Hej!

For all that like combining yoga with some other activities, now you can join the running club at CIS, every Wednesday at 17.30. Enjoy!

Hello Yogis,

This post is regarding guided yoga sessions on Sundays.

I'm Siddharth Kasaraneni, you can call me Siddharth or Sid 🙂
I'll be your host for the yoga sessions on sundays.

Before coming to Sweden I've been learning and practicing various forms yoga in India but I never had focus. After coming to sweden around 5 years ago, I've got the time and freedom to do whatever I want. I've started trying out many activities including yoga. Then I found a yoga community in gothenburg Yoga Jammers, Gothenburg , where yoga sessions are offered for free in a community Church!

The theme of this yoga community is that everyone is welcome to practice or guide and also that every session is different. After going for a few sessions, I was asking myself, "why not try guiding a yoga session myself?" 😀. So,I tried it for the first time and I actually liked doing it. This was around two years from now.

Inspired from the community, the idea is to offer different styles of yoga, invite yoga teachers from the Yoga jammers community and also to let any of you who's interested guide a yoga session

What do you think about this new idea, feel free to share your thoughts 🙂

We are very happy to inform that we can start now with the CIS-yoga classes. This semester we are two instructors, Siddharth Kasaraneni and Adriana Ito.

Sid will offer a flow that is inspired from different styles of yoga, on Sundays at 10.00-11.30 (Scaniasalen, starting the 3rd Oct ), for a group of up to 20. The focus will be on the balance of strength and mindfulness. This class will comprise of meditation, breathing techniques, yoga poses that allows us to accept our body and mind in order to expand and let ourselves go outside the comfort zone. Priority will be given for those of you who are regular. The remaining available spots will be offered on a first come first serve basis.

Adriana will offer Ashtanga Mysore classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 17.00 (Scaniasalen), in a semi-private format, for a group of 5 people. Ashtanga is an energetic type of yoga that focuses on synchronizing the movement and the breath. Preference will be given for students that can commit for the whole period (all Tuesdays and Thursdays from the 05th Oct to the 18th of Nov). If we have more people interested than available spots, preference will also be given to those that have been practicing yoga (any type) for a longer time.

ALL CLASSES CANCELED UNTIL AT LEAST 19/11.

Due to increased restrictions, all sports must be canceled until at least 19/11, so unfortunately I have to cancel all classes until then. I'll come with more information when I receive it myself. Stay safe!

The class after the exams (04/11) is now fully booked (next week there will be no class), comment below for reserve list.

Next week there will be no class due to exams week. I’ll release the sign up link for LP1 class tomorrow at 12.00 (since I have my exam until 12.30 next Thursday). Good luck on all your exams and I’ll see you after!

Spots for next weeks class is full, comment below for reserves list!

One mat was forgotten in the class today. Write a message here and confirm the color! I’ll bring it to the next class.

Due to some technical barriers, I'll have to do the livestreaming via zoom. If you are doing the class online, please be there 17.15 and I'll do a briefing for the online-participants before starting the class (you will need some props such as block, strap, blanket that you need to gather).

WE ARE GOING LIVE! Unfortunately, due to the corona situation and my limited amount of time, there are a lot more people who want to join the yoga classes than I can squeeze into a class. Therefore, I will (starting this Wednesday) try out livestreaming the classes. They start 17.20 and I'll post instructions here on the page before it starts. As I have never done this before, I ask for your understanding if there will be any technical issues (especially on this first trial on Wednesday). I hope this will enable more people joining - see you all on Wednesday!

The class for next week 30/09 is full, comment below for reserve list.

The class for next Wednesday 23-09-2020 is full, comment below for waiting list.

FYI:
Scaniahallen is located in Kårhuset (student union building close to Chalmers bus stop). You enter the building, head straight in until you get to the stairs. Go up the stairs, turn left and then it's there! I'll keep the door open.

The class starts 17.20. Can't wait to see you there!

Sign up for the class next Wednesday are full (it becomes fully very quick after it’s released 12.00 each Thursday!). Comment below for reserve list if there are cancelations.

FYI for new people in the group: if you are able to sign up on the link, you have a spot for the class. The link freezes for new sign ups automatically when the class is fully booked.

SOON WE ARE BACK IN POSITION!
I am happy to announce that the yoga classes will start up again, but in a corona-adjusted way. The regular Vinyasa Flow classes for LP1 will be 17.20-18.30 on Wednesdays, starting from study week 3 (16-09-2020 will be the first).

The link for the following class will be released here on the page 12.00 on Thursdays (sign-up link for the first class will be 10/09). Last semester the spots filled up very quickly, so it's both important to stay updated here and contact me if you get any hindrance and cannot claim your spot as there are waiting lists.

Corona adjustments:
- Fewer students per class to ensure social distancing
- Encouragement to bring your own mat and change clothes/shower at home
- No physical assists from my side (unfortunately no savasana assists either which I know is highly appreciated)
- Follow general Chalmers guidelines for the corona situation such as stay at home if any symptoms, respect social distancing, wash your hands prior and after the class etc.

I am looking forward to seeing you on the mat very soon!

Hello everyone!

I am currently looking into possibilities to start up the yoga classes again this study period in a corona safe way. Some things still needs to be figured out until they can start again and there will be some changes to the set up. I will keep you posted here on Facebook.

Hope to see you soon!

Hello everyone! I hope you are all safe and well. I figured I would throw out a spontaneous yoga class in trädgårdsföreningen today where we can all be corona-safe! The class will be in Swedish because it’s for me to practice instructing yoga in Swedish (never done it!). Bring your own mat (and a towel or similar for extra support in some postures) and we meet outside of Palmhuset at 16.00 today!

Quarantine times + yoga class time = no good fit..
Quarantine times + online yoga class time = good fit?

That question is for you to answer! I considering providing online-streamed yoga classes when physical ones are not possible, but only if there is a need for it. I know that there is already a lot of online yoga classes available, so it's hard to determine if it would be worthwhile to provide. Would you see any benefits of me providing some classes online, mainly live streaming? If Yes, like this!

Any ideas/thoughts? Comment!

I am sad to say that for now, I’ll have the cancel the yoga class until further notice. Hopefully, it will not be too long, but at least for next week I will cancel the class and await more information to take a more solid decision. I will keep you all posted on this page! Take care!

Hi everyone! I hope you are all doing well in both exam and corona times. As the demand for yoga seem to be higher than what one class a week is able to provide, we wanted to see if there are any yoga instructors in this group that would be interested in offering classes for the students of chalmers? If so, please contact us on this page!

Hello everybody! Since it's exam week next week, there will be no yoga class. The next class will be Wednesday 25/3 and the event and link will be released 19.00 one week before (18/3). New study period means new weekly time for yoga classes: Wednesdays at 17.20-18.30, Scaniahallen. I hope to see you there!

Two spots just opened up for the yoga class tomorrow morning at 08.20. If anyone wants to take those spots, comment this post below and I’ll give you a confirmation ☺️

Thank you all that showed up to the class this morning! 🙏🏼 I’m realising that we are facing a (luxury) problem by having the classes becoming fully booked more or less straight away (today one hour after I posted the event). To increase fairness I will from next Monday on release the event with the sign-up link at the same time every week (12.00 each Monday for LP3).
