Sunday Iyengar Yoga Workshops with Karl Strahlke
3-hour Sunday workshops bring posture practice and pranayama into a small studio group. Karl Strahlke welcomes both established Iyengar students and people curious about the method.
Why it caught our eye
A 3-hour format leaves time for both postures and pranayama. The group is limited to twelve, and the invitation extends beyond experienced Iyengar students to people discovering this approach.
What you can expect
Karl Strahlke leads these 3-hour Sunday workshops, with each date booked separately. The in-person practice takes place at Iyengar Yoga Lausanne, Rue du Maupas 6, 1004 Lausanne. The current themes explore hip health, knee health, and relaxation in relation to stress and tension. Part of each workshop is reserved for pranayama. Teaching is in French, with English and German translation possible according to the studio. Mats, straps, blocks, blankets and other practice supports are provided.
Good to know before you go
Each workshop costs CHF 60, payable on registration. Register by email at info@yoga-karl.ch; the group is limited to twelve, so a place needs confirmation from the organiser. The published terms state that payments are not refunded. The studio is on the first floor with a lift; this alone does not confirm wheelchair access. Arrive fifteen minutes early and wear clothes that allow free movement. Tell the teacher about relevant health conditions, pregnancy or recent surgery before practising. Dates and themes remain subject to changes. You choose individual workshops rather than committing to all three.
What this is
Karl Strahlke’s Sunday workshops offer a longer space for exploring Iyengar yoga than a regular class. Each workshop usually centres on a particular theme, with part of the morning reserved for pranayama. The current themes explore hip health, knee health, and relaxation in relation to stress and tension. The source also names yoga ethics, postures, breath practice, inward attention, concentration, kriyas and mantras among the subjects. These are studio workshops in Lausanne, separate from Karl’s residential retreats.
