What Is Esoteric Integral Yoga?
Yoga Beyond the Physical Body
Practiced properly, yoga is much more than simple physical training. It helps us develop mental, emotional, psychological, and spiritual qualities, and transforms us in more ways than the eyes can see.
By practicing yoga, we learn to cultivate & consciously direct our inner resources, and gain the ability to transform ourselves & our lives in whatever direction we choose.
The tools and techniques presented in this course help us to better understand ourselves, develop total self-mastery, and achieve our highest goals & aspirations.
Realization Through Direct Experience
In this yoga course you find each technique and its effects thoroughly explained by an experienced yoga teacher, and supported by written courses.
We practice yoga in a unique manner, where we stay in each asana for a prolonged period of time with a specific inner focus and attitude.
Each technique is followed by an awareness phase of synthesizing the effects in a continuous state of guided interiorized attention.
In this way, all aspects presented in the theory – Chakras, Nadis, Prana, flows of energy, etc – can be personally explored & verified by each and every one of us, through our own practice, direct experience, and personal transformation over time.
Our teachers will guide you to correctly perform each technique, so you can experience the effects for yourself!
Law of Resonance: Modern Science and Ancient Tradition
The foundation of Esoteric Integral Yoga, and any authentic yoga tradition, is the Law of Resonance – which starts from the fundamental notion that everything in manifestation is made of vibration.
In the scientific world we find the Law of Resonance studied and applied in physics and music, concerning physical phenomena. It is what allows transfer of radio waves from a broadcasting station to a receiving antenna through a specific tuning of their frequency of vibration.
Yoga reveals that the Law of Resonance is also applicable in towards more subtle forms of energy, such as thoughts and emotions.
Various attitudes, states and qualities are characterized by different frequencies of vibration. Through yoga, we can learn to ‘tune’ in and resonate with them – using our body and attention – to (for example) increase our intelligence, or our capacity to heal and be happy.
Beyond this, the course serves a genuine bridge between ancient spirituality and modern science. The vast & in-depth curriculum references research & studies from the fields of biology, anatomy, psychology, neuroscience, and physics (mechanics, electro-magnetics, quantum physics) – linking them to the corresponding teachings of the ancient traditions.
Course Curriculum
The course topics include:
Fundamental Laws & Principles of the Universe – such as the Law of Resonance, Law of Rhythm, and Law of Polarity
Techniques to develop mental concentration, creative imagination, and meditation, and to eliminate stress
Methods of relaxation and regeneration – both physically and mentally – which help to re-establish a state of health and vitality, inner harmony. The lessons on healing with the help of subtle breaths (PRANA) will be very especially useful and extremely efficient
Colors and their physical & psychological effects on the human being (for example, the antiseptic properties of the blue color, and the awakening the creativity when under the influence of sunlight)

Structure of the Class
In the first level, classes are 2 hours consisting of approx. 75-90 minutes of practice, and approx. 30-45 minutes of theory.
There are 46-48 classes per level – 1 class per week. Classes pause in August and resume in September each year.
The yoga course follows an in-depth curriculum with a progressive learning structure, where the practice & theory each week builds upon the last.
Everyone is welcome, regardless of prior experience and physical shape. Even if you have practiced yoga before, you will find a completely new depth of practice and knowledge, starting from Level 1 of the course!
Practice
Each class includes a practice session of approx. 75-90 minutes and consists of 3 phases:
1. Initial awareness & warming-up exercises
The practice begins with an initial phase of awareness and warming up – to stretch the muscles, increase flexibility, and gently prepare (physically, energetically, and mentally) to perform the various postures of ASANAS successfully.
2. The main YOGA techniques
Practice can include asanas, pranayama, meditation, and other techniques taught in the course. Here we gradually learn to perceive the specific physical, energetic, mental/emotional and spiritual effects of each asana.
3. The complete yogic relaxation
The complete yogic relaxation is an active, conscious relaxation of the entire being. It crystallizes the results of the practice, creating long-lasting effects we can perceive even in daily life.
Theory
Theory (approx. 30-45 minutes) will be presented on various subjects.
In the first level you will learn about the Law of Resonance, the practice and effects of various ASANA-s (postures), cleansing & purification techniques, and Yoga Nidra (conscious yogic sleep).
The first level also includes an initiation into Laya Yoga – a highly efficient meditation technique using the subtle sound of a secret mantra.
Each Class Also Includes
Elements to support the student in their journey, in the form of written material and personal support from the teachers and the community.
Weekly Course Materials
The course materials include descriptions of the techniques you will learn, and the effects of these techniques on a physical, emotional, mental and spiritual level.
Due to the depth of the courses, the course materials often contain more information than is possible to discuss in the class – so we highly recommend you study and keep them!
Personal Guidance
You will be guided by experienced teachers who check and correct your postures & technique in the practice.
Each class also includes time for questions & answers and group discussions. And you can also schedule 1-on-1 meetings with your teacher(s) for more personal advice on specific issues or life situations!

Teachers
Jón (Copenhagen)
Jón first met yoga in Iceland over 10 years ago, and for him it had a major impact and helped immensely from the very beginning. After a series of synchronicities and inspirations, he moved to Denmark and started running a retreat center for Yoga and Meditation.
He has for many years been putting the knowledge he receives through the yoga course into his daily life, developing his career, inner life, mental capacities and his health. For him Yoga is the science of life and how to live so that we can reach our full potential.
Jón has been teaching yoga in retreats and festivals for the last 3 years and now will be our yoga teacher for the beginners yoga class in Copenhagen. He is a very enthusiastic Aries, and his teaching style is full of life, humor and personal stories.

Emmeline has been a practitioner of yoga and tantra since 2012, a certified Yoga Teacher since 2018 and is currently in the Atman Federation’s Tantra Teacher Training Course.
