Maya Lindqvist

Founder · vinyasa and Sunday practice

Jonah Park

Mat pilates and strength

Jonah was a physiotherapist for nine years before he started teaching. His classes are built around the back most people actually have, not the one in the anatomy book, and he is the one to write to if you are working around an injury.

  • Former physiotherapist
  • Mat pilates since 2015

“If it hurts, we change the exercise. We never change your back to fit it.”

Inès Duval

Yin, breathwork and sleep

  • Yin and restorative
  • Teaching since 2016

“The evening class is for putting the day down. You are allowed to fall asleep.”

Take a class with each of them

The free week is long enough for a Morning flow, a Pilates core and an evening of Yin and breath. Questions first? Write to us and one of the three will answer, usually within a day.
