Courage in Words

Yoga is an incredible tool for self-transformation, empowerment, and igniting your inner courage. While there are many styles of yoga, Rasa yoga stands out for its heart-centred approach that blends spirituality, alignment principles, core strength, and feminine Shakti energy.

Developed by the internationally renowned Sianna Sherman, Rasa yoga draws from various Hatha yoga traditions to offer a well-rounded and holistic practice. Hrönn is one of ten international Rasa yoga lead teacher trainers and she is passionate about sharing the gifts of this practice and guiding students on their journey of self-discovery.
 
The Heart of Rasa Yoga and what makes it unique?

Rasa means "essence" or "juice" in Sanskrit - it captures this practice's fluid, soulful, and nourishing quality. Rasa yoga beautifully blends:

• Spiritual and philosophical teachings from Classical Tantra, viewing the human body as an expression of the Highest energy
• Biomechanical alignment principles personalized to each student
• Mudra - energy seals for cultivating and nursing the energy body
• Mantra - sacred sound and chanting as medicine for the mind
• Meditation - as a process and state of consciousness
• Asana - the sacred physical postures woven through from and flow
• Pranayama - the dance with prana shakti through breath work

 
Beyond the physical asana, the Rasa yoga sequences and themes offer deep spiritual heart-opening. Each class explores a specific pathway to help you unlock your inner wisdom, purpose, and courage.
 
Rasa yoga creates a sacred and brave space for students to connect with their true essence and inner freedom. Practice brings a profound sense of empowerment.

​Whether new to yoga or an experienced practitioner, committing to a regular Rasa yoga practice can profoundly transform your body and mind. The sanskrit word “Rasa" derives its name from the ancient Indian concept of the nine fundamental emotions that make up human experience. Rasa means “juice, taste or the essence of emotion”.
Rasa Yoga Brønshøj seamlessly blends physical postures, breathing techniques, biomechanical alignment cues, mudras (hand gestures), mantras (sacred song), meditation and tantrik philosophy to teach students skilfully navigate and embody each of these nine emotional tastes of life.  
 
A consistent yoga practice yields benefits beyond fitness or flexibility. Our 8-week Class series are a great option for regular attendance in our studio and our different Rasa yoga class series can recalibrate your nervous system, enhance mental clarity, build physical strength, and cultivate emotional resilience. Our diverse community of yogis understands that progress requires patience and perseverance. However, the rewards of regular practice are immense.
 
The Mind-Body Connection
 
Rasa Yoga Brønshøj recognizes that the health of the mind and body are intimately connected. The physical postures open, strengthen, and purify the body, while controlled breathing calms the nervous system. The meditative aspects teach you to observe your thought patterns without judgment, heightening self-awareness and equanimity.
 
Our Rasa Yoga classes expertly interweave pranayama, asana, mudra, mantra, meditation, tantrik philosophy and mythology to help you attain a state of profound inner authenticity. From this centred, contemplative state of being, you gain insight into the nature of your mind. As your self-understanding ripens, your relationships naturally improve since how you perceive the world depends on your internal landscape.
 
Stress and Anxiety Relief

In our fast-paced world full of social media and non-stop responsibilities, anxiety and stress have become regrettably commonplace. Rasa yoga Brønshøj meets you where you are, helping ease mental turbulence through gentle postures, somatic breathing exercises, and mindfulness techniques.
 
A recent study published in the International Journal of Yoga Therapy showed that just eight weeks of yoga significantly reduced stress and anxiety. Our 90 and 75-minute Rasa yoga class series Brønshøj allow you to unplug from digital devices and quiet your busy mind. The extended time frame permits deeper immersion in meditative awareness and long-held poses to unlock stored tension.
 
Heightened Focus and Concentration
 
The bombardment of texts, emails, social notifications, and advertising eats away attention spans and diminishes focus. Studies confirm that eight seconds of distraction can cost over 20 minutes of lost productivity. The single-pointed concentration cultivated in a Rasa yoga practice strengthens your ability to focus.
 
As you link breath with movement in our classes, you train your mind to remain positively anchored in the present moment. When you catch your attention wandering, practice gently bringing it back to your body and breathing. This "re-minding" builds your concentration muscle so you can apply laser-like attentiveness to important tasks.
 
Self-Awareness and Self-Acceptance
 
Judgmental thoughts about your body or critical self-talk can erode self-confidence and provoke unhealthy behaviours. Rasa yoga helps override these destructive mental patterns with radical self-acceptance and compassion.
 
Our expert teachers guides you to remain conscious but detached from negative commentary about your shortcomings. Over time, the mental space opened up by regular practice allows genuine self-knowledge and deep self-care to arise. You recognize your innate wholeness just as you are, beyond striving or grasping.
 
Community Support and Inspiration
 
Practicing yoga with inspiration from fellow yogis can powerfully reinforce your commitment while exposing you to new perspectives. Our studio attracts passionate Rasa yoga students of all ages and backgrounds united by the common quest for greater well-being and self-realization.
 
Veteran students often enjoy befriending and gently encouraging newcomers still learning foundational postures. Our inclusive sangha (community) permits students at all skill levels to honour their bodies just as they are. Surrounded by the positive mirroring of those on their own path, students feel uplifted and motivated to keep showing up for practice.
 
The Key Is Consistency
 
Cultivating patience is essential in yoga, where progress happens slowly over time through small daily actions. Yoga speaks to the interior process of opening stiff or rigid areas gradually through consistent self-care. Just one class per week may not be enough stimulus to increase flexibility, cultivate mindfulness, or see major changes in your emotional patterns or thinking.
 
Ideally, attend a 75- or 90-minute Rasa yoga class at least twice weekly to experience this practice's incredible benefits. Your first class will likely reveal areas for growth – tight hamstrings, monkey mind, or shortness of breath. But do not get discouraged! Every yogi must humbly begin right where they are. Over months and years of steady practice, you will unlock your body's hidden potential and realize your natural state of peace.
