Body river yoga taster at the Sunday brunch dance!
Welcome to an hour of Body River Yoga with Sofia Mörn - professional yoga instructor. Body River Yoga is a very allowing type of yoga - although it is based on classic indian yoga forms, it is more about accepting yourself as you are, finding balance, and enjoyment of your body. This mindset will make you attain a higher level of stretching in a natural way.
Both for men and women and excellent to combine with dancing - or any other activity.
The taster class starts one hour before the Sunday Brunch in city hall. We provide yoga mats, however, the number of mats are limited. If possible please bring your own. Check out more culture activities!
