Nature is beginning to glow in fresh green, your energy is slowly awakening from hibernation and you feel like you really want to blossom now? Spring - this is the time when nature comes back to life, when we start to become more active again and perhaps also approach things in a new and different way. In most cases, we have to let go of something old in order to start something new and take off with fresh energy and new strength. At the Yin Yoga & Ayurveda Retreat, we immerse ourselves in the energy of letting go and enjoy fresh, springtime Ayurvedic cuisine.
Are you longing to take time just for yourself? To be able to really perceive yourself and your needs again? Experience a special kind of time-out. Three days of yin yoga, meditations, self-love rituals and coaching impulses await you. In between, plenty of time for yourself on long walks in the beautiful natural surroundings or relaxing with a good book in a cozy corner.
Anke Keller will give us theoretical insights into Ayurveda. She will also be conjuring up fresh Ayurvedic spring dishes throughout the weekend. Let yourself be surprised by the variety of flavors of the nourishing meals made from regional and seasonal organic food to enjoy.
In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), spring stands for new beginnings, growth and new beginnings. In this phase of the year, nature awakens to new life - and your body and mind also long for movement, lightness and inner cleansing. You can therefore use spring specifically for yourself to effectively harmonize your liver energy and start the warm season with clarity and vitality. Spring is associated with the element wood, to which the liver and gallbladder meridians belong. Wood symbolizes the sprouting young green of spring and bamboo is probably the most fitting symbol for this transformation phase: evergreen, fast sprouting, incredibly strong and yet flexible in all directions. We activate the two meridians with various Yin Yoga poses and allow the Qi - the life energy - to flow freely again, so that harmony can be restored in body, emotion and mind.
Yin yoga can help you to come back to yourself, recharge your batteries and stay focused. Silence allows us to listen attentively to our body and our emotional world.
Simply switch off and enjoy. Give more space to lightness. Playfully try out the individual asanas. Yin yoga is not about building up muscles or sinking particularly deeply into a forward bend. It's about you and your body. You can simply switch off and relax deeply.
Yin yoga is a calm style of yoga that is mainly practiced lying down or sitting. The exercises are held for approx. 5 minutes and supported with aids. Yin yoga teaches you to become more aware of yourself and your body. By remaining in the individual positions for a long time, tension can be released and the tissue feels softer and more flexible.
Meditation and self-love rituals support you in getting in touch with your very own needs.
Allow yourself to dive deep into your essence. Embark on a journey to yourself. All the stories that have separated us from ourselves can end. We immerse ourselves in the community of wonderful women and allow a new trusting togetherness to emerge. We can recognize the light in each of us and allow it to grow.
