MOVE & MEDITATE

SØNDAG 12.01. 12.30-14.00

A great passion in my life is to make people move. By exploring breath, body, mind and speech we practice on the ancient ethical codes of Yamas and Niyamas. The very great promise of what yoga derives from. Self discipline, thoughts, feelings and emotions shapes our reality. Our perception can therefore shut us down or open up our hearts to face the challenges. Your yoga practice never lies but will always shed light upon those places that are the most difficult to visit for us. This practice therefore becomes an invitation to discover more potential within us. And rather to avoid or distract from what comes up to the surface. We practice on merging into the emotional experience of what Yoga is that is showing us exactly what we need in life to be able to let go and surrender.

ECSTATIC DANCE (included in all tickets)

LØRDAG 11.01. 18.00-20.00

Zenpsy invites us for a captivating presence in the electronic world on Saturday evening, known for her unique ability to blend diverse sonic elements that traverse through lush jungles, ethno-progressive landscapes, deep house grooves, and the high-energy world of psytrance. Her sets are crafted like journeys, each track intentionally chosen to create an atmosphere that is both grounding and transformative. With her love for yoga, Zenpsy brings a mindful energy to her music set, focusing on creating a connection between the audience and the rhythm.

The core of Zenpsy's style lies in her deep appreciation for thick, growling basslines that resonate with primal energy. Her soundscape often blends organic textures and tribal elements, infused with haunting melodies and progressive rhythms that transport listeners to faraway worlds. This style captures the spirit of nature and the mystical, guiding the audience through an exploration of sound that feels both ancient and cutting-edge.

BIO

El Ri discovered the full nature of yoga in 2009. More than just a place to exercise, her mat became a sanctuary where she was able to reflect, focus and tune out. Over time and through regular practice, her desire to deepen her understanding of yoga led to Yoga Teacher Training with Laurel Hodory & Faculty in 2014 in Trondheim. She received her first certification to teach Hatha and Ashtanga yoga. In February 2020, she received her second certification through ZYL, RYT 300. For El Ri, her practice and teaching has been a powerful learning experience that has shaped her into an authentic yogi as a teacher, a student, and in every aspect of her life. She is excited to continue her journey, follow her dream and to share it with others.

With a deep meditative space of Karuna (compassion) Maitri (loving kindness) and Satya (truthfulnness) she blends a contemporary anatomic description in her language of emotional intelligence that connects our past and present into this very moment!
