Ashtanga is often called the most difficult form of yoga – that makes as much sense as saying that tennis is harder than badminton. It all depends, of course, on where we start and what we bring with us.
On the contrary, Ashtanga yoga is a very accessible and constructive practice. We repeat more or less the same postures each time in a flow, where our body and breath move together and can enjoy the progress as it unfolds. We work with quality – not quantity – and over time, both body and mind begin to merge with the techniques and movements.
And yes, it IS an ambitious style of yoga. It challenges and develops our strength, flexibility, balance, endurance, patience, and concentration, but it doesn’t require us to be able to do anything in advance – only that we stick with it. By regularly and persistently challenging our physical and mental status quo, we work toward stability and ease in both body and mind.
A room is not just a defined number of cubic meters of enclosed air. A room can be a shared space we nurture together – a power bank we recharge with energy every time we step into it and live out our practice. A space is something we care for and cultivate.
Yoga is a practice that both demands and develops our concentration, and the space we inhabit greatly influences our focus. That’s why, at Funder Kaas Yoga, you’ll step into a beautiful room, dedicated and designed for one purpose: the practice of yoga.

If we were not limited, we wouldn’t need yoga. Beginners as well as highly experienced practitioners may have temporary or chronic injuries and ailments that limit them – and there is always room for and attention to these. Yoga is, among other things, about gently expanding boundaries by exploring and gradually nudging them – not by overstepping them.
Our body and mind require maintenance – that’s why we return to our yoga mat. It is recommended that both inner and outer cleanliness be part of our yoga practice, for the sake of our own growth and out of respect for those around us.
Please ensure that neither your body nor your clothing has strong odors, such as perfume, sweat, smoke, etc., when you attend yoga.
Yoga is both the journey and the destination. Our mental and physical starting points are incredibly diverse. You may have a sense of whether you’re on the right path and to what extent, but you cannot be "good" or "bad" at yoga!
Rushing to yoga is counterproductive. That’s why the classes have a "rolling" start, meaning the first 15 minutes or so are spent settling in, with room for light conversation, warm-ups, and so on.
If you arrive after the class has started, please just quietly slip in and find your spot at your own pace – better to arrive a little late than feeling rushed.
