Summary

6 days of yoga and yoga philosophy in the special energy of Oberzell Monastery. Course instructor: Sylvia Asmodena Kurtar The extensive monastery grounds with their herb garden, old trees, water sources, and fountains are a special place for inner reflection and geomantic walks!
We meditate, practice asanas, learn more about "feeling ourselves" and have an intense and fulfilling time together. Everything is possible, nothing is mandatory! Those who wish can greet the day with me with a morning meditation at 6:00 a.m. outdoors. Two to three classic yoga and Lu Jong sessions (always before meals, of course) round off our daily asana practice. We talk about yoga as a philosophy of life, attune to our finer perceptions, go for walks, I read stories to you... Let yourself be surprised by what this delicate, tender time in this peaceful and highly spiritual place will stir within you.
