workshops & classes

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.

Lev­el One - learn to kick up to hand­stand against the wall

Use your Svaru­pa abo or drop in as a nor­mal class.

Space is lim­it­ed — max. 20 participants

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 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.
