Tangled Yoga
Yoga classes in Luxembourg
Life is a gift, but it’s also a piece of art. Each morning we get up to create our master piece adding new experiences, learnings and memories into it. However it can be disrupted by stress, tiredness or any other numerous negative things.
Through yoga you can create mindful life, where you become aware of your own “knots”. Some of them you like and want to preserve, others need to be untangled and released. Come and join me in my tangled journey!
About me
My name is Kasia. I was always fascinated with movement. I practiced sport ever since I could remember. My body was fit and healthy, but there was something missing. Only when I discovered yoga I found it complete, as it works not only on my body, but also on the mind and spirit.
Since December 2019 I am a certified yoga teacher (RYT 200 accredited by Yoga Alliance), specialized in Vinyasa Flow. I did my course in Ubud, Bali – considered to be a healing center of yoga. I am also certified with Yin Yoga (50hrs Yin Yoga Essentials). To be more empathetic and skillful teacher I also accomplished various trainings about anatomy, alignment and meditation.
I am also doing Macramé and it's my way of meditating. The moment my fingers slide on the threads and create knots I move to the inner self. I feel so empowered while creating new things – from wall macramé to the clothing. I can do anything, just bring your vision or need and I will embody it in the knots.
Macramé
Macramé is an art of creating different types of textiles by using many types of knots. This technique has its roots in the 13th century Arabic culture and it was brought to south of Spain with Moorish from where it was gradually spread within the Europe.
The Spanish word macramé is derived from the Arabic “migramah”, believed to mean “embroidered veil” “ornamental fringe” or “striped towel”. Through centuries sailors used this technique during their “off hours” on the sea, creating things that later on they could sell or exchange in wherever they would land. Macramé was getting popular and then forgotten many times. This time it is living its renaissance again with the fashion for Boho style, inspired by the lifestyle of free spirits and hippies of the 1960s and 1970s.
I tangle my knots ever since I was a teenager. I started with bracelets, then moved to the bigger pieces like wall hangings or even clothing.
Feel free to reach out for any macramé ideas. It is perfect deco item or very original idea for gift for birthday, baby shower, Christmas or any other occasion! Sky is the limit with all the macramé creativity.

Vinyasa Yoga
Vinyasa yoga is a sub-type of Hatha yoga. Vinyasa means "doing things in certain order" and it perfectly describes this kind of the practice.It is a quite dynamic style blending together movement (different poses - asanas) with the breath (pranayama).We are changing here the poses quite fast, holding them up to 5 breaths, which makes the practice "flowy".My classes are meant for beginners (no experience in yoga is required, as there is always clear guidance, so that everybody can follow), however there are some intermediate options given for more advanced studentsYou can definitely sweat here, but in the same time, it is not a cardio workout (even if it could be in more advanced classes).In Vinyasa we work both, on strength and stretching of the body.You can relax here during the physical effort.There are some meditative elements, but not much (beginning and end of the class).
Yin Yoga
Yin Yoga is based on the Chinese philosophy and medicine (TCM).It is very static - we keep the poses here for 3-5 minutes and because of that, we work on the deep muscles and tissues.It works more or less like an auto acupressure, where we compress or stretch different areas of the body depending on the theme of the class.Most of the poses are either sitting or supine.It is meant for all the levels as for each pose many variations are providedYou will not sweat here, but believe me, it is not easier because of thatIt is much more about self-awareness and meditation, going inwards and checking in with our bodies. You can really learn a lot about yourself, not only on the physical level...Yin yoga it’s a very good way to counterbalance hectic and stressful life.
Yang to Yin
It's based on the TCM's assumption that a vital force of life, called Qi, flows through the body. Any imbalance to Qi can cause disease and illness. Any imbalance is commonly thought to be caused by an alteration in the opposite and complementary forces that make up the Qi. These are called yin and yang.Yang quality is external, dynamic and warming, Yin instead, is more inward, slow-paced and cooling. When these terms are applied in yoga, Yang Yoga is an active practice, whereas Yin Yoga is a slower practice where poses are passively held for longer.Having those two qualities within one practice we work towards balancing the Yin and Yang within us.It's a perfect combination of dynamic sequence at the beginning of the class and slow paced practice in the end.

Join Sophie & Kasia for an Ayurvedic Yoga retreat in a luxurious isolated camping in the heart of nature in Montenegro.
Yoga is essentially a spiritual discipline based on an extremely subtle science, which focuses on bringing harmony between mind, body, spirit and environment. Ayurveda, which can be translated as a "knowledge of life", being sister-science to Yoga, emphasizes good health, prevention and treatment of illness through lifestyle practices (such as massage, meditation, yoga, and dietary changes) and the use of herbal remedies.
Being complementary, both systems have been used together for thousands of years, but this tradition has been lost once Yoga was brought outside of India. The secret of healing however, can only happen, when Yoga and Ayurveda go together - one without the other is incomplete.
During the retreat you will reconnect with your true nature and:
Discover what is your predominant doshaLearn what is your birth ayurvedic constitution and how it differs from the current oneLearn how to use "5 elements" to live balanced and healthy lifeGet the lifestyle recommendations and routines that will preserve your physical and mental healthRealize imbalances in your body and mind and learn how to counterbalance themLearn how to adjust your yoga practice accordingly to your doshaTaste delicious food that serves you (depending on your dosha) in the best wayRelax and reconnect with the nature in the mountain forest

It will help you to focus and make the practice more meaningful. You can also dedicate your practice to somebody, sending good vibrations towards them.Practice ‘saucha’, which means “cleanliness” or “purity”. Arrive clean and free of scents that might distract or offend others. Do bring a towel or your own mat if you sweat a lot.Respect the Space. Practicing yoga in a group setting creates a sacred, safe zone. Observe silence before, during, and after practice. Allow room for other students to come in.
