Ashtanga Yoga
Ashtanga Yoga is a calm and dynamic yoga practice that combines slow movements, breath- & internal strength and energy control, for positive self-transformation.
The Ashtanga practice is designed to still the mind through a physical practice, and is divided into four major parts:
– warming up / preparing the mind
– standing postures
– seated postures
– finishing sequence
After a while of practicing, you no longer need to think while you practice, as you will learn a steady pre-set sequence. The concentration deepens and the attention can shift towards your self, and you notice how you and your body slowly starts to change.
The true power lies in the repetition of the practice, as yoga is not a one-time miracle cure for anything. Yoga typically reveals its true powers only with a long-term regular practice.
“Many see the yoga practice as a tool for self-transformation, but I see it more as a tool for self-acceptance. But self-acceptance is a form of transformation in itself.” -Alex

Yoga Students Are Saying
“I started practicing yoga online with Alex during Corona when I was forced to work from home.
To me it was very good to have scheduled activity so it was not only work 24/7. The yoga practice helped me to wind down and lift my energy levels.
Now several months later I am more flexible, have more strength and stability.
I highly appreciate that Alex have had energy to arrange his online courses during the pandemic, when I otherwise would not have had an opportunity to join a yoga class ledd with such a high skill of teaching!”
-MATHIAS
“Alex’s Ashtanga classes give me a good boost. He explains the poses clearly and keeps the vibe relaxed.
The workouts are tough enough to feel progress but never too much. I also like how he listens to us, he offers easier or harder versions of each pose and has a safe option if your knees (or anything else) need extra care.
After just over a month of practice, forward bends and vinyasas already feel easier – my hip flexors have loosened up, so everything flows a bit better.”
-KIMMO
I have had huge problems with (probably) stress-related symptoms in my body.
It has put limitations on my normal training routine. I now feel like the symtoms are slowly getting better thanks to the yoga practice.”

Meet your teacher
Alexander Lemberg – E-RYT & YACEP certified since 2015 (Experienced-Registered Yoga Teacher & Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Provider)
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.
