Classes are 60–75 minutes unless noted. Pick by level:

• Beginner: yum basic elements (60 min). Basic poses, simple sequences and extra guidance.
• All levels: yum on earth (grounding and slow), yum at sea (a set sequence, the same every time) and yum retreat (30–90 min of breathing, meditation, yoga nidra and sound).
• Intermediate: yum in the sky, a slow flow with movement from hatha and vinyasa.
• Advanced: yum on fire, powerful and sweaty, with head- and handstands.

We also have aerial yoga, and SUP yoga on the water from May to September. Read the class descriptions, or which type of yoga should I choose?. Vinyasa is explained in what is Vinyasa yoga?.

3. Pay by VISA/Dankort or credit card in the online booking. Yoga can’t be paid with MobilePay or cash.
4. Cancel at least 4 hours before class, or there’s a DKK 75 fee, or you lose your clip.
