SOLD OUT: 8 Week Journey: Yoga Immersion at Holzmarkt

“Yoga is the journey of the self, through the self, to the self.” 

– The Bhagavad Gita

In January 2020 we will start our 8-week journey through the fundamental principles of Vinyasa yoga, Asana (body postures) and Pranayama (breath regulation). 

This Yoga Immersion is for those newly embarking on a yoga journey, or interested in rebuilding the foundations of their practice to suit their individual needs. So whether you are still new to the practice or you would like to immerse yourself in your path, this course is just for you. Freddi and Dania will guide you through the eight weeks helping you to start your year mindfully and connected, with your body and your mind.

With each class, you will practice different breathing (pranayama) techniques and their physical and emotional benefits. You will then explore and deconstruct key yoga poses (asana) and learn how to practice them in a functional way suitable for your body. The practice will end with a beautiful savasana and a tea circle which gives you the opportunity to ask questions about the newly received knowledge.

This course is suitable for all levels and meant to help you rise from wherever you are at right now.

All classes will take place once a week in the beautiful ChiroHouse at Holzmarkt with panoramic views over Berlin and the Spree. 

The course is guided in English. Mats are available onsite.
