Yoga and fairy tales
Fairy tales for preschool children introduce individual yoga postures in a playful way. Interrelated sequences of yoga postures are then learned. Images and fairy tales related to asanas transform yoga postures into an experiential journey. They stimulate the imagination and increase the joy of practicing. 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.

Yoga for concentration
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 course teaches both short and longer yoga sequences.
A key prerequisite for successful work with children is a strong understanding of yoga, so your own yoga practice will also be discussed. Participants will receive practical advice on how to incorporate asanas into their physical training with children.

Iyengar Yoga Workshop
Location: Wacker Fabrik - 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.
