Teachers

Four people who did something else before. You notice it in their classes.

Blau is a concept: the people are made up, the photos generated. Each of them breathes here in the tempo of their own course.

  1. Lene stands at the steel window with a cup, looking out over the roofs
    Breathing tempo: 4 in · 4 out

    Tempo 4 / 4 · Vinyasa

    01 · at Blau since 2019

    Lene

    Ten years as an intensive care nurse.

    Teaches the way she used to do shift handovers: clear, calm, no detours. Her 06:45 class is for people who have a shift to get to afterwards.

    Watches for
    Shoulders creeping up to the ears.

    Jonas

    Physiotherapist at a practice in Altenessen.

    Explains every exercise in words first, then with his hands if you like. Would rather say “smaller” twice than “more” once.

    Watches for
    The pelvis, before it tips into a hollow back.

    Ada

    Studied singing, led choirs for twelve years.

    She learned to breathe in a choir, not on a mat. Her lunchtime classes are almost silent, and at the end you notice how loud the morning was.

    Watches for
    The out-breath. It is allowed to be longer.

    Kemal

    Drives a tram on shifts during the day.

    Teaches the early and the late classes and drives in between. Knows what eight hours of sitting does to a back, and builds the poses with blankets and blocks so that nothing pulls.

    Watches for
    Knees, and anything that pulls instead of stretches.
