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
The Practice of Returning
A long-time container for your Ashtanga yoga practice, organised in seasonal cycles.
Workshops & Retreats
Annual and monthly events to practise, explore and go a little deeper — together.
Hi, I'm Heidi
I studied fine arts before Ashtanga yoga took my life in a rather different direction.
The practice took me to India, into teaching, and eventually back to Finland. I've spent many years studying and teaching Ashtanga, and it's still a practice I'm learning from.
These days, I also make 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.
