about
momentum
momentum is the slogan or theme for this progressing yoga project.
With momentum yoga I want to share yoga, make it relatable, accessible and open windows for reflection and exchange.
The meaning of the word momentum is somewhat permeable and eludes an accurate definition. It leaves space.
Momentum comes in physics, mechanics and has to do with movement.
On a sociological level, it describes an actuality, a social movement perhaps, even a standstill in time or turning point.
A swim along in the constant change that is the essence of life. Confidence in what there is – at every given moment.
Feeling momentum: being present and attentive, open and curious. Skill in daily action requires awareness of the presence evolving from moment to moment. Doing the right thing in the right way.
about
ute löffelsend
I have been practicing yoga since 2004 and have been teaching since 2014.
I mainly teach yoga at Ashtanga Yoga Friedrichshain. The yoga school I co-founded with my colleague Dörte in 2016 where we teach a dynamic yoga: Ashtanga Yoga and Vinyasa Flow Yoga. Both are characterised by flowing transitions (Vinyasa) between the positions and breath awareness. Pranayama (breath observation and modification) and meditation are always part of our teachings.
My education lasted for over four years and included 800 hours in attendance and approx. 200 hours of self-learning time, numerous education samples, as well as a two-year hospice dance and assistance in Ashtanga Mysore courses to learn the practice of hands-on adjustments and assists – teaching with the hands.
In addition, I am a facilitator in yoga teaching trainings on the topics of asana, pranayama and yoga philosophy and history.
My personal yoga practice is rooted in Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga. I teach it in Mysore Style, I also teach Vinyasa Flow Yoga and slow and gentle yoga for people with special needs.
My main focus is to raise my two teenage kids as a single parent. Living with my children and the associated tasks, such as household management, secretary for the interests of three people etc., bundle the majority of my resources.
