Elemental Mandala Masterclass
Led by Malika
Just before the Autumn Equinox is happening, we will meet to dive into a deep and connected practice to honor the earth element. The autumn equinox is the start of the autumn season, which means we are moving into the element of earth. This element is all about grounding, finding stability and rooting down. The Masterclass will be focusing on the back-body. We will dive into forward folds, stretching out the hamstrings, and working deep into our back.
Join Malika for a 2 hour masterclass on her elemental mandala flows. The class will commence with a 20 minute breathwork practice, warming up our chest area with stretches to prepare for deeper breaths.
We will then move into the asana part of the practice. A combination of yin poses will open up our bodies to prepare for the stronger vinyasa flow that will follow. Mandala flows allow you to explore all four corners of the mat, which isn’t only fun, but also challenges your sense of direction and balance. This part of the practice will be roughly 75-80 minutes long.
We will finish up the practice with another yin sequence to stretch our body out before we dive into a delicious Shavasana, accompanied by live music, to rest and restore.

I started my yoga journey by watching my mum practicing the five Tibetan rites in the morning when I was a kid. Intrigued, I joined her and eventually started going to vinyasa classes at my local martial arts gym. Since then, I have traveled and moved countries multiple times. I studied a bachelors in Marine Biology and my Masters in Climate Change is what has brought me to Copenhagen. My love for nature and this planet is also what keeps urging me back onto the mat. The physical aspect of yoga and the deep practice of meditation makes me feel grounded and connected to the earth and nature and I hope to inspire similar feelings in my students.
