Yoga & Hot Yoga in Vienna

Yoga in the Feelgoodstudio

In our yoga group class­es, the con­tent is adapt­ed to the needs of those present. In terms of con­tent and style, we pass on yoga as we have learned it from many teach­ers and through our own dai­ly prac­tice. We do not fol­low any exter­nal thought con­structs, but only our own expe­ri­ences. For us, there is only one yoga — one love! As we believe that yoga should be adapt­ed to the prac­ti­tion­er and not the prac­ti­tion­er to yoga, we avoid “pigeon­hol­ing”, which reg­u­lar­ly presents us with new “types of yoga”. This is why we large­ly refrain from clas­si­fy­ing and label­ing our yoga class­es. After all, your body and the demands you place on your yoga prac­tice are dif­fer­ent every day. 

Our teach­ers have many years of expe­ri­ence in adapt­ing the class­es to the stu­dents present and most class­es are there­fore“all lev­els class­es”. Nev­er­the­less, we also offer clas­sic Bikram hot class­es, Ash­tan­ga or Yin class­es and, of course, always new class­es for you — in addi­tion to yoga, we also offer Pilates, med­i­ta­tion class­es and more. 

Hot yoga in the Feelgoodstudio

Hot yoga is a spe­cial form of yoga that is prac­ticed in a heat­ed room. The idea behind hot yoga is that the increased room tem­per­a­ture helps to relax the mus­cles and improve flex­i­bil­i­ty, while at the same time stim­u­lat­ing sweat­ing to elim­i­nate tox­ins from the body. Typ­i­cal­ly, hot yoga is per­formed in rooms that are heat­ed to tem­per­a­tures of around 35 to 40 degrees Cel­sius. The humid­i­ty is also increased. One of the most well-known forms of hot yoga is’Bikram yoga’, which con­sists of a set sequence of 26 hatha yoga pos­es per­formed in a spe­cif­ic order. The prac­tice of hot yoga offers both phys­i­cal and men­tal ben­e­fits. The heat helps to stretch the mus­cles and pre­vent injuries, while the sweat­ing helps to detox­i­fy the body and improve cir­cu­la­tion. In addi­tion, hot yoga can be con­sid­ered an intense work­out that increas­es heart rate and burns calories. 

Lesson descriptions

Yoga has many forms, names and facets. This unit offers you an overview of the dif­fer­ent styles so that you can ulti­mate­ly find the right prac­tice for you. 

YOGA ESSENTIALS ALL LEVELS

Time for details and cor­rect align­ment? Yoga Essen­tials is based on the prac­tice of Iyen­gar and focus­es on pre­cise align­ment of the asanas with the help of aids such as blocks and bands. Due to the med­ical aspects of Iyen­gar and the gen­tle nature of the prac­tice, even injured and preg­nant peo­ple ben­e­fit from this class.

Deep ujjayi breath­ing sets the rhythm for your move­ments. The class is sweat-induc­ing and demand­ing. Long pos­ture holds and inver­sions are just as much a part of the dai­ly rou­tine as pranayama. 

ROCKET YOGA

Rock­et Yoga con­sists of asanas from the Ash­tan­ga series with a focus on flow­ing move­ments and breath­ing. It was devel­oped by Lar­ry Shultz in San Fran­cis­co, who want­ed to make Ash­tan­ga acces­si­ble to less expe­ri­enced prac­ti­tion­ers. The term “The Rock­et” was coined by Bob Weir from the band The Grate­ful Death, who were stu­dents of Lar­ry Shultz, because this method “gets you there faster”. There are 3 Rock­et series that allow for many vari­a­tions, so each class will be dif­fer­ent. David Kyle “Baba Rock­et” com­pares The Rock­et to a buf­fet from which every­one can take what they like in a par­tic­u­lar exer­cise setting. 

OPEN FLOW

Open Flow is a cre­ative and dynam­ic prac­tice. The ses­sion is suit­able for all lev­els and real­ly gets you going. You will work on the basics as well as cre­ative vari­a­tions.

YOGA NIDRÀ

Yoga Nidra gives you time to come back to your­self and rest, so that you can return to your every­day life deeply relaxed and recharged.

Yoga Nidra is a pow­er­ful med­i­ta­tive resource for deep relax­ation, heal­ing, insight and empow­er­ment. It is a state of con­scious­ness in which we are invit­ed to redis­cov­er the essen­tial truth of who we real­ly are. Yoga Nidra gives us the oppor­tu­ni­ty to expe­ri­ence a sense of inner freedom. 

We will start the ses­sion with gen­tle breath­ing and move­ment exer­cis­es and then prac­tise one or two yoga nidras. The nidras will be guid­ed, sim­i­lar to a guid­ed med­i­ta­tion. Depend­ing on your pref­er­ence, you will prac­tice either lying down or sit­ting. We use numer­ous aids (bol­sters, blan­kets, cush­ions) to bring the phys­i­cal body into total relaxation. 

You don’t need any pre­vi­ous expe­ri­ence, nei­ther in yoga nor in meditation.

Every moth­er can start prac­tic­ing from the first day of preg­nan­cy. The asanas are adapt­ed to the progress of the preg­nan­cy. A reg­u­lar yoga prac­tice pre­pares you ide­al­ly for the birth and ensures relax­ation. All our teach­ers are moth­ers them­selves and can there­fore answer exten­sive ques­tions from their own experience. 

RETIREMENT

Have you recent­ly become a moth­er and want to regain your body aware­ness? You can start regres­sion imme­di­ate­ly after the post­par­tum peri­od. How­ev­er, dis­cuss the start with your doc­tor or mid­wife as a pre­cau­tion. The course rebuilds the parts of the body that have been heav­i­ly stressed by the birth, such as the pelvic floor, the severe­ly stretched abdom­i­nal mus­cles and the back mus­cles. This ses­sion offers space to feel good, have fun, talk and ask questions.

This class is for all moms, whether you are con­tin­u­ing with preg­nan­cy yoga or just start­ing out.

(No, it’s not yoga and has noth­ing to do with it) A new and unique type of train­ing — very effec­tive and great fun. Super playlists moti­vate you to peak form. On the mat, the strain on your joints is reduced to a minimum. 

HAPPY HOUR HOT FLOW

To begin, we will con­nect with our bod­ies and our inner strength — breath­ing and sweat­ing through intense core sequences and vinyasa flows. The sec­ond part is ded­i­cat­ed to Yin sequences to calm the mind — focus­ing on recep­tiv­i­ty, relax­ation and let­ting go while improv­ing our flexibility. 

HOT 60 BIKRAM YOGA

The famous Bikram Yoga is hot and is prac­ticed at 38 degrees. We do 26 hatha yoga exer­cis­es (asanas) with 2 breath­ing exer­cis­es (pranaya­ma). Each posi­tion pre­pares you for the next or works through your whole body once, from the inside out, from top to bot­tom, into every cell.

To hold a spe­cial space, the class is for women/FLINTA only. Women, les­bians, inter, non-bina­ry, trans and agen­der peo­ple. Unlike the Bikram class­es, it will be a max­i­mum of 25 to 30 degrees in the hotroom.

A steady flow that cul­ti­vates body aware­ness at the end of the day.

A high­er lev­el of inten­si­ty may be offered at the begin­ning of the class to anchor the mind in the moment; the last third of the sequence winds down the ner­vous sys­tem and helps you pre­pare for a good night’s rest. Our yoga room is heat­ed, but not as hot as the Bikram classes.
