YOGA - MINDFULNESS MEDITATION - JOURNALING
During our retreat stay we will practice Ayurvedic Vinyasa Flow Yoga which is a dynamic flow practice inspired by the teachings of Ayurveda, where the yoga poses follow the movement of breath, while engaging the muscles.
In Ayurvedic Yin Yoga sessions we will hold poses for a longer time, while the muscles are relaxed. Yin yoga has a positive effect on your organs, immune system, muscles and joints. It stimulates the connective tissue in the body. Yin yoga improves the flow of your vital energy by working on the energetic channels in your body.
In our Mindfulness Meditation classes we will focus on the present moment using breathing practices, mental imagery, muscle and body relaxation. Complementary Journaling helps us to focus on the positive and important things in life through targeted notebook entries.
