Dynamic Mindfulness

Deut­sche Ver­si­on

In Dyna­mic Mindful­ness we work with the body as it is. It is a con­tem­po­ra­ry approach to yoga, roo­ted in Zen-Bud­dhist Phi­lo­so­phy and infor­med by move­ment sci­ence. It was foun­ded and crea­ted by Tat­ja­na Mesar in 2010 in Ber­lin.

In our clas­ses we sof­ten, wave, boun­ce, roll and move away from stri­ving for an ide­al form toward sens­ing how the move­ment feels from the insi­de. You will find ele­ments of other tra­di­tio­nal approa­ches (Hatha, Ash­tan­ga, Vin­ya­sa) to “body pos­tu­re” but not through linea­ri­ty and strict­ness. Ins­tead the­re is room for play, and self-paced explo­ra­ti­on of the body in all direc­tions. Through regu­lar prac­ti­ce you will learn to pay atten­ti­on to body and breath in move­ment as well as in still­ness, and gain both strength and mobi­li­ty.

In the Dyna­mic Mindful­ness com­mu­ni­ty ever­y­bo­dy is wel­co­me and nobo­dy is being jud­ged. We tre­at ever­yo­ne with love and respect. All body shapes, all sexu­al ori­en­ta­ti­ons and all abili­ties are wel­co­me! Come as you are, learn about Dyna­mic Mindful­ness yoga and take the bene­fits of the prac­ti­ce into your ever­y­day life!

We focus more on the expe­ri­ence of the body, its inner land­scape, rather than on the looks.

We end with deep rela­xa­ti­on often in com­bi­na­ti­on with gui­ded medi­ta­ti­on.

Calm & Strong – Pregnan­cy Yoga with Katya
13:30 (60 min)

Pre­na­tal yoga is more than adap­ting poses to the pregnant body and has a lot of bene­fits for this peri­od. Mindful prac­ti­ce allows you to take time and con­nect with your baby and with your chan­ging body. Phy­si­cal­ly, it helps to crea­te more space for the breath, release ten­si­ons and back pains, and to gain strength and mobi­li­ty in the body. Regu­lar prac­ti­ce will help you to deve­lop inner strength and prepa­re your body and mind for the birth.

In this 60 minu­tes pre­na­tal yoga class we will move mindful­ly through flowing sequen­ces careful­ly desi­gned to deepen self-awa­re­ness and deve­lop strength, fle­xi­bi­li­ty, and balan­ce to sup­port your phy­si­cal and emo­tio­nal well-being during pregnan­cy. Each class ends with soot­hing rela­xa­ti­on and/or gui­ded medi­ta­ti­on.

This prac­ti­ce is safe and bene­fi­ci­al for all stages of pregnan­cy until birth. Howe­ver, I recom­mend coming to the group class after the first 8 weeks. If you want to join ear­lier, plea­se cont­act me befo­re the class.

Bring com­for­ta­ble clo­thes. The neces­sa­ry props will be available for use in the stu­dio. Feel free to bring your own, if you pre­fer. Plea­se arri­ve 10–15 minu­tes befo­re start­ing time so that we can start on time.

Tog­e­ther, we will explo­re a varie­ty of tran­si­ti­ons bet­ween poses and look for the balan­ce bet­ween effort and ease. This prac­ti­ce is bene­fi­ci­al for both your mind and joints, and it’s acces­si­ble for all body types, ages, and back­grounds. Through regu­lar clas­ses you will gain both strength and mobi­li­ty in the body.

Rijk

It was curio­si­ty that brought Rijk in cont­act with phy­si­cal yoga prac­ti­ce back in 2012. After years of exten­si­ve Vin­ya­sa and Ash­tan­ga prac­ti­ce in Ams­ter­dam he moved to Ber­lin whe­re he began to feel dis­con­nec­ted with the strict approa­ches to move­ment and the way tea­chings were chan­ne­led.

Curio­si­ty again led him to the Dyna­mic Mindful­ness school whe­re in 2021 he finis­hed the Foun­da­tio­nal Tea­cher Trai­ning with Tat­ja­na Mesar . In trai­ning he lear­ned that befri­en­ding the body, invi­ting ‘play’ in move­ment and sim­ply pay­ing atten­ti­on to ari­sing sen­sa­ti­ons within the body allow for a sus­tainable & joyful prac­ti­ce.

He con­ti­nues his edu­ca­ti­on with Tat­ja­na. When he is not tea­ching or prac­ti­cing you will find him stu­dy­ing the body in the realms of bio­me­cha­nics and ana­to­my, wal­king and occa­sio­nal­ly you will find him doing not­hing, just sit­ting. As a trai­ned com­po­ser for elec­tro­nic music, Rijk is intrigued by the sonic land­scape. As a move­ment and medi­ta­ti­on tea­cher he is intrigued by the body and its inner land­scape.
