Yin Therapy Workshop - Vienna (in German)

This practical workshop is suitable for yoga practitioners and yoga teachers alike.

In a fast-paced, performance-oriented, crisis-ridden life, we often feel alone, overwhelmed and stressed. Our response to this is often to demand more of ourselves - a desire to go higher, faster and further. The result is often deep physical and mental exhaustion.

"No mud, no lotus." - Thich Nhat Hanh

Yin Therapy deliberately takes the opposite path to create awareness of the imbalance in the body and mind through meditation, contemplation, restorative yoga and yin yoga. We begin to feel again what we need in life and learn to distinguish the essential from the inessential.

"The way to do is to be." - Lao Tzu

In the first half of our 4-hour Yin Therapy practical session (no theory), we will harmoniously connect the mind and body in movement. In this present, moment-focused state of being, there is no room for everyday thoughts. The stress falls away from us. This is meditation in motion.

In the second half you will be guided deeper and deeper into stillness until only the stillness of being (without movement) remains.
