Queen and king in your own realm - your yoga time-out at Waldquartier Bad Essen

Yoga and fairy tales: A journey to ourselves through movement and stories.
Yoga and fairy tales are two ancient traditions that may seem different to us at first glance, but they both have a profound symbolism that can touch and transform us on an inner level. They offer us ways to live our lives more consciously, to understand ourselves better and to connect with nature and our fellow human beings.
Fairy tales are more than just stories that fascinated us as children. They carry timeless wisdom that can still guide us today. The characters and events in fairy tales - such as the search for a treasure, the fight with a dragon or the ascent of a mountain - are symbols of the inner challenges that every human being experiences. They speak to our souls and remind us that there is also heroism, change and healing within us.
Yoga, on the other hand, is a physical and spiritual practice that helps us to find balance - with ourselves and our environment. Each yoga pose (asana) tells a story and invites us to experience it in our own bodies. The warrior poses symbolize strength and determination, while the tree pose reminds us of our deep roots in nature. In combination with breathing exercises and meditation, yoga becomes a modern fairytale path on which we can encounter ourselves.
