Ashtanga Yoga
Led Class: 1/2 Primary Series + Mysore
Our led classes are what most resembles the traditional counted classes where we practice in an uninterrupted flow of breath and movement.
In this class you have the possibility to practice the full primary series of ashtanga yoga.
If the full primary series is new to you, then you will start to learn it slowly in this course, taking your first steps onto the full practice.
First four sessions
In the first 4 sessions, Alex will lead you through the 1/2 primary series (60 minutes), while in the following 4 sessions, Alex will lead you through the full standing sequence (30 minutes), before the Mysore practice.
For those of you who practice purely the second series, you are welcome to do that in the last 4 sessions.
For whom?
– For you who wants to learn properly the Primary Series of Ashtanga Yoga.
– For you who have been practicing a while, and minimum have attended a full beginners course.
What if I don’t want to practice Mysore style?
No problem. After enjoying the led part (about 60 minutes) you can go immediately to the finishing sequence.
If the full Primary Series or the Mysore practice is new to you, you will learn 1-2 new postures the first time, and then go to the finishing sequence on your own. As you progress through the course, you will learn more and more, as long as you practice regularly.

Meet your teacher
Alexander Lemberg – E-RYT & YACEP certified since 2015
Alex is a Swedish-speaking Finn who found yoga by accident due to various health issues, and then became a certified Hatha yoga teacher in 2014.
During the summer of 2015 Alex went to an Ashtanga Yoga summer camp in Houtskari with Petri Räisänen and Juha Javanainen from Helsingin Astangajoogakoulu, and fell in love with the depths of the ashtanga yoga practice.
Since then Alex has been teaching over 5000 hours of yoga classes with a wide range of people, while managing Yogashala Raseborg in Tammisaari, and has actively been practicing with different world renowned teachers on different workshop, such as Eddie Stern, Kino McGregor, Simon Borg-Olivier, and also online courses with David Garrigues.
“To me it’s important that the practices are taught in a safe, healthy and effective way for each student. As a yoga teacher it is important to understand that all people are different, and to embrace the strengths and differences of each individual.
In my teaching style you will learn to turn your senses inward (pratyāhāra), you will improve your focus and learn to practice to the rhythm of your own breath. The meditation and concentration makes the practice meaningful, and is a gateway to your inner dimensions.
