Resilience and Inner Strength for Coping with Stress (Educational Leave, including Lodging and Full Board)

Recharge. Reduce stress. Develop inner strength.

For many people, the pressure to perform, packed to-do lists, and emotional strain are increasingly shaping their daily work lives. When new demands are constantly piling up, it’s easy to lose sight of your own needs, your health, and your inner balance.

In this course, you’ll combine in-depth knowledge about stress and the nervous system with the restorative effects of yoga and meditation, as well as specialized work with horses. Nature and direct interaction with the animals create space to step back from your professional routine and rediscover your own inner resources. You’ll learn how to move beyond mere survival mode and develop greater personal responsibility for your resilience, communication, and well-being.

What you’ll take away:

- Effective methods for relaxation and stress management
- A better understanding of stress, the nervous system, and your own reaction patterns
- Greater inner strength, composure, and personal responsibility
- New insights for communication and conflict resolution in your daily work life

Yoga & Meditation:

Regenerative anti-stress yoga, meditation, and progressive muscle relaxation help you consciously release tension. In addition, you’ll learn short, practical techniques that can be used discreetly in the workplace.

Stress Management & Resilience:

You’ll gain in-depth knowledge about the biological mechanisms of stress and the functioning of the nervous system. This also involves mindfulness, inner stability, and applying these insights to your own work environment.

Horse-Assisted Self-Awareness:

The horses serve as unbiased partners for direct experiences and reflection. Through nonverbal communication, leading exercises, and working with the herd, you’ll be able to directly experience your own impact, posture, and communication style.

Follow-up Activities After the Course:

The educational leave program can be booked individually and, upon request, combined with the course “Conflict Management and Inner Stability in the Workplace with Yoga and Archery” to form a 10-day educational leave program.

With this combination, the weekend between the two course weeks is yours to spend as you wish. Use the time for horseback riding, wellness activities, or simply to relax in nature.

Additional riding lessons can be booked separately from the seminar content. Your previous riding experience is not a factor. Beginners, adults returning to riding with basic knowledge, and advanced riders are all welcome.

No prior experience with yoga or horseback riding is required to participate in the course. There is no riding; work with the horses takes place from the ground. A normal level of basic fitness is sufficient for the yoga sessions.
