See you on the mat.
Hello body, good to feel you again.
Expand from the inside out.
Don’t be rushed, not by me or by anyone else.
This is no rocket science. Keep it simple. Keep it moving.
Inhale floats you up and exhale grounds you down.
Give it all you have but don’t give it more.
Few of the words you might hear in my movement classes. Sunny greetings, Chiara.
My current studio classes:
Shake The Dust | Tuesdays 18:30-19:30 at Sagayoga Punavuori > & Saturdays 13:00-14:00 at Sagayoga Töölö >
Ready to sweat? A poetical workout for everyone with a body. Not yoga, although you might find a sun salutation and savasana. Jumping, shaking, pilates, body weight training and intuitive movement for a strong, resilient body. All supported by a kick-ass playlist! Shake your dust and connect to what is waiting underneath.
Vinyasa | Wednesdays 7:30-8:30 & Saturdays 11:30-12:30 at Sagayoga Töölö >
Connect to your conscious breath and flow through asanas like you mean it! You will strengthen and lengthen your muscles as you move from one pose to the next, allowing your body and the mind to be challenged as they become one. Earlier experience of yoga asana recommended but not required.
Gentle Flow | Saturdays 10:00-11.00 at Sagayoga Töölö >
Allow yourself to surrender, slow down and tap into your spiritual body. See where the breath takes you as you mindfully flow through the asanas in this wonderful mellow sequence. All levels welcome.

MAINFUL
mʌɪn(d)fʊl
Wondered if “Mainful Yoga” is a spelling mistake? Nope. The Main is a river flowing through my hometown Frankfurt.
“We cannot step into the same river twice. Thanks to impermanence, everything is possible.”
