Restorative Yoga Masterclass/Workshop

13:30 — 16:30
Svaru­pa Lorraine

Feb­ru­ary, 01st, 2025 — 13:30 to 16:30

Explore restora­tive prop setups designed to help you de-stress and deeply reju­ve­nate! With the sup­port of yoga props, we’ll enhance body align­ment to nour­ish tis­sues, organs, and glands. Slow­ing down and cre­at­ing space for explo­ration will invite your mind and breath into a rich inner land­scape, tap­ping into your body’s nat­ur­al, intu­itive process­es.

In this 3‑hour Katon­ah Yoga deep dive, we’ll focus on ther­a­peu­tic prop setups, hands-on adjust­ments, and imag­i­na­tive prac­tices. These tech­niques fos­ter embod­ied aware­ness and help restore ener­gy, offer­ing a rich, mind­ful reset for both body and mind.

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.

A Katon­ah Yoga based approach to phys­i­cal and men­tal recov­ery: We use proven shapes, prop set-ups, the breath and our imag­i­na­tion to reform the body and re-inform the prac­tice.

Top­ics:

  • Breath tech­niques for flu­id­i­ty and link­ing the dif­fer­ent prac­tice fragments.
  • Katon­ah yoga the­o­ry: Sea­sons, organs and inter­nal body mapping.
  • The archi­tec­ture of ther­a­peu­tic prop set-ups tak­ing body pro­por­tions into account.
  • Adjust­ing, self-adjust­ing and on how to pro­mote a sta­ble phys­i­cal structure.
  • Active Recov­ery for Ath­letes: Address­ing injuries and pro­mot­ing restoration.
  • Reg­u­lat­ing the ner­vous and endocrine sys­tem for bal­ance and wellbeing.
  • Embod­ied med­i­ta­tion. Embod­ied men­tal health.

Guar­an­tee:
You will feel a lot of good­ness in your body and take home effec­tive recipes for your­self, a friend or your stu­dents. This train­ing is open to yoga prac­ti­tion­ers and teach­ers, the curi­ous and every­one mind­ful of an orga­nized inte­ri­or.
10 hours count towards the Katon­ah Yoga cer­ti­fi­ca­tion program.

Includ­ed:
Com­plete man­u­al with the­o­ry and detailed prac­tice descrip­tions (will be sent as a PDF doc­u­ment).
