Iyerngar Yoga Workshop
Relaxed and strengthened in the
Autumn
Location: Wackerfabrik - Darmstadt
Contribution: 150,- €
Meditation and breathing awareness encompass the entire practice, in all exercises, and also 'beyond the mat', while we are in nature, at brunch together. And also after the workshop, when new good habits will continue to accompany you after the weekend.
Pranayama is a subtle practice, the inner movements through breath control are not as obvious as, for example, raising an arm, but the effect of pranayama is noticeable deep in the body and mind. We approach this art in yoga with the appropriate techniques.
The asana practice is dynamic and powerful, but in balance it is regenerative and gentle. Both sides of yoga complement each other. New experiences of the interaction between body and mind create a new attitude to life, with the goal of finding oneself.
