What will happen
We start by opening our brain, breath & body with a juicy Shake The Dust session hosted by the two Sagayoga Shake teachers Sara-Sofia & Chiara. Because sometimes you need to let it move you before you can land with it, right? Once the energies are flowing, Sara-Sofia will guide us into a Kirtan (Mantra singing) and connect us with the power of our own voices. No need for previous experience of mantras. You’re welcome to simply listen and receive or sing along. We end the evening with a pampering sound bath from Chiara. Lay down, make it extra cozy with all the props you could ask for and listen to the soothing sounds. Return home reconnected with yourself.
Shake The Dust: Somatic movement that focuses on your internal experience of the movement combined with high intensity cardio, body weight training, pilates, and a dance party how you would normally celebrate it in your kitchen. Come as you are and find some releasing movements that strengthen the body. Shake your dust & connect to what is waiting underneath. See a little snippet of Shake The Dust here > (Chiara) and here > (Sara-Sofia)
Kirtan (mantra singing): Chanting mantras is a powerful way to connect to the power of our own voice and to cultivate connection within ourselves, each other and the universe. Mantras can be seen as spiritual sound codes or phrases which are repeated to transform our awareness, uplift the mind, open the heart and bring inner peace. No need for previous experience of mantras and you’re welcome to join as you are. Listen and receive or sing and chant along! Read more about kirtan here>
Sound Bath: A Sound Bath is a deeply-immersive, full-body listening experience that intentionally uses sound to nurture your mind and body. Lay down, listen & Relax. Chiara’s set of instruments currently consists of 7 crystal bowls, 3 ching bowls, 3 Peter Hess bowls, 1 crystal chime, 5 wind chimes for the 5 elements, 1 Kenari seed chime, 1 rain maker, and 1 tongue drum. All the yoga props needed to make yourself as comfortable as possible will be provided. Read more about what a sound bath is here >

About the hostesses: Sara-Sofia is a curious movement explorer with a dancing background. Her way of guiding yoga and movement is embodied and she focuses on the felt-sense of the body and the freedom of expression. Key elements at her classes are joy, freedom, music, sensing and feeling. She teaches flow and yin yoga, somatic movement and holds space for kirtans and circles.
Chiara is a certified yoga teacher who has been holding space at Sagayoga since 2021 after she moved from Frankfurt to Helsinki in 2020. The five elements of Chinese Medicine, tantric philosophy, somatic movement, and inclusive anatomy were big parts of her training. She is in awe with finding balance between structure & freedom with movement & sounds. Chiara’s classes are welcoming, with a sprinkle of magic, and give space for your unique way of moving.
