Yoga with children
Location: Sportjugend Hessen, Frankfurt
This training course will provide foundational knowledge through hands-on yoga practice and information on theoretical aspects.
Background information is provided. Participants receive practical advice on how to incorporate yoga exercises into lessons for children aged 6 and up.
Regular yoga practice has been proven to improve children's motor skills and concentration. Even five- to seven-minute dynamic yoga sequences can produce positive effects. The training includes both short and longer yoga sequences.
An essential prerequisite for successful work with children is one's own understanding of yoga, so one's own yoga practice is also a topic.

Iyengar Yoga Workshop
Springtime energy
Location: Wacker factory - Darmstadt
Contribution: €150
Meditation and breath awareness encompass the entire practice, in all exercises, and also "beyond the mat" while we're in nature, during our shared brunch. And even after the workshop, when new, positive habits will continue to accompany you after the weekend.
Pranayama is a subtle practice; the internal movements achieved through breath control are not as obvious as, for example, raising an arm, but the effects of pranayama are noticeably profound in body and mind. With the appropriate techniques, we approach this art in yoga.
The asana practice is dynamic and powerful, yet also restorative and gentle. Both aspects of yoga complement each other. New experiences of the interplay between body and mind create a new sense of well-being, with the goal of arriving at one's true self.
September 19, 2025
Friday 6:00 PM - 9:00 PM
Dance workshop on Friday evening
Topic: Dancing with Yoga
Location: Kairosyoga, CH-Bremgarten AG
Contribution: 69,- CHF
In yoga, body and mind connect. Movements become more conscious and precise. This creates a sense of presence and lightness, a sense of uprightness and openness in body and mind, a good foundation for connecting with one's own creativity.
Techniques from Qi Gong and Feldenkrais make the dance flowing and free.
Influences from oriental dance are for grounding and sensuality in dancing.
In improvisation, authentic dance emerges from one's innermost being while the body flows virtuosically.
No previous dance experience is necessary.

Yoga training for teachers & educators:
Topic: Yoga for children
Location: Sportjugend Hessen, Frankfurt
Yoga for children - On the trail of happiness
Focus: Child-friendly meditations, relaxation games and yoga.
This practice-oriented seminar provides educators and professionals in the social sector with sound methods to integrate yoga, meditation and relaxation into everyday educational practice in a child-friendly way.
Participants learn how movement and rest can be balanced and mutually beneficial. Through playful and creative exercises, children discover how to consciously perceive their bodies, develop inner peace, and release tension – free from performance pressure and competition.
In addition to practical exercises, the seminar also covers the theoretical foundations of mindfulness, body awareness, and emotional regulation. Furthermore, the training offers practical suggestions on how to integrate yoga and relaxation elements into daily work with children aged 4 to 6 – for example, in daycare centers, preschools, or other social institutions.
The training also teaches the basics through the participant's own yoga practice.
Yoga Voice Dance - The Sound of the Heart
Based on a specific yoga practice, including voice training, voice physiology and improvisation,
unique sound and resonance experiences in singing and movement.
Breathing techniques from yoga and singing form the bridge between outer and inner space. The body can vibrate, resonate, and move in vocal improvisation and authentic dance.
In the mountains, at the heart of the Schweibenalp region, the resonance chambers of nature invite you to connect with them.
Indulge in wholesome, biodynamic, and vegetarian cuisine from our own permaculture garden and breathtaking natural surroundings. Schweibenalp is a perfect retreat for body, mind, and soul, where inner transformation can take place.
