ESSENCE OF YOGA
90-minute deep immersion into traditional yoga
Amsterdam Vijzelgracht | Small group setting
Yoga, in its essence, is a journey inward toward stillness, clarity, and awareness.
The Essence of Yoga class is a 90-minute immersive experience rooted in the traditional yogic teachings plus an integration circle after the class. A practice beyond movement alone, where we gradually turn inward and reconnect with what yoga was originally meant to cultivate: a clear mind and inner stillness.
In this class, we move in silence. There is no music, no distraction only guided awareness, breath, and presence.
WHAT WE PRACTICE
Each session is a carefully woven practice including:
- Kundalini Kriyas (Practices/ Inner actions to purify the energy body)
- Pranayamas (Conscious breathwork)
- Meditation and traditional stillness practices
- Vedic mantras
- Deep rest through Yoga Nidra
TEA & INTEGRATION CIRCLE
After the physical practice, we take time to sit together over tea.
This is a space for reflection, questions, and sharing where we go deeper into the meaning behind the practices, their purpose, and how to integrate them into daily life. This part is optional but warmly encouraged.
A SERIES TO FOLLOW
You may join this practice as a single session, but it is designed as a series to deepen your practice over time. Each week builds gently upon the previous one, allowing space for real integration and experience.

MY STORY
My name is Rocinta, your guide on this journey. I followed my trainings in India. There I met my teacher, a true yogic master of the Himalayan tradition. I lived in India for several months, immersing myself in the traditional teachings of Vedic Yoga, and I now return regularly to continue my training and deepen my practice. To me, yoga is not just what happens on the mat - it’s how we carry its practical wisdom into daily life. While I am a teacher, I am also practitioner. I teach from what I’ve experienced and what continues to support me in living with more awareness, clarity, and connection.
