shadow yoga classes
These classes introduce the beginner and experienced practitioner to the basics of Shadow Yoga. They are a blend of a series of physical preparation activities and basic information for understanding yoga practice (such as marma points, nadis, moon cycles). These establish and strengthen the basic circulation of energy and have a beneficial effect on the mind and body.
I warmly recommend people to attempt and build their own (ideally daily) practice of yoga, even if they start with 20 minutes a day twice a week. This classes offer good foundation for this purpose, but you are of course always welcome regardless of wether or not you have a personal practic routine.
These classes are suitable for pregnant women in the first 4-5 months of pregnancy (with given adaptations). Pregnant practitioners are also welcome to one of Joga for women - adaptation of practice in time of pregnacny.

practice guidelines
In most class spaces there are currently NO yoga requisits, so it is advisable to bring your own mat.
Comfortable clothes and bare feet.
Ideally there should be 3-4hrs between the beginning of the class and the last large meal, a small 'snack' up to 2hrs before practice is ok.
Do not drink anything during the practice (also not water) as fluid affects the occurring physiological processes.
For women in thier menstrual cycle: if you are not familiar with the adaptation of the practice in the time of menstruation, please let me know.
And last but not least - in Sundernath's words: Sometimes something brings you to a place of learning. Come with an open mind, even if you don't know exactly what you came for.
ADDITIONAL FOR ONLINE
In principle, I want to see people also if I teach via Zoom, so I suggest positioning the laptop/mobile phone camera in relation to the room or your body (see below). The camera can be on the floor or ideally up to waist height. It's good to be able to see more of your body, ideally your whole body (standing and lying down). Light: if possible, the light source or window should not be behind you (ideally in front of you, at the side also ok).
If women are in the first days of menstrual cycle and are not familiar with adaptations, skip the online class.
A yoga mat is not necessary, if you don't have one - you can work on the floor or carpet. A blanket nearby is recommended so that you can lie on it or cover yourself with it if necessary.
