Tãla Drumming

account_circleEsh Loh

location_onYoga Raum Kufstein

Facts!Tãla Drumming is a new spiritual drumming concept that aims to create awareness that existence is permeated with rhythms and vibrations. The direct experience of drumming brings you into the moment, trains mindfulness and lets you experience the energy of the drum’s sound. You can address different levels of your subconscious with the drum. In the process, suppressed emotions and thoughts can come to light. When they emerge, this is a sign that we are letting them go. It’s a process of release that prepares us for new experiences.

Drumming is fun and lets us be free! Let yourself be touched by the oldest musical instrument in the world, experience its ancient power and be carried away to other realms. Everyone can join in – no musical experience necessary!

Hip flexibility and strength

account_circleMargit & Peter Stegmair

location_onCulture Quarter Kufstein, hall

Facts!Opening the hips is important, but so is correct centring. At a physical level, the hips and hip joint reflect the balance between yin and yang. For example, the hip is the link that allows us to walk, balancing the movement of our legs and connecting them. This is why a lack of mobility in the hips can create problems in the knees as well as causing back pain. In this yoga session we use spirituality to sense our hip, and accept the sensations that are created. We strengthen the muscles around our pelvis (stone) to give it the rootedness and stability (earth) that it needs and that we also need to master our life with lightness (air). The session is sure to get you sweating, but your endurance (water) may allow you to achieve something new. Try to peacefully allow the change.

Facts!“All the versions of you that you didn’t love, brought you to the version of you, that you love now. Be grateful for every you you’ve been.” - Lalah Delia

Yin Yoga is a peaceful, meditative form of yoga. It helps us connect with the most varied facets of our being, so that we can get in touch with ourselves again. Longer periods spent in selected, coordinated asanas (yoga poses) let the body, soul and spirit rest and harmonize. We work with essential oils from doTERRA to support the effects of the yoga session. All experience levels are welcome in this session!

Engage. Let go. Detox.

account_circleLisa Linzmaier

location_onLebensmittel. Kufstein

Facts!Toxins out, energy in. That’s how detox works.

Your body is the vehicle that takes you through your entire life, which is why you need to look after it. It functions like a complex machine. The liver, kidney and skin take care of detoxification, but even they have their limits. You have less energy or become more susceptible to illnesses, and become visibly less healthy. Detox can help generate new energy. There are a variety of options; the right one for you depends on your current condition.

At this fasting talk I discuss various methods, answer your questions and together we will find the right path for your individual fasting power programme.

Facts!Alchemy of Breath is a process of self-discovery that lets you experience inner healing and transformation through the amazing strength of your own breath. Special powerful breathing techniques let you get in touch with emotions and aspects of yourself that you weren’t previously aware of. These breathing sessions can have an effect on the body, soul and emotions, creating clarity and knowledge, filling us with inspiration, giving us the opportunity to relinquish control and experience moments of transformation both large and small. This practice has nothing to do with yogic Pranayama. An introduction, a short Prana Flow sequence and movement meditation are part of the session.

MATCHA & MOVE

account_circleLisa Klingler

location_onArmona medical alpinresort Thiersee

Facts!Matcha green tea has the same effect as yoga: Calming, focusing and balancing. Japanese Zen monks have used it for their spiritual meditation practice since the 12th century. While matcha releases its uplifting effect as a provider of beneficial natural compounds such as antioxidants and the substance L-theanine, the relaxing focus in yoga occurs through asanas, pranayama and meditation. In this workshop you learn how matcha can improve your health. You will also learn how to integrate a matcha ceremony into your everyday life to improve mindfulness. After the matcha ceremony we start with gentle sun salutations to shake off the remaining morning tiredness. Sun salutations are a sequence of exercises that are perfect to wake us up in the morning. The movements flow into each other, cleanse the body and free the spirit. Meditation, breathing and movement flow together and create a sense of balance. Experience the energy created and enjoy a special kind of dance! Start the day with new energy and freshness. This workshop is aimed at yogis of all levels, matcha lovers and newbies.

Air to breathe

account_circleMonika Egger

location_onBrentenjoch Kufstein

Facts!The platform at Brentenjoch in the Kaiser Mountains is one of the most beautiful places to do yoga. At an airy height of 1,200 meters we will obviously focus on the element of air (Vayu). Everything in the universe arises from the interaction of the five elements (Maha Bhutas) earth, fire, water, air and ether. Vayu means wind. The wind is invisible, but can still be sensed. We hear the wind, see how it bends branches, and feel its cool flow of air. All these sensations can be intensively experienced at this special power place. In light of this we will focus on our breathing and Prana, the vital energy that accompanies breath. Breath is the bridge between body and soul.

Pranayama exercises let us consciously experience our breathing. On a subtle, ethereal level we will engage with the Vayus (internal energy flows) and the asana practice will be specifically tailored to this topic with heart-opening and liberating exercises.

BECOMING BRAVE

account_circleLisa Klingler

location_onKurpark DAS SIEBEN Bad Häring

Facts!As an introduction to this session, our herbal expert Maria Bachmann starts with herb tastings that enhance inner strength.

She continues on with a yoga session in which you playfully explore arm balances. They let us try new things, challenge ourselves both physically and mentally, and allow us to develop different perspectives. In this yoga session we want to explore asanas that balance on our hands, play with shifting our weight, test or maybe even redefine our limits and, most importantly, have fun arm wrestling with gravity! Whether crow, firefly or flying pigeon pose, we try them all! Learn how to use your hands properly so that you can balance on them. Learn how to develop the strength to balance yourself on your hands, and also how to get yourself out of an arm balance easily and gracefully. It’s not about the perfect execution, it’s far more important that you have fun and try new things. We ignite the energy of our inner fire, feeling the courage, strength and assertiveness that we have within ourselves and letting it express itself. With both feet on the ground, strong arms, a keen, clear look at what’s important and unshakeable stability. Suitable for everyone who enjoys fun experimentation with challenging yoga exercises.

This holistic, dynamic and energetic Vinyasa session contains aspects and practices for all five elements – earth, water, fire, air and ether, as well as Kriya, Mudra Vinyasa, Mantra Sadhana and movement meditations. Because nature and therefore also the human body is made up of the Pancha Mahabhutas (5 elements), this elemental practice makes it possible to embody all the elements as well as to better understand ourselves and our body, our likes and dislikes, our strengths and weaknesses. This allows us to make more authentic, integrated decisions for our lives. The practice includes both powerful/dynamic and meditative/introspective aspects and is accompanied by live ambient sounds played by Sabine.

Die unmittelbare Erfahrung des Trommelns bringt dich in den Moment, du schulst deine Achtsamkeit und du erfährst deine Lebendigkeit im Klang der Trommel. Mit der Trommel kann man verschiedene Schichten des Unterbewusstseins ansprechen. Durch diesen Prozess können Gefühle und Gedanken an die Oberfläche kommen, die wir lange verdrängt hatten. Wenn sie auftauchen, ist das ein Zeichen dafür, dass sie uns verlassen. Ein Loslassprozess, der uns frei macht, für neue Erfahrungen.

THE SIMPLICITY OF ALIGNMENT

account_circleFlorian Reitlinger

location_onCulture quarter Kufstein, theatre

Facts!Far too rarely do we pay attention to the correct alignment of our asanas. Experience the fundamental principles of yoga asana alignment, far removed from complex guidelines that are unfortunately often ignored. One the one hand we focus on the alignment, stabilisation and integration of the joints, the “weak points” of our musculoskeletal system, and on the other hand on the overall understanding of our body in motion. When students and teachers understand these fundamental principles they become a guiding aspect of the overall asana practice.

Maiya Mala – the feeling of being alone and not attached, and how we regain the potential of love

account_circleBirgit Gauriananda

location_onCulture quarter Kufstein, hall

Facts!Have you ever felt completely alone in the world? That there’s nobody who really understands you? Does it feel like you’ve lost your connection with yourself, others and trust in the world? “Malas” are the veils that obscure our view of the world. Maiya Mala is one of these veils, and gives us the feeling of being separated from others and disconnected. Through Maiya Mala we start comparing ourselves to others, seeing them as competition, a danger or even an enemy. The emotion of jealousy or the feeling of needing to deal with our problems all on our own is the result. At the same time, Maiya Mala is also the force driving us to discover the world – letting us feel our own beauty and power through others. We experience this in moments where we feel particularly loved.

In these yoga classes we work to understand Maiya Mala, to cultivate it and use it as the driving force of our development instead of losing ourselves in it. You learn to become more aware of your connection with the world around you. And yes, that does mean being allowed to be vulnerable, but also experiencing the love of something new.

Facts!Cataleya Fay has toured Europe since 2012 with her wonderful songs. She effortlessly covers a wide musical range, from classic folk with plenty of soul, up the Irish coast and over the rolling hills of Scotland, to melodies from Indian ragas and magical medieval songs. Both moving and creative, the artist combines these elements into songs, chants and poems that are full of intensity and beauty. Cataleya Fay sings with a voice that will really get under your skin, about nature, mother earth, freedom and peace, as well as individuality, our society, courage, happiness and love. She manages all this without false sentimentality or a moralizing undertone. Instead she simply opens her heart to let the audience hear, feel and see her vision. The deep, emotional lyrics are the opposite of cynical – something that we don’t hear every day.

The various asanas (yoga poses) and pranayamas (breathing techniques) are performed standing, lying or sitting on a SUP board. Yoga exercises that are easy on a normal yoga mat can be a completely new experience and challenge when done on a SUP board. Despite this, SUP yoga can be practised by anyone, even if they have no prior experience or are not particularly sporty or flexible. Prerequisites: Enjoyment of being on and in the water. As always with yoga, it’s less important what it looks like or what acrobatic performances are possible and more about experiencing what it feels like to move within your capabilities in the situation, sense the limitations and feel comfortable with yourself. What makes SUP Yoga special is also its connection with nature, the calming effect of water, the gentle rocking of the waves, fresh air and the beauty of the natural surroundings.

Health can be contagious

account_circleMartina Egger

location_onCulture quarter Kufstein, theatre

Facts!Without movement, health is not possible in the long term, but if we give it the chance our body is an ingenious network. That’s why it’s important to understand the language of our body and increase our awareness so that we carefully go through life “with ourselves.” In this keynote presentation, Martina Egger talks about the approaches of two ancient healing systems – traditional Chinese medicine and yoga! The main focus of this keynote presentation is to make us aware of the effect that a rapid pace of life has on our health. We are almost constantly on the move and our system doesn’t get to relax – the consequence is stress on a cellular level. This leads to a lack of cell communication, digestive problems, sleep disorders, a state of exhaustion, depression, difficulties conceiving a child & chronic symptoms. This keynote presentation discusses and explains in an easily understood manner how we can holistically avoid this automation and what this has to do with our yoga practice.

Facts!Anandansa® combines western dance with eastern yoga. It also combines the modern biomechanics of Spirlaldynamik®, fascia research and contemporary yoga. It offers the opportunity to develop your experience of organic movement and inner expression. Exercises that are guided, sometimes more and sometimes less, let you strengthen your connection with your inner, creative personality. A clear awareness of our creative vitality is the basis for deep satisfaction, which in Sanskrit is called “ananda.” That’s where the name of this method comes from: Anandansa®.

In this course we will:
• Create an atmosphere that opens access to our creative self,
• Receive the guidance we need to find freedom in movement,
• Explore the dynamic connection between breathing, body and movement (“Pranifikation”),
• Roll up our mats and move bravely through the space,
• Experience the interplay between inner awareness and external expression.

Facts!Inside Flow is a Vinyasa flow choreography that is taught to the beat and is tailored specifically to a piece of music. But it’s also so much more! There’s nothing better than being fully immersed in the moment and moving to the music. At the same time, music creates a connection to your emotional world, which the power of yoga will make into a harmonious symbiosis of flowing movement, personal expression and authentic emotion. Come flow with us!
