π€ December at Sawston Yoga β Hygge Yoga π€
This December, our classes are inspired by Hygge β the Danish art of comfort, warmth, and slowing down. Hygge Yoga is all about soft blankets, gentle movement, dimmed lights, calming breathwork, and a feeling of being heldβ¦ in body, mind, and space.
To help you bring this beautiful practice off the mat and into daily life, here are the 10 principles of Hygge (from βThe Little Book of Hyggeβ by Meik Wiking) β and how they show up in Hygge Yoga:
π― Atmosphere β Turn down the lights.
Soft candlelight, warm tones, and cozy spaces set the mood for rest and reflection.
πΏ Presence β Be here now.
We slow down, arrive in our breath, and let the outside world wait.
π« Pleasure β Treat yourself.
Your practice becomes a gift β nourishing, gentle, and just for you.
π€ Equality β We over me.
We move together, share energy, and respect every body and every pace.
π Gratitude β Take it in.
Notice the warmth of your mat, your breath, your body supporting you.
β―οΈ Harmony β Itβs not a competition.
Hygge Yoga is about feeling, not performing. We soften, release, allow.
π§£ Comfort β Get comfy.
Blankets, socks, cushions β sink in, unwind, feel safe.
π«Ά Truce β No drama.
No pressure, no pushing β just peace.
π₯ Togetherness β Build connection.
Community, shared stillness, feeling part of something nurturing.
π‘ Shelter β Create a sanctuary.
Your mat becomes a nest. Your breath becomes home.
