Embodiment Lab — a laboratory for experience
Feb 15th, 2024
14:00 — 17:00
Svarupa Lorraine
February, 15th, 2025 — 14:00 to 17:00
This collaborative space does not focus on mastering specific techniques, but on evolving toward a richer understanding of our being to foster more genuine connections with both ourselves and that which is around us.
We come together to embark on a profound exploration through our body-instrument. Guided by an integrative blend of somatics, yoga, free movement, soundscapes and being in community we challenge our preconceived notions.
Each lab will provide a variety of practices and principles that encourage you to investigate, sense, question, express and unravel. We will engage in ways that refine our perception of the subtle shifts within our body-mind-heart. This is a format to leap into the new and strange while reconnecting with our deep inner knowing.

Mantra in Motion
March 22nd, 2025
14:30 — 17:00
Svarupa Lorraine
March, 22nd, 2024 — 14:30 to 17:00
Mantra in Motion verbindet eine vertiefte Yogapraxis mit der Kraft des gemeinsamen Mantra Singens – ein Raum, in dem sich dein Körper-Herz-Geist vereinigen kann und dadurch das, was du in deiner Essenz bist, stärkt.
Jeder Gedanke, jede Intension, jedes Mantra setzt eine Ursache, die eine Wirkung hat. Kräfte, die unser Sein stärken, unser Leben ausbalancieren und neue Tore öffnen können.
So wie Asanas den Körper harmonisieren und stärken, sind Mantras eine Schlüsselpraxis für einen ruhigen, klaren Geist. Zusammen mit der Kraft des Klangs, führen sie uns zu unserer ureigenen Essenz, der Essenz des Seins an sich. Ein Zustand, in dem wir uns wieder erinnern können, was wirklich wichtig ist.
