Iyengar Yoga Workshop
Spring power
Location: Wacker Factory - Darmstadt
Contribution: 150,- €
Meditation and breath awareness encompass the entire practice, in all exercises, and also beyond the mat, while we'll be out in nature, at brunch together. And also after the workshop, when new good habits will continue to accompany you beyond the weekend.
Pranayama is a subtle practice; the inner movements created by controlling the breath are not as obvious as, say, raising an arm, but the effect of pranayama is palpable and deeply felt in the body and mind. With the appropriate techniques, we approach this art in yoga.
The asana practice is dynamic and powerful, yet balanced by restorative and gentle balance. Both aspects of yoga complement each other. New experiences of the interplay of body and mind create a new sense of life, with the goal of finding inner peace.

In this transformative yoga retreat, you are invited to get closer to your inner truth. It's a special experience when your attention rests entirely in the body and a new sense of alignment and permeability emerges through precise, well-founded yoga technique. The body becomes a subtle resonance chamber – and the conscious perception of your own inner sound can become a profound, spiritual experience. As the mental levels calm down, inner peace and clarity emerge.
A precise and profound asana practice based on Iyengar Yoga, pranayama, and meditation form the core of this work. Inspirational impulses from yoga philosophy and a mindful connection with qigong create a holistic practice in which two traditions are united in a meaningful way.
The Schweibenalp unity center is located in the Bernese Oberland at 1,100 meters above sea level, overlooking the turquoise Lake Brienz. It is an oasis of tranquility amidst nurturing nature.

Yoga and fairy tales

The exercise sequences are rhythmic and child-friendly. In the advanced training, the basics are taught through personal yoga practice and through information on the theoretical background. Practical examples provide approaches and ideas for teaching.
