A very simple practice using the awareness of our body surface to create space on the inside. Refreshing, energising and relaxing, this class will get you going during the day or help you to release tension and become more restful in the evening. When we are stressed, feel down or hold an unhelpful posture all day, we lose our inner space - both physically and psychologically. Use this practice to remember the lively space inside of you.

Alison08.05.2016
Aki, thankyou. This was a beautiful class for me ...I have alot of stiffness in my thoracic spine and Your teaching style really resonates with me. I am always left wanting more whenever You 'pop up' on Ekhart. Here's hoping for many more classes with Aki.
Thankyou X
Aki15.06.2016
Thank you, Alison, for your comment. It encourages me to travel back to Ekhart studio again! Glad you are resonating with my approach.
Ulrike01.05.2016
This is like a holiday. The longer I do yoga the more I enjoy these slow mindful gentle classes. Thank you Aki, you are a great teacher.
Aki15.06.2016
Ulrike! How's your holiday going? Thank you for your feedback. Yes, me too. My practice got slower - but it also requires strength to move slowly. That's a joy tho.
Maria13.01.2017
Such a beautiful class! I felt like I was reading beautiful Japanese poetry! Thank you so much, Aki!
Kristin30.04.2016

Thanks Kristin. Hope it's helping you relax and remain spacious.
Jess11.10.2016
Thank you Aki,
I am learning a lot from the way you describe keeping our backs open as we practice. This is also helping me with everyday posture.
Thank you!
Jessica
John07.10.2016
Nice class to start the morning off, kind of ...... Dreamy is the word for it I guess!
Anthea06.05.2016
thank you Aki, lovely practise. (and very restorative for my back)

Vicki30.06.2016

Ilse13.01.2017

Ilse03.05.2016
Lovely evening practice to relax before bed. Thank you.
Aki15.06.2016
You are welcome, Ilse. :)
Katrina30.05.2016
This is just what I needed to balance out gym weights classes. This concept of creating space all over the body throughout each movement was very effective. More effective than some instructions which feel more mechanical. I especially loved your intelligent and gentle preparation for Ustrasana! (Ha! My autocorrect kept changing that word to Australians LOL). More please
Aki15.06.2016
Hehe. How's your Australians doing? ;-)
That's so nice to hear what you say. I would also invite you to bring this during the gym workout. You might find... you have more strength that way sometimes. Please let me know how it goes.
Jillian18.06.2016
I loved this class. You're direction and visual cues are the best! Thank you!
Aki18.06.2016
Thank you Jillian for such positive feedback. :-) Glad you enjoyed it. :-)
Emily02.05.2016
great class!
Aki15.06.2016
Cheers, Emily!
Isabelle01.05.2016
Thank you Aki. I love your teaching: your approach to asanas is very unique and enlightening. It is like you reinvent the poses and communicate it to us. It is brilliant.
Aki15.06.2016
Thank you Isabelle, for such nice comment. I feel encouraged to continue being creative in my own unique way. I mean, that'd be the only way to go. But always nice to feel encouraged.
Yulia01.05.2016
Thank you, Aki, for this wonderful and gentle session!
Aki15.06.2016
Thanks Yulia. :)
I13.01.2017

This was a blessing for my spine. Thanks a million <3
Elizabeth28.10.2018
After having some pain in my shoulders and upper back I have found it very uncomfortable to do sun salutations. This class has been perfect for being very mindful about all the muscles in those areas. It made sun salutations feel possible again! Thank you so much Aki.
Ashley11.10.2018
A wonderful exploration of the available space in the body. I’m breathing much fuller now! Thank you for this practice.
