WHAT IS YIN YOGA?

Yin Yoga is a passive, slow yoga practice. Your body goes into a state of deep relaxation through gentle stretches and asanas that you hold for 3 to 5 minutes. It is important to be aware of yourself and how your body feels: A position may bring up feelings of unease and adjustment, but should never hurt you. You surrender to the asana, you do nothing, but breath deeply and turn the work over to the asana.

Each pose energetically stimulates the acupressure points, meridians and chakras in your body. That stimulation enhance the body’s energetic flow and supports emotional equilibrium. The meridian system relates to the deepest layer of the connective tissue, so that the flow of life energy is positively influenced. Deeper body layers, the fascia, ligaments, tendons and joints are being addressed.

Yin Yoga is for everyone

This Yoga-style  is for everyone: the yoga poses are adapted to the practitioner, instead of the practitioner adapting to the yoga pose!

I hope to see you soon on the mat & practice gentle yet deep stretching with you! 🙂

My classes are dynamic and energizing, as well as slow and meditative. It is important to me to adapt the rhythm of the class to the group energy. If you prefer, I can also offer individual classes.

In a group setting I pay close attention to everyone, so that beginners and experienced yogis can enjoy Kundalini yoga simultaneously. We raise the energy together. The group experience is more important than the perfect body posture.  Safety is of upmost importance to me, and my intention is to create an enjoyable introduction into Kundalini Yoga, or enhancing your acquired practice.

I am looking forward to our joint journey!

Yoga during pregnancy is mostly gentle, but also includes strengthening elements. I adapt the sessions individually to your needs and those of the other expectant mothers. In my Prenatal Yoga classes, I place great emphasis on the connection between you and your baby, as well as the mothers among themselves.

Mindfulness exercises and meditation strengthen the connection and trust in your own intuition and your baby. In this way you will feel more and more how you can support yourself as an expectant mother, and your child in the womb. Through various breathing techniques you will improve the oxygen supply to your baby in the womb, and these techniques will also give you relief during birth.

Prenatal Yoga and Mantras

Poota Mata Kee Asees is a beautiful mantra to bless your (unborn) child. Hear or sing this mantra whilst visualizing and  feeling how your child is protected. Listen to it daily or whenever you feel that your child needs more protection.

A beautiful version of the mantra can be found here: Poota Mata Kee Asees – Nirinjan Kaur

The Adi Shakti Mantra is another mantra that is very suitable for pregnancy. It connects you to the great Mother Earth, and her Shakti energy. Listening to and reciting this mantra supports you in your role as an expectant mother, it helps you connect with the qualities of the great mother.

This is a very nice version of the mantra Adi Shakti: Ajeet Kaur – Adi Shakti

Pelvic floor

In my Prenatal Yoga classes you will also be deepening your knowledge of the pelvic floor by learning to focus your attention on it and gently activating it. A good awareness and functioning of the pelvic floor is important for the birth process as well as for the time after birth, so that it remains as healthy and functional as possible.

I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO ASSISTING YOU IN THIS VERY SPECIAL TIME IN YOUR LIFE! 🙂

No special knowledge is required to participate in Prenatal Yoga, but medical clearance is recommended. Optimal would be a participation from the 2nd pregnancy trimester onwards, when the pregnancy is already consolidated.

Currently I teach LIVE & ONLINE in small groups of up to 6 people in German, English and Spanish. If you prefer private lessons, this is of course also possible. I teach LIVE in the greater area of Mödling upon request, as well as regularly in the House of Health in Wr. Neudorf.

Generally, I teach weekdays from 18.45-20.15. Other dates are also possible by arrangement.

Prices:

Single lesson in a group -> 20€/90 mins | Package of 5 classes: 95 € | Package of 10 classes: 190 € (including essential oils)

Private lesson: 60€/60 mins | 90€/90 mins

Every second Friday I teach a Prenatal Yoga Workshop at House of Health in Wr. Neudorf:

Teaching Yoga for Children & Teenagers came unexpectedly to me. I heard about a children holiday event in Lavender Hill, Cape Town (when I was in South Africa) and felt that I should get involved. I have had lots of experience in teaching yoga to diverse groups of adults, but never before have I done Yoga with a big group of children between 6 and 14. I threw myself into the cold water and WE LOVED IT!

It was an amazing experience and I decided to ‘dive deeper’ into Yoga for Children & Teenagers. Hence I became a certified Kundalini Yoga Teacher for children in summer 2019.

Since then, I have been doing yoga on and off with larger groups of kids and teens. My feeling is that ten to fifteen participants is an ideal number. Of course, a children’s yoga session can also be designed with fewer, or more, small and large yogis.

Why children & teenagers also need yoga

.
Not only do we adults live in a stress-filled world, but so do our younger peers!

Yoga & meditation are ideal tools for dealing with challenging emotions. Learned early, they serve us for our entire lives.

Yoga improves emotion regulation in children. Personally, I was a very angry child, and would have certainly appreciated someone showing me what to do with “my anger.” 🙂

Yoga for kids can do wonders to their self-esteem. Perfecting a pose, or improving balance and flexibility, can give kids a sense of personal strength. Thus, it promotes body awareness and mindfulness.

Yoga enhances children’s concentration and memory. One of the greatest benefits of children’s yoga is that the various movements require children to concentrate and improve their memory skills, both of which can have a positive impact on their academic performance.

Yoga develops children’s strength and flexibility.

Yoga teaches discipline and reduces impulsivity. It can reduce difficult behaviors in the classroom by giving children a physical outlet to express themselves. It also teaches children discipline as they work to clear their minds and perfect their poses.

Do you want to give your child a kid-friendly introduction to the world of yoga?

The more energy flows within us, the fresher and more alive we feel. When the energy is flowing in your Chakras, your body, mind and spirit are healthy. Each chakra has its predominant characteristic: People communicate through their energy-centres and often exchange a lot of energy here.

Chakra-Systems

There are different chakra systems. I work with the 7 main chakras, as well as the earth star and soul star chakra in my classes.

Would you like to get to know yourself more deeply through your chakras?

You can find more theory about each chakra in the section Chakras. In my Chakra Day Workshop (8 hours), or in the eight-part Chakra Yoga and Meditation Series (8 yoga and meditation sessions of 90 mins each) you will learn practically a lot about yourself and your energy centers. The day workshop as well as the eight-part Chakra Yoga and Meditation Series are suitable for beginners as well as advanced practitioners.

I am looking forward to hearing from you! 🙂

As we consciously breathe and spend time in the greater outdoors, our body, mind and soul are strengthened.

DEEPEN THE CONTACT BETWEEN YOURSELF & THE ELEMENTS

&

DIVE INTO THE ART OF BEING!

Forest Bathing

Have you ever heard of forest bathing – also called “Shinrin-Yoku”? Contrary to what one might think, forest bathing does not mean bathing in forest waters, but rather the conscious perception of nature. You could also call it “bathing in the forest air”.

When you conscioulsy spend time in the forrest, you create a connection to nature that strengthens your body, mind and spirit. You connect with your natural source, perceive her with all your senses. Shinrin-Yoku helps you to leave your stressful everyday life behind you and become fully present in the now.

I love “bathing in the forest”, as well as the “forest bathing” … both have something for themselves.

MINDFULNESS, YOGA, MEDITATION & BATHING in NATURE is the most beautiful connection with my inner origin to me!

The healing power of the elements

I love to dive into the healing powers of the elements connected with my six senses!

I strengthen the connection to my 5 senses to be able to perceive my 6th sense better and as a consequence my 6th sense gives me answers for myself & my life! Like most people, I used to look for answers in the outside world. Over the years, I began to find them inside myself instead!

I love to deepen my connection to the elements earth, water, fire and air. I recharge myself with the forces of the elements in nature with affirmations, asanas, breathing exercises, energy-harmonizing techniques & visualizations!

Join my full-day workshop Mindfulness, Yoga & Meditation in Nature & enjoy feeling the power of the elements within you! 😊

WHERE: individually by arrangement at power places in nature

DURATION: 8 hours

COST: 88€

🍀 Relax and energize body, mind & spirit with yoga in nature!
🍀 Perceive your inner voice better and better by consciously spending time in Mother Nature!

Have I aroused your interest?
If so, I look forward to hearing from you. 😊

Feedback from Yogis & Yoginis

H: The week in Corsica was wonderful, wonderful for me! The yoga program did me a lot of good. The La More Holiday Village of the Friends of Nature can be highly recommended.

P: My yoga week in the fall of Corsica was wonderful! I was especially impressed by the new beneficial experience of getting to know Kundalini yoga on the beach of Calvi at sunrise, for that I am very grateful. This was exactly what I wanted, and my expectations were even exceeded: to enjoy the sea, the movement in a friendly group and under particularly attentive guidance on an almost deserted beach in the morning was for me the very best recreational value! So I will recommend Corsica, the accommodation and yoga especially and with great pleasure.

G: I felt very comfortable in Corsica, as well as in the yoga group, and was also very satisfied with our trainer Jelka.

If so, then I invite you to my 3-hour 12 nights after Christmas workshop!

💫 IN THIS WORKSHOP WE GIVE THANKS FOR ALL THE GOOD THAT HAS HAPPENED IN THE PAST YEAR
💫 AS A GROUP WE SOLVE, CLEANSE & CLARIFY WHAT WAS NOT SO GOOD IN THIS PAST YEAR
💫 FURTHERMORE WE SOW NEW SEEDS FOR THE COMING YEAR

The Advent

Advent is a valuable time to close out the past year and prepare for the year ahead: The first Advent this year is Dicember 3rd, 2023. This season  invites you to take a little time each day to listen to your inner self. Create a mystical space in your home:

REFLECT, DISCOVER & REVEAL!

The 12 Nights after Christmas

The 12 nights after Christmas are the 12 holy days and nights between Christmas and Epiphany. This said period, has always been considered a sacred time. The magic nights have their roots in the Germanic and Celtic tradition and stem from the difference of days in the solar year and the lunar year. They symbolically stand for the twelve months in the new year, and predict in each case the events in the assigned month.

Through a conscious approach to the 12 nights after Christmas you have the opportunity to actively influence and positively shape your coming year. The veils between the “other world” and “our world” are thin, and we can connect more easily with the “invisible world”. We receive intuitive hunches and are receptive to what is coming.

♡ ♡ CREATE your FULFILLING NEW YEAR ♡ ♡

The workshop can be conducted LIVE as well as ONLINE.

Through the regular practice of yoga and meditation, you restore the unity between body, mind and soul. You get to know yourself and your infinite potential more and more. It enables your mind to gain deeper insights and increases your awareness of your own life connections. Furthermore, you will find your individual path to more health, balance and self-development. You find the courage to live your dreams. You grow beyond your self-imposed limits and realize that you can do much more than you thought you could. Yoga and meditation support you in mastering your everyday life with serenity and flexibility. You accept what is now, but still continue to work steadily towards the fulfillment of your dreams!

Chakras

Humans are not only made of flesh and blood, but we are above all energetic beings, with chakras, which are energy centers inside and outside the body. These are connected along the spine via the energy channels. Each chakra supplies energy to a specific area of the body. The more energy that flows into us, the fresher and more alive we feel. However, this energy flow can be blocked by traumatic events or
other situations. As a result, certain areas of our energetic system suffer from an undersupply. Consequently, diseases or dysfunctions of internal organs also occur.

The chakras do not exist organically, just like the soul, but have nevertheless had their place in various spiritual areas, such as yoga, meditation, tantra, reiki and in healing systems such as TCM, Ayurveda, etc. for thousands of years.

The knowledge of the chakras, like all other basic energetic concepts, has its origin in the scriptures of the “Golden Age”, the Vedic scriptures and the Upanishads (Vedic is an Indo-European language and a predecessor of Sanskrit; the Upanishads are a collection of philosophical writings).

Since the chakras are not visible to the physical eyes, recognition of their importance has taken a while for us in the West. Now, however, they have a permanent place in many systems, especially if they are of Eastern origin.

There are many chakras in and outside the human body. In my yoga and meditation classes, I work with the 7 main chakras inside the body, as well as the earth star and soul star chakras outside the physical body. When the energy is flowing in your chakras, your body, mind and spirit are healthy.

Support the Energy Flow in your Chakras

There are different methods to support the energy flow in your chakras, there are different methods to get to know yourself better: Yoga and Meditation is one of the many!

Do you want to learn more?

Yoga & Chakra Workshop

In my Chakra Day Workshop (8 hours), or in the eight-part Chakra Yoga and Meditation Series (8 yoga and meditation sessions of 90 mins each) you will practically learn a lot of new things about yourself and your chakras. The day workshop as well as the eight-part Chakra Yoga and Meditation series are suitable for beginners as well as advanced practitioners.

It is located at the base of the spine between the anus, genitals and coccyx. The earth is its element. Its color is red.

Themes of the 1st chakra

Confidence, Strength, Self-preservation are the themes of our basechakra. When the energy is flowing in the 1st chakra, we are confidently grounded, feel safe and secure in life, allow us to be vulnerable, see problems as challenges, live in the here and now, trust in the process of life and value ourselves!

Health problems in the spine, lower back, legs and feet belong to the energetic area of the 1st chakra. The solid structures in the body, the bones, the entire skeleton and the teeth are also influenced by the root chakra. As the base of the spine, it determines immobility or flexibility, defense or openness.

If the energy in the root chakra is unbalanced, we usually have a fearful personality. On a physical level, constipation, lower back pain and sciatica problems, for example, have to do with a root chakra imbalance.

If the energy in the root chakra is balanced, we feel safe and secure in life, allow ourselves to be vulnerable, see problems as a challenge, live in the here and now, trust in the process of life and appreciate ourselves!

Activation and harmonization of the root chakra

• the color red: red clothes, red food
• aromatherapy: stimulation of the sense of smell, e.g. rosemary in a fragrance lamp or in a full bath
• Stones: ruby, obsidian
• contact with the element earth, conscious grounding, gardening, walks (ideally barefoot), jogging, dancing
• physical work
• foot massages
• deep breathing into the root chakra
• yoga: baby pose, warrior, tree, life nerve stretching, crow, Sufi circles, camel ride, Mulbhanda
• AFFIRMATIONS for your 1st chakra, also called ROOT CHAKRA, BASE CHAKRA or MULADHARA CHAKRA:

  ❤️ I feel safe and secure in life!
  ❤️ I allow myself to be vulnerable!
  ❤️ I see problems as a challenge!
  ❤️ I live in the here and now!
  ❤️ I trust in the process of life!
  ❤️ I appreciate myself!
  ❤️ I am! I allow myself to be! I have the right to be!
  ❤️ I stay where I am! I allow myself to stay where I am! I have the right to stay where I am!
  ❤️ I exist! I allow myself to exist! I have the right to exist!

Themes of the 2nd Chakra – Svadhisthana

On the emotional and energetic level its themes are: Creativity, sexuality, joy of life, lust, optimism, shame and sadness.

Overemphasis on pleasure gratification, compulsive sexuality or sexual manias are one side of an unbalanced 2nd chakra. Frigidity, bladder infections, potency problems or orgasm difficulties are the other. Menstrual cramps, and for women the problem of accepting their own femininity in a masculine world, can have their energetic origin in the unbalanced sacral chakra.

In the philosophy of yoga, the sexual encounter is a communication between the 14 chakras of both partners- they all have to be open to experience a loving and universal encounter with each other beyond the sexual, physical pleasure!

The challenges of this energy-centre

The challenge of the 2nd Chakra – Svadhisthana is the opening for a conscious interaction with other people, for friendships, social relationships and  partnerships. It stands for polarity and conflict, and at the same time for the longing to overcome the dualism of masculinity and femininity, of Yin and Yang in the fusion on a higher level. The other is your mirror, opens the door to a part of your own self, which you might not want to admit and which you might try to suppress. Relationships are not accidental, they are the confrontation with your own strengths and weaknesses. They challenge us to awareness and inner growth.

If the energy in the sacral chakra is imbalanced, on the EMOTIONAL LEVEL we tend to:

• exhibitionism
• relationships without depth
• frigidity
• possessiveness

Imbalance on the PHYSICAL LEVEL can lead to:

• impotence
• bladder-prostate problems
• ailments in our sexual organs
• lower back pain can arise.

A person with a balanced 2nd Chakra – Svadhisthana tends to:

• have an open personality
• likes to share
• is passionate &  “we-oriented”
• maintains a conscious approach to  seher/his sexual energy and the creative energy flows

Activation and Harmonization of the Sacral Chakra

• The color orange: orange clothes, orange food
• Contact with the element of water: bathing, swimming, walks by the water body
• Walks, meditations in the moonlight
• Stones: carnelian, orange calcite
• Interpersonal contact
• Partner dances
• Yoga: Sat Kriya, frogs, cobra, butterfly, cat-cow, pelvic floor lifting
• Affirmations for the 2nd Chakra – Svadhisthana:🧡 I feel! I give myself permission to feel! I have the right to feel!
  🧡 My sexual and creative energy is in the flow!
