Join us for an exceptional workshop where you will learn the real essence of jump through and jump back, and how to achieve it with absolute perfection. Brinkela will provide you with some remarkable tips and tricks that will help you glide through your Ashtanga practice effortlessly, as you will be mastering the jump through and jump back. Don't miss out on this incredible opportunity to elevate your skills and take your practice to the next level! 

 Jump through and jump backs are an integral part of Ashtanga yoga that links the seated asanas together. They are not only essential for building core strength, strength in arms and wrists, and stamina, but also help reset your spine. Each time you perform a jump back, you will be doing a backbend and a forward bend, along with rounding your back as you jump back to seated. This movement between each side of an asana helps reset your spine. 

Additionally, jumpbacks and jump-throughs are part of the vinyasa count that links movement with breath. This meditative quality of the practice enables you to focus your mind and not drift off. Whether or not you can stick to the vinyasa count, focusing on breath, movement, and Drishti (gaze) allows the practice to become a moving meditation. 

Lastly, jumping back and jumping through is not an easy task, and at times, it can be frustrating. However, it is a lesson in non-attachment. The focus should be on the breath and Drishti, rather than the ability to jump through. The practice is about doing the work, regardless of whether you can jump through or not.

Kundalini Bodywork Experience with Mariana Soares

Welcome to a Kundalini Bodywork group experience!

Kundalini Bodywork is a holistic & integrative therapy that prepares the body for the kundalini to rise and supports those living with an active kundalini.

This therapy is designed to support your healing and transformation, releasing trauma and stuck energy in your chakra system.

This practice changes your body's vibration by working on three levels simultaneously: physical, mental and emotional, or the sex, mind, and heart.

Kundalini Bodywork is Tantric in nature where surrender and free will both play an equally important role in activating the Kundalini energy.

Navigating life with an active Kundalini brings blessings and challenges, and requires adequate support, so that you manifest your life from a place of love and move out of fear, clearing the path for the Kundalini to rise.

Mariana will facilitate this experience in a small gathering of 10 people, through meditation, shaking, breathwork, body de-armouring, and energetic bodywork.

Come with an open heart and mind, and set your intention for the practice, as it brings power to your experience!

Looking forward to supporting you on your journey back to your Self!

When: Saturday, 13. April

Time: 12:30 - 14:30

Price: You can join for a single session for 380,- or get an immersion pass 1250,-

This is Breathwork Immersions - a breath centered healing program running over three consecutive weeks.

Breathwork is a remarkable modality - yielding what is often described as a miraculous results of healing and self discovery.

Three weeks of prioritized self care - a chance to refresh your aim towards the life of deeper purpose you know is possible.

These immersions are designed to support you in receiving the full range of benefits this practice gives - those who sprout instantly during the breathing, and those who grow slowly over time as the new-found insights are integrated into your everyday life.

SpaceBreath with Mats Onsum and Jakob Horvat

Welcome to SpaceBreath with Mats Onsum and Jakob Horvat - a journey into the depths of yourself, and the perfect beginning into a new week.

We gather to explore the magic and potential of the breath through various exercises, from yogic pranayama to the Wim Hof method, to more intense breathwork like holotropic, programming the nervous system to de-stress, lead us out of rumination and into deep relaxation.

The breathing is accompanied by a playful and deep musical landscape, occasionally sprinkled with poetry. Mats and Jakob will lead and assist the breathing exercises throughout the journey with the aim of giving you a cosmic experience while staying grounded in the body.

Let's come together to increase well-being and sail into the new week with more presence, connection and awareness.

Mats teaches yoga and breath for several yoga centers and companies in and outside Oslo, which he has been doing full-time since 2016. He has also written poetry since he was a child and songs since his teenage years, and confidently holds space as a result of the hundreds of concerts and thousands of yoga sessions on his repertoire.

Jakob Horvat

Jakob is an Oslo based men’s coach, breathwork facilitator, meditation teacher and passionate student of life. Born, raised and rooted in Austria, Jakob discovered breathwork as a powerful healing and guiding modality in 2019, when he received his guidance to pursue a path as a facilitator and coach in a breathwork session in Vienna. Ever since he has been fascinated by our breath’s capacity to transform limiting beliefs, release stuck energy in the body and connect us with a higher truth of life.

He’s been trained in Biodynamic Breathwork & Trauma Release System, loves the ocean, the forest and a good cup of cappuccino.

Program:

We begin with a grounding meditation and some exercises to connect with the space and each other, followed by yogic pranayama (kapalbhati) to prepare the body and mind for the more intense breathing exercises. We then move into a remix of the Wim Hof method before launching the spaceship further out and deeper in through more intense breathwork a la holotropic breath, before returning safely back to Earth to decompress.

The event will take place at Northern Light Yoga in Oslo. Even though the studio is well-equipped, it may be wise to bring a shawl or blanket, as well as warm clothes, for extra comfort.

To ensure that everyone gets the support they need and to create a safe atmosphere, we always ensure to have at least one facilitator or assistant for every 20 participants. Your safety and well-being are our top priorities.

Ecstatic Serpent Dance - Womb Celebration

Welcome to a journey of deep transformation and connection to our most sacred, intimate space: the womb. This is the temple of vital energy for creation. The force within, needed to bring our dreams into reality, our motivation, will to create, drive and passion for life.

This workshop will guide you in deep connection, awakening and transmuting of the Sacred energy, so that you can access or unlock more of this Life Force into every day life.

We will begin with a series of dedicated Kundalini Yoga Kriyas, followed by a deep meditation.

If any blockages or stuck energy arise, you will be guided to release it.

Next, we will raise this energy and transmute it to all parts of the body, through a guided journey of music and dance. This is where you can allow yourself to feel free and express in whichever way it feels good.

The music selection is carefully curated and will take you on a journey where the hips will want to move by themselves. There is a remembrance in all of us, on how the organic sounds of drums and percussion, awaken the feet, hips and navel. You can expect mystic, tribal and organic percussion to prevail through out the set. It is therefore encouraging to bring a scarf to tie around the hips, in a belly dance style. This is to remain connected to our womb though out the dancing.

The workshop is intended to help you connect, release and engage with yourself in a deep but liberating, fun way.

Looking forward to dance with all of you!

Winter-solstice Rebirthing the Light Celebration

On 21.12. is winter solstice, the shortest day of the year, when the cycle of the sun returns. In many ancient cultures, this is a special day on which we celebrate the return of the light.

As the outer light reflects and reminds us of our inner light, the light of the soul, we have the opportunity to remember our essence, our origin, and our destiny - what is light.

This day gives an opportunity for an elementary reset - in the darkest hour, we let go and retrieve what we want to bring into the light and foster during the upcoming solar cycle to bring into full fruit.

We will practice a powerful Kundalini rebirthing kriya to break down our old habits, relieve the pain of outlived past memories, and establish a deep connection with our true self, our sat nam - a pure vibration of light. The evening will be a beautiful community event full of meditative movements, voice activation, chanting, and sharing. We will serve some original yogi tea.

The event is open for everyone, join as member and clip-card holder or buy a drop in.

Yoga & Tea with Mao and Mats

You know what goes really well together? Yoga and tea! And not just any random Lipton or Twinings tea from the grocery store down the street. We're talking high-quality Chinese tea from various regions of China, imported and distributed by Mao's own little local tea shop, LMTea.

In this event Mats Onsum and Maoting Lu are joining forces to provide a journey through breath, movement, and meditation, accompanied by wonderful scents and flavors from selected teas brewed in a traditional and ceremonial fashion, where the brewing of the tea is a mindfulness practice in and of itself. Our aim is to enter a state of calmness, openness, and mindfulness before appreciating the rich flavors and sensory impressions and the uplifting or calming energies of the various teas.

Give yourself some space during this final month of the year - and everything that comes with it - to lower your shoulders, clear your mind, and enjoy the small things in life. This is also the perfect gift for loved ones who could benefit from slowing down and (re)connecting with the body, breath, and senses.

The yoga and pranayama (breathing techniques) offered is calm, and suitable both for beginners and advanced practitioners. We have all the props needed in the studio, meaning you only have to bring yourself, a water bottle, and some comfy, cozy clothes that do not restrict movement. Show up around 15 minutes before the event starts to find your place, get situated, and help us make the start of the event as smooth as possible.

There will also be a variety of teas and teaware for sale after the event, with special discounts on selected teas and tea sets, as well as loads of wonderful items in Northern Light's little yoga shop. In other words plenty of potential gifts for family and friends, or to oneself as a self-love practice.

Kundalini Yoga Intensive - Release and Relaxation into Self with Anniken Mikkelborg

Autumn brings a unique opportunity for transformation through letting go

Our ego constantly creates ideas, stories and fantasies for how we want things to be, which are often the result of thought patterns that were formed from experiences and traumas in our childhood. This settles in the body as pain/blockages.

By opening up and letting the energy flow, you peel away layer by layer all the notions the ego has created for you as a form of protection. Until you come into the core of yourself, where your natural existence of peace and joy is. This is a constant process we do again and again, and the light of the soul shines stronger and stronger.

We will practice various powerful kriyas, where you will have the opportunity to dive deep into yourself, bring awareness to what lies in the subconscious and release energetic blockages that have accumulated over time.

There will be 5 sessions that will take you on a journey through various emotions we experience as humans. Here is a unique opportunity to be able to let go of what weighs you down and keeps you from living out your true self.

The Kriyas will be taught full time, which will challenge you physically, emotionally and mentally. There will be longer exercises and meditations in some of the kriyas, where you develop and strengthen your meditative mind and are able to observe what’s moving within you and allow what ever comes up to be released.

During extended rest, you receive healing vibrations from the Gong, which support the integration of the practice and take you deep into your inner self.

We finish with mantra meditations that give you the experience and depth of yourself as a soul. Mantra cuts through the thought patterns of the mind, strengthens and balances the nervous system, opens up new perspectives and brings you into harmony with yourself and in meeting the world around you.

* Week 5 - 5. October

Self Reliance - The key to live a joyful life

Rely on your self, the universe has your back no matter what.

Trust that everything that happens on your path is for your highest good, even if it doesn't always feel that way.

Trust that what ends is meant to have an ending. And when something comes to an end, trust that something new that serves you will come into your life.

Trust that you will never be abandoned, even if you experience people leaving you.

Trust in the love that always is, your core, your stillness that is always present during all the changes you experience as a human being.

With trust, fear ceases - it is an inner knowing that you are safe. With strong self reliance, both you and those around you are protected. You are at flow and at peace.

Attitude of Gratitude

Celebrate autumn with Kundalini Practice of Gratitude. As the seasons shift, trees shed their leaves and the days gradually become shorter, we relax into a sense of relief and gratitude that what we dreamed of in summer has been fulfilled.

The practice brings an opportunity to give thanks to what has been, prepare for what’s to come and make use of what is found in the present moment. We will focus on connecting ourselves with our inner sense of abundance and cultivating the attitude of gratitude. We will together search for a place of stillness by the extended practices of breath, relaxation and mantra meditation.

Alla will take us through the process of pranayama, kriya, relaxation and meditation with kundalini mantras to offer our gratitude. She will guide through this practice along with an ambient musician and singer Atul who will bring his voice and minimal music to the event, to create a comfortable atmosphere and collective presence in the space.

A small homemade snack and tea will be offered after the practice.

Enhance your personal practice and align with the season.

Kundalini Yoga Intensive - Release and Relaxation into Self with Anniken Mikkelborg

Autumn brings a unique opportunity for transformation through letting go

Our ego constantly creates ideas, stories and fantasies for how we want things to be, which are often the result of thought patterns that were formed from experiences and traumas in our childhood. This settles in the body as pain/blockages.

By opening up and letting the energy flow, you peel away layer by layer all the notions the ego has created for you as a form of protection. Until you come into the core of yourself, where your natural existence of peace and joy is. This is a constant process we do again and again, and the light of the soul shines stronger and stronger.

We will practice various powerful kriyas, where you will have the opportunity to dive deep into yourself, bring awareness to what lies in the subconscious and release energetic blockages that have accumulated over time.

There will be 5 sessions that will take you on a journey through various emotions we experience as humans. Here is a unique opportunity to be able to let go of what weighs you down and keeps you from living out your true self.

The Kriyas will be taught full time, which will challenge you physically, emotionally and mentally. There will be longer exercises and meditations in some of the kriyas, where you develop and strengthen your meditative mind and are able to observe what’s moving within you and allow what ever comes up to be released.

* Week 4 - 28. September

Expand and Strenghten your Joyful Heart

In order to experience true joy, trust and be satisfied, we must be in touch with our soul, our Sat Nam. With a giving and receptive heart, we also need the strength to be able to preserve it. By strengthening the nervous system and our magnetic field, the body's capacity to hold the soul's consciousness increases and allows it to expand.

Negativity bounces off, while positive energy enriches you. You stand strong in yourself and are able to distinguish what is your energy and what is other people's energy.

You are like a magnet for the manifestation of what you deeply desire and serves your highest good. Your presence lifts others.

When you are in your Sat Nam, your true expression, you also see others as part of yourself. Love and compassion for yourself and all living beings is your natural being.

Let go of grief - Dive deep

Grief if the shadow side of the Heart Centre. The longing to belong, the sadness of having to let go of what you thought you were supposed to be. Maybe you have lost someone or something in your life, or even parts of your self.

Grief often comes in waves of emotions. It is essential for your wellbeing to let the waves come, ride the wave and let it go as it passes by.

By allowing grief to express itself and truly feel it, it can be released and transformed into the eternal love that you are. A tremendous gratitude unfolds, which is magnetic to the attraction of all that is in line with your soul and your highest good.
