal. Quoting from the Ghosh Yoga website: ”In India and Japan, Ghosh yoga has always been individual and prescriptive. Each person/student has different needs and limitations, and the yoga teacher’s job is to prescribe to each student the appropriate exercises, asanas and meditations to heal their ailments and develop their physical, mental and spiritual potential.”
What is that to do with Original Hot yoga
as we practise it?
The tradition came best known in the west with Bikram Choudhury in the 1970s, who was a student of Bishnu Charan Ghosh. The practise became centered on asana and a set sequence class. He sometimes claimed he taught the 26 postures and 2 breathing exercises as a ”prescription to cure” western lifestyle related issues.
Several of his students when becoming teachers would follow the path back to the Ghosh Yoga College of India too and you may have sometimes noticed mention of Ghosh-Bikram lineage to mark the steps the yoga has been through
in the west, as essentially the asana-focused practise and set sequences were here to stay.
