A yoga practice for real life.
Traditional Ashtanga yoga, with individual guidance and room to be human.
Online Mysore classes and in-person workshops in Finland with Heidi Ruokoniemi
You don't have to become someone else to practise yoga.
The practice meets you where you are — on the energetic days, the tired ones, and all the ordinary days in between.
It can be a place to pause, notice, breathe and see a little more clearly.
Three ways to practice
Mysore Classes
Seasonal Practice
Creating a space for your Ashtanga yoga practice in tune with the seasons.
Workshops & Retreats
Annual and monthly events to practise, explore and go a little deeper — together.
Hi, I'm Heidi
I didn't set out to become a yoga teacher.
At sixteen, I left school to study fine art. I spent seven years painting and studying visual art, and for a while I thought that was what I would do with my life.
Then I found Ashtanga yoga, and things took a rather different direction.
The practice took me to India, into teaching, and eventually back to Finland. These days I still do art and share my life with Laddu, my dog who was born in Mysore.
A lot has changed along the way, but the practice has stayed.
Practice, not perfection.
I believe a yoga practice can be strong without being harsh, disciplined without becoming rigid, and traditional without being disconnected from modern life.
The practice allows us to reconnect with ourselves through the body and the breath.
