Yoga in Vienna! (Part II)

As mentioned in Yoga in Vienna! (Part I), I was lucky to attend two yoga classes in Vienna last week! My second yoga experience in beautiful Vienna, at Feelgoodstudio, was a great early evening class with Julia B., in English too! 

Nestled in Feelgoodstudio's quiet courtyard studio, we enjoyed a playful and freeing yoga class with Julia. Some of my favorite moments:

1. Before the class began, Julia gave me some tips on how to gently respect the less flexible areas of my body, to ease into the poses.
2. Julia's class was a playful mix of yoga styles (Vinyasa, restorative, meditation and prana).
3. The class was centered around backbends which were sequenced so that we were able to warm up and then progress deeper in the poses.
4. Julia also led us through a series of circular movements that really helped to open the body and the mind, in a non-judgmental way.
5. These freeing circular motions helped to chip away at some old, stuck patterns of rigid movements, all with a playful free-flowing vibe. This feeling of chipping away reminded me of James Higgins' wonderful workshop.
6. Julia's soft, vocal energy was very relaxing throughout the class.
7. The grand finale, savasana, was enhanced by Julia massaging my shoulders, neck and ears, which was super relaxing.

​Many thanks to Julia and her students for a lovely yoga class. I hope that Retreat Pray Love will return to practice with Julia, Feelgoodstudio and their students very soon.
