The Yoga School in Bergen is part of the Scandinavian Yoga and Meditation School, which was established in 1983 by Bjarke Jørgensen. As Bergen's oldest yoga school, it has taught approximately 24,000 people in yoga, relaxation and meditation, with a focus on the Bergen area. The school offers a varied program with basic and advanced courses in classical yoga, as well as specialized courses for pregnant women, where the focus is on breathing techniques and relaxation.
In addition to physical classes, the Yoga School offers video courses to supplement the teaching. Participants have access to a library of videos, and retreat opportunities are arranged at the Ask course center, located two kilometers north of Bergen. The teaching is characterized by an atmosphere of peace and quiet, with simple and clear instructions without music. The school also has a selection of yoga books, wool mats, meditation cushions and other equipment available for the serious yoga student. New courses start in October, and discounts are given to youth and seniors on all courses.
