Ashtanga Yoga Weekend
With Lotta Sebzda. A weekend at Nøsen with Mysore-style mornings and afternoon workshops on Ashtanga Yoga, arm balances, handstands, technique, stretches and deep relaxation.
For the fifth spring - or very early summer - in a row, we’d love to invite you to join us for a weekend at beautiful Nøsen. Expect Mysore-style mornings and inspiring afternoon workshops. Together we’ll practica Ashtanga Yoga, explore arm balances and handstands, and take time for technique, good streches, and deep relaxation.
All levels are warmly welcome!
Lotta’s ‘ashtanga-yin’
We will take familiar postures from the ashtanga sequences and use them in a more passive, softer way with slightly longer holds to help to relax and open the body.
Workshop Backbends
We will begin to explore your natural potential for backbends with safety, support and fun!
Core and shoulder strength and stretch
Just Handstands
Short warmup for shoulders, wrists with some awakening of the core, followed by pure handstand practice.

Ever since Lotta was a child, she was mostly upside down, doing handstands, cartwheel or other gymnastic.
When she found AshtangaYoga in the late 90s it was like coming home, she says - she was immediately drawn to the practice.
Since that day it’s a big part of her life - with dedication, love, curiosity, energy and gratefulness, she follows the traditional Mysore style. It was taught by late Sri K. Pattabhi Jois and now his grandson, R. Sharath Jois.
Handstand practice became a big part of her life in 2015 - it has helped Lotta a lot - The strength from the handstands makes the ashtanga practice stronger, and gives so much joy to life generally.
