Alignment Workshop - 17. Maerz
mit Nicole Gafner
Aufgrund der grossen Nachfrage bieten wir im März einen weiteren Alignment-Workshop an. In diesem Kurs werden wir uns viel Zeit nehmen, die einzelnen Asanas Schritt für Schritt durchzugehen und unter dem Aspekt der Spiraldynamik anzuschauen.
Spiraldynamik ist ein erlernbares Bewegungskonzept, das sich am Bauplan unseres Körpers orientiert und uns den Weg zu einer konstruktiven Körperwahrnehmung sowie einem differenzierten Bewegungsbewusstsein weist.
New Date out: Yoga Retreat Mallorca 9. - 16. June 2012
with Susan Tomasko
We are going back to La Serraina, Mallorca!
On this retreat, we take a break from busy routines and we enter into a state where you can sink into deep relaxation by living blissfully in the present moment surrounded by nature.
Practicing all of the aspects of yoga including silent walks, seated meditation, cleansing pranayama (breath work), powerful asana (posture work), uplifting chanting, and learning philosophy allows you to create the space in your life for positive connection and personal transformation.
Partner Yoga Workshop - 12. February 2012
with Nicole Gafner and Susan Tomasko (taught in German and English)
In this workshop we will move through playful sequences of partner-assisted poses where one helps the other, and double yoga poses where each reflects the other in dynamic and balanced symmetries. This workshop is for all levels. You can come with a friend, sibling, romantic partner, etc. Or come on your own and we’ll pair you up. The only prerequisite is the ability to giggle and have fun.
Inversions Workshop - 26. February 2012
With Susan Tomasko
Loose your fear to invert - turn upside down with lightness and courage.
The concept behind inversion poses is expressed in yoga texts as viparita karani. Viparita karani is translated as meaning ‘opposite process’. This simply means facilitating a different perspective. From the purely physical point of view, this different perspective in inversion poses is literal - in terms of looking at the world from a different physical viewpoint - as well as involving the body being supported in a different way.
But as yoga is more than simply physical exercises, there are other processes that are assisted. A lot of yoga is designed to help us change mental habits as well as physical habits. Through increasing our ability to adapt to change, instead of being stuck in old habitual responses, we increase our capacity for growth and transformation. This applies in all areas of our lives.
Sonnengruss Workshop - 29. Januar 2012
mit Nicole Gafner
...und weiter geht es mit den Sonnengruessen!
Surya Namaskar, der Sonnengruss oder auch das Sonnengebet, wirkt belebend auf Körper, Geist und Seele und bietet uns eine wunderbare Möglichkeit, frisch, voller Leben und absolut präsent in einen neuen Tag zu starten. Blockierte Energien werden ins Fliessen gebracht, Gelenke mobilisiert, Muskeln und Bänder gestärkt und gedehnt, die Wirbelsäule wird geschmeidig und das Herz-Kreislaufsystem angeregt.
