In this tutorial Marcel explains where the primary muscles for breathing are and how to use them. We practice two different exercises to learn how to feel and use the right muscles. It’s helpful to do this class a couple of times.

In this fairly strong practice we focus on strengthening the upper body, back and core muscles. We begin by working on the mobility of our wrist, shoulder, hip joints and spine and then move into a dynamic core-strength flow. Includes Forearm plank, Side plank, Salabhasana, Bow pose, and Wild Thing.

You'll need a tennis ball (or other similar pliable ball) and a block for this class. We'll use these to 'roll out' some specific areas and follow with our Yin stretches afterward to notice the effects of the rolling. 

A nice, short wake up class that will get you energised and ready to face the rest of your day.

This is a nice, short class to download on your phone via the app and practice on a flight. I suggest using an eye mask and noise cancelling headphones to fully 'withdraw'. For the rest, just follow my guidance and enjoy. This class could be great to try at your desk too!

A practice to stretch and move your body after travelling or sitting for a long time. You might like to have a block handy.

Even though this class is inspired by travelling it's equally appropriate to do before sitting at a desk for hours. We strengthen and mobilise the body and prepare it for sitting for a while.

In this short and sweet meditation we begin by focusing on the lover chakras to ground, then move our focus to the heart and feel whatever is going on there. We try to make a connection to the rest of humankind, connecting our hearts together.

In this class we combine Yin yoga poses with acupressure points, staying longer (about 5 minutes) in each pose while stimulating a specific point. All the points either stimulate or nourish our Qi and have a wonderfully calming effect on the mind.

This is a strong, all-round, yogic body workout which works both the upper and lower body. Expect a gentle start before we start to speed things up! You may like to have a yoga block handy for this class.

This class helps to balance our East-West orientation - perfect for when we travel in one of those directions, crossing timezones that affect our energy system. We practice poses will help to to reset our biological clock, eastwards and westwards. You might like to have a yoga block or meditation cushion handy for this class.

Nyasa means 'to place' and in this meditation we place our attention on the chakras, moving slowly through each chakra from the tip of the tail bone (the Muladhara or Root chakra) to the crown of the head. This is what I would call a 'classic' Chakra Nyasa meditation. Make sure you're warm and comfortable and be prepared to sit for about 30 minutes.

This is not a yoga class but a short, full body workout! You'll need some weights - a grocery bag filled with something (books, groceries or anything else) or you could use a kettlebell or dumbbell. We start by activating the core and move on to the upper body, legs and back. We finish the class with a short cool down.

In this Yin yoga class the wall is our friend and our main 'prop'. This is a great practice for when you have been sitting for a long time and want to completely relax your back but still work on other parts of your body. Please have 1 or 2 blankets ready for this practice.

This practice focuses on strengthening the back - more specifically the erector spinae muscles - and will work the core too. It is not a fast-paced class, however it could be intense for some. Overall, this is a great practice for anyone who has a history of back pain, or has experienced a back injury. It's also a useful practice for those who sit in front of a computer all day.

This Yin yoga works on the legs and torso. We alternate going backwards and going forwards - however the 'target area' changes per pose. I give a little more information in this class so if you prefer there to be more silence, you can always turn the volume down :-) For this practice, you'll need a block, and a bolster or some thick blankets.

In this peaceful, relaxing practice, we combine Qigong with Yin. We start standing for the Qigong exercises, to cultivate and move Qi within and around us. We then move to the floor for a powerful breath exercise, before practicing some Yin backbends and twists. This is a lovely, grounding session to do in the evening.

In this class we explore different variations of Dragon pose combined with Frog pose. We move from mild stretching into wild flowing, then into silent Yin poses. Enjoy the ride!

This is a Qigong-inspired class, based on the 'Golden Seed' sequence as designed by Suzee Grilley. We start with Qigong-inspired energising and breath movements, moving into the 'traditional' Golden Seed and the same sequence with a twist!

In this meditation we focus mainly on the Manipura chakra. When this chakra is closed or out of balance we can worry a lot about everything but specifically life and the future. When Manipura is open or in balance, contentment is the main feeling or state. Chakras can open and close due circumstances in our lives, so it's good to focus on all of them or perhaps a specific one when needed.

In the Chinese 5 elements' tradition we recognise an extra season: late summer or Indian summer, the period between Summer and Autumn. In this class we move from this Indian summer to Autumn, working on all 4 meridian corresponding to the seasons: Spleen and Stomach for Indian Summer and Lung and large intestine for Autumn. This is a yin-yoga oriented class which contains Qigong exercises and pranayama.You can also practice Marcel's other meridian classes: Spring meridian boostSummer meridian boost, andWinter meridian boost

Even though we may love them, long, hot days can be really tiring. This practice will cool your system - both body and mind - and help readjust your energy in a positive way. This class also contains some Qigong and pranayama. Try Marcel's other Meridian boost classes: Spring meridian boost Autumn meridian boost Winter meridian boost

This short class is based on the Flying Dragon series, designed by Paul and Suzee Grilley. We twist it up a bit by adding some fitness exercises - squats, push-ups and lunges. A fun little sequence that packs a punch.

Short and sweet, high intensity workout focusing on the front and back layer of the body. Brief but effective!

In this class we prepare for Spring, charging the Liver and Gallbladder meridians and their corresponding meridians, the Pericardium and San Jiao (Triple Heater). We start with a gentle palpation of the meridians to bring awareness into them. Then we add in some some slow Yang poses and top it all off with some Yin poses that target the specific meridians.You can also practice:Summer Meridian boostAutumn Meridian boostWinter Meridian boost

Starting with some breathing exercises (Nadi Shodhana) and gentle upper body movements before moving into some serious HIIT (high intensity training) movements including squats and burpees and ending with a couple of longer-held poses. A short, but well-balanced class.

In this class, which is typical of a practice I would do at home, I do some of my favourite movements. It's not too intense and not too slow, just the right pace for me personally. We move through all of the major muscle groups and do a few, nice back bending poses. I hope you enjoy this practice too!

This class is all about adding different kinds of movement to whatever it is we call 'yoga asana practice'. You can call it unconventional, gym exercises, movement... but we practice with the intention of strengthening the upper body. In the end we move a little into our more traditional yoga flow, even doing a partial handstand!

Surya Namsakara or Sun Salutation B is a very traditional movement cycle in all styles of yoga. In this tutorial you'll learn the different variations that you can add to your 'classic' Sun Salutation. We start easy on the floor, using the different poses to stretch different muscle groups. The variations that follow are then used to strengthen and twist specific body parts.

We just go with the flow, from easy core work to Sun salutations, some Tai Chi-like movements and a couple of balancing poses. We finish with some Yin yoga poses.

We start by warming up different parts of our body, then into some core exercises to build up the strength we need for our flow. We practice three rounds of animal-inspired movements on the right and left sides, adding in a pose in every round, and top this off with some calming Yin poses to balance things out.

In this Yin yoga class we will boost the Kidney, Bladder, Heart and Small Intestine meridians. Water is the element of winter, and Fire of summer. When you add a little water to fire you get steam, and you can imagine this class to be like a nice Finnish Sauna or Turkish steam bath, created from the meridians. When I talk about meridians in this class, it's not the meridians an acupuncturist would use but the broader 'sinew' channels - or as I call them, the 'myofascial meridian channels'. You can also practice: Spring meridian boost Summer meridian boostAutumn meridian boost

A short, 6-minute practice, moving all the different parts of the body, with a little bonus at the end... wait for it :-)

This is a lovely class to start off your day. We begin with some Yin poses and make a slow, easeful transition into a more energetic, Yang section, with some slow Sun salutations, a few standing poses and a couple of balancing postures. You may need a block, bolster and a blanket.

This class is inspired by flows that I learned from my teacher, Suzee Grilley. It's a fusion between 'classic' flow yoga and Capoeira movements (Capoeria is an Afro-Brazilian martial art that combines elements of acrobatics, music and dance). This is a fast practice with a lot of weight bearing on the hands, so please take care of your wrists (warm them up first and take rest if the movements are too strong). This practice is great for strengthening the upper body, but most important, have fun while doing it! Try not to get frustrated if you turn the wrong way once in a while - you can always do it again:-).

Not your usual, 'traditional' yoga class, but a short, fun, full-body strengthening workout. We will do some interesting, mixed movements, a bit of planking, some squats and push ups - so be prepared to sweat!

This class is designed for the end of the day. We move the spine in different directions, mostly twisting and side bending, to slow down the energy in the body - or from a more yogic perspective, to bring Shakti/Kundalini back to the place where she rests in the pelvic floor. It's a slow and easy to follow practice. We start on the floor, move up to standing then return to the floor again to rest. A perfect class to do before you go to bed.

A semi-intense core workout, where we work on core and upper body muscles to get into Bakasana or Crow pose. A nice, fun class to help you learn to fly!

In this vinyasa class we will be continuously flowing, repeating most movements 3 times and working on non-attachment by staying only for one breath in each pose. This gets the energy in the body to flow and builds strength, endurance. The sequence includes a little bit of everything with cat-cow warm ups, hip openers, lunges, squats and balancing poses. We finish together with Savasana.

This is a dynamic flow class focusing on backbends. We start with slow movements to wake up the energy in the spine and warm up the muscles, and then we spice it up a little. This a great practice to prepare the body for the classic backbends: Ustrasana (Camel pose), Dhanurasana (Bow pose), Setu Bandha Sarvangasana (Bridge) and Urdhva Dhanurasana (Wheel pose).

Seven rounds of dynamic Vinyasa. We start with a basic round and every round after we add a pose and vary another. It's fun, flowing, dynamic and challenging. However, you can adjust every pose to your needs. Make sure you have a towel handy, you might sweat a little!

This class is based on the classic Sun Salutations, through which we add movements you may recognise from the gym. Prepare yourself for some push ups, squats, lunges and Mountain-climbers. In other words, it's a total body workout. Work hard but have fun!
