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: Wackerfabrik - Darmstadt
Contribution: €150
Meditation and breath awareness are integral to the entire practice, creating a conscious framework for all exercises. This fosters greater clarity and presence not only during the weekend but also provides impulses that will accompany you beyond the mat, helping you integrate new, supportive habits into your daily life. These moments of conscious stillness and mindful breathing can help you stay centered, even in challenging situations.
Pranayama is a subtle practice: the internal movements achieved through targeted breath control are far less visible than, for example, raising an arm, yet their effects unfold noticeably deep within body and mind. Using appropriate techniques, we approach this refined art of yoga step by step, thereby training our awareness of inner processes. In this way, breath can become a conscious tool for regulating energy and promoting inner balance.
The asana practice is dynamic and powerful, finding its balance in restorative, gentle sequences – both sides complement and depend on each other. While the powerful elements promote stability, endurance, and inner strength, the quiet phases support regeneration, letting go, and integration. This alternation creates a balanced practice that both challenges and nourishes.

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.
