Style
Our version of yoga is not defined by a set sequence (as in the Ashtanga tradition), special equipment (like in Aerial Yoga) or a specific room temperature (Hot Yoga 🥵). Instead, our version of yoga is based on 7 core principles.
1
Movement × Wisdom = Yoga
Up until the 20th century yoga was purely spiritual. The royal path towards enlightenment. Today, yoga is predominantly physical. The royal path towards a great butt. Movement Wisdom Yoga is both. Because the magic of yoga happens where the physical meets the spiritual.
2
Every Body Is Unique
Humans are not just different on the outside, but also on the inside. That’s why the typical "one-size-fits-all" cues don't work. Movement Wisdom Yoga embraces human uniqueness. We empower students by pointing out differences, introducing modifications, offering specific advice, and giving alternatives for every body.
3
But Every Thing Is One
Each of us is unique. But at the same time we're all one. Part of the same universal energy. And more connected than we think. Movement Wisdom Yoga allows students to experience the Oneness of all things. We opens eyes, change minds, and touch hearts.
4
Our Yoga Is Not Religious
The history of yoga is intertwined with the development of Eastern religions. But yogic ideas and practices are not religious. That's why Movement Wisdom Yoga does not require students to believe anything. Our yoga is simply an invitation to try out new things and see what happens.
5
Half in, Half Out
As humans we are half material, half spirit. Half earthly, half cosmic. Half animals, half angels. Half chained, half free. Half real, half illusion. Half knowing, half wondering. Half here, half there. Half in, half out. That's why Movement Wisdom Yogis walk the Middle Path.
6
Safety First & Fun Too
Student safety is our highest priority. But safety alone is not enough. It’s only the foundation of a great experience. That’s why fun, lightheartedness, magic, and mystery are also top priorities for Movement Wisdom Yoga.

Share the Magic
Yoga helps us turn blah into bliss, anger into love, desires into contentment, weakness into strength, conflict into peace, fear into trust, pain into health, and so much more. As Movement Wisdom Yoga teachers, it is our responsibility to share the transformational power of yoga with everyone who is willing to try.
