About The Teachers
Nicolai
Lead Trainer
Nicolai is a technique junkie whose classes centre around body awareness, anatomy and mindful movement. His classes are build up around the wish for his student to empower themselves in their practice and in their life by employing concepts that highlight the power of an explorative practice and way of living.
His classes will often be relatively physically demanding, weather its advanced or gentle practice, yet his lyrical teaching style makes tough active body work accessible for most.
For Nicolai, through physical practice, we can get better and understanding ourselves as it becomes a tangible tool to better access our reaction patterns and our sense of self. We are able to make our complex experiences and problem areas more accessable simply by looking at the way we approach our physical practice, how we meet ourselves and how we respond to the nerve impulses.
Hanne
Hands-on Assists
Hanne will welcome you with a warm smile and soft energy. Her classes is focused on safety first. It is important for her that yoga is fun, but without loosing track on the attention that rests on the journey from the starting point towards a greater awareness.
The foundation for all flows will be the breath and to find the connection to your breath. Without breath there will be no yoga.
She has a profound knowledge in anatomy and will guide you through detailed instructions where she offers gentle adjustment and assist to help find the alignment that will work best for you. Her teaching is inspired by her training in Ashtanga Yoga, Chandra Yoga and Rocket Yoga.
You can expect classes where you build up your strength and flexibility in a way that allows individual modifications and hopefully a laugh or two. When you attend her classes you can feel her deep understanding of yoga.
Cédric
Technique
For Cedric, yoga is a path of self-discovery and an effective way to get into your body and empower yourself. He teaches yoga with devotion and passion and with a strong focus on good alignment. Cedrics classes always revolve around a more general theme and his intention is to open the door to your heart and expand your horizons physically and mentally.
Cedric’s background of interests mixes social sciences, business, research, somatic psychotherapy, eastern philosophy, diverse personal growth modalities, conscious entrepreneurship, poetry, magic, and of course advanced yoga studies, which all led him to live across several countries and languages - from his native France to the US, the UK, and Denmark. Needless to say Cedric loves the diversity and to mix people and bring them together within an inclusive space.
Brit Kim
Ayurveda
The flame of ayurveda was lit in Brit Kim’s heart during her first silence retreat in India back in the 90’ties. Her mantra is, “When you know your Ayurvedic stress type, you can prevent burnout”. For more than 20 years, Brit Kim combined her daily ayurveda practice with an international career in high performance work cultures until in 2017, she started DAYA Ayurveda.
Brit Kim is a current student of Dr. Vasant Lad, The Ayurvedic Institute. She is a certified Ayurveda Therapist under one of the established Indian yoga and ayurveda school and universities and has been studying, practising and teaching ayurveda, mantra meditation and breathwork since 1996.
Cipa
Voice Coach
Follow your intuition listen to your breath and connect to the ground underneath you. Cipa loves to guide you into flows connecting the mind and the body to the sound of your breath. Grounding yourself and calming the body through movement and breath work, giving yourself a break from everything around you is what you can expect in Cipas classes. A calm and lovely voice will guide you through flows and the more technical stuff and sometimes the challenge is to soften and be slow and sometimes it’s to find power and strength trying new poses you’ve never tried before. Cipa is a singer so you can always expect her to finish the class with a little bit of singing in Shavasana. She has educated herself through several TTC's both in Denmark and India and loves to teach Vinyasa, Hatha and sometimes be inspired by Ashtanga.
