Morning Hatha in English

Longer-held postures are paired with pranayama and occasional reflections from classical yoga texts. This gives you time to explore both the physical practice and the ideas behind it.

A 60-minute, in-person class with a calm opening, longer-held asanas, breath awareness and pranayama. Meditation may also be included. The source identifies the class as English. This is not presented as a beginner class, so choose variations and rest whenever needed.

Choose any available session in the date selector; each has its own reviewed booking link. Yoga Nest Oerlikon is inside Kinexis at Wattstrasse 3. Mats, blocks, bolsters, belts and blankets are provided, and first-time visitors should arrive 5 to 10 minutes early. If you are pregnant, recovering from an injury or managing a condition affecting movement or breathwork, consider whether the practice is suitable, seek professional advice when needed and tell the teacher before class. A single class costs CHF 33; a conditional welcome pack offers three trial classes for CHF 75.

Begin with a quiet moment to arrive, then move into a traditional Hatha practice. Postures are held for longer, giving you time to notice their shape, the effort involved and how the breath responds. Depending on the sequence, the practice may feel grounding and steady or stronger and more fiery. Pranayama is part of the class, and some sessions also include meditation or a short reflection from traditional yoga texts.
