Root to Rise
🧘♀️ Two days to ground, grow, and play
A Weekend of Fun Yoga Experiments, including arm balance foundations – even if you’ve never tried one before!
Join Alex in Espoo in his Yoga Workshop where we will experiment with fundamental core principles for your asana practice, and level this off with valuable philosophy to make your practice even more meaningful and fun.
Whether you’re new to yoga or looking to refine your practice, this weekend will offer both clarity and challenge in a supportive setting.
Day One – Saturday
Core Values (2h session) 10.00 – 12.00
On day one we break down the fundamental core principles (pun intended) of the practice, including valuable yoga drills for more stability and core strength.
Philosophy – Pure Consciousness (1h session) 12.00 – 13.00
After all the asana work we will have a look at Patanjali Yoga Sutras. How can we connect our practice with the philosophy of yoga?
You can bring a small snack to have after the practice at 12.00, such as a smoothie or similar. Refridgerator available on location.
Day Two – Sunday
Root to Rise 10.00 – 12.00 (2h session)
On day two, we shift into lightness with accessible foundations for arm balances – even if you’ve never tried one before.
This practice will be in the form of a dynamic yoga flow with drills and introduction to arm balancing.
Philosophy – Pure Consciousness (1h session) 12.00 – 13.00
We continue the philosophy where we left off on Saturday.
And who knows? You might even be able to tie your own shoes in old age 😉 (sure, this might seem like a silly goal… or is this perhaps the ultimate goal? 🤔)

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
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.
