🧘‍♀️ Psoas Work - Soul Work: Gentle power from the center

The psoas muscle - deep inside your body - is more than just a hip flexor. 🦴 It connects your spine and legs and is crucial for your posture, mobility and stability. But it also plays a major role mentally: as the "muscle of the soul", it is directly connected to your nervous system, your breathing and your emotions. 💓🌬️ Stress, anxiety, prolonged sitting or emotional strain can cause chronic tension in the psoas - often unnoticed. The consequences range from back pain and inner restlessness to sleep problems and exhaustion. 😮‍💨😔

In this gentle yoga retreat, you consciously take time to reconnect with yourself. You will learn how to relax, activate and sustainably strengthen the psoas. 🧘‍♂️💪 With mindful movement, conscious breathing and deep awareness, you will bring your body and mind into balance. Your nervous system calms down, your breathing becomes freer and your inner balance grows. 🌊🫁

✨ The effect is profound: you feel grounded, safe and centered - from the inside out. New energy, more lightness and a stronger body feeling may arise.

This retreat is ideal for beginners - you don't need any previous knowledge. A space just for you to let go, recharge your batteries and realign yourself on all levels. 🌱🌀
