Fall in Love with Copenhagen
We created this page for our international yoga community — students from around the world who are curious about Copenhagen. Discover what makes this city such a special place to deepen your practice, earn your certification, and experience Scandinavian life.
More Than a City — A Way of Living
Copenhagen isn't just where you'll train — it's where you'll experience a lifestyle built around balance, beauty, and wellbeing. Here's what daily life looks like in one of the world's most livable cities.
Our Home: Christianshavn
Nestled in one of Copenhagen's most charming and historic neighborhoods, our studio sits in a building with over 400 years of stories to tell.
A Historic Gateway with a New Purpose
Our studio is located in one of Christianshavn's oldest buildings — a structure that dates back over 400 years. In centuries past, this very spot served as the gate to "Køb Haven," the Shopping Harbour that gave Copenhagen its name.
Today, this historic space has been thoughtfully transformed into a sanctuary for yoga, movement, and teacher training — honoring its past while serving a new generation of seekers.
"Køb Haven" — the old Danish name meaning "Merchant's Harbour" — is the origin of the word Copenhagen. Our building once stood at its entrance.
Christianshavn itself feels like a village within the city. Canals wind through cobblestone streets lined with colorful townhouses, independent cafes, and local shops. It's peaceful, picturesque, and just 10 minutes from the city center by bike or metro.

Hygge — The Art of Cozy Presence
Pronounced "hoo-gah"
Hygge is more than a word — it's a way of being. It's the warmth of candlelight on a winter evening, the comfort of a slow morning with coffee, the presence you feel when surrounded by good company. In Denmark, hygge isn't a trend — it's woven into everyday life.
Denmark consistently ranks among the happiest countries in the world, and hygge is often cited as a key reason why.
But Danish culture runs deeper than cozy aesthetics. It's built on trust, equality, and balance:
- Trust-based society — leave your bike unlocked, your bag unattended
- Work-life balance is sacred — evenings and weekends are protected
- Egalitarian mindset — everyone is treated as equal
- Slow living meets modern city — presence in everyday moments
The principles of hygge — presence, warmth, intentionality — align beautifully with yoga philosophy. Training here means immersing yourself in a culture that already embodies mindfulness in daily life. It's not something you have to escape the city to find.
