4 yoga days in a monastery: strength for the body & peace for the mind

4 days of yoga and yoga philosophy in the special energy of Oberzell Monastery.
Course leader: Sylvia Asmodena Kurtar

The extensive monastery grounds with its herb garden, old trees, water springs and fountains are a special place for inner contemplation and geomantic walks!
We meditate, practise asanas, learn more about "feeling yourself" and have an intensely fulfilling time together.
Everything can, nothing must!
If you like, you can welcome the day with me with a morning meditation outside at 6:00 am. 3 classic yoga and Lu Jong classes (always before dinner, of course) round off our daily asana practice.
We talk about yoga as a philosophy of life, go into our finer perception, I read you stories...
Let yourself be surprised what this delicate time in this peaceful and highly spiritual place will move in you.
