3. YOGA RETREAT.

Basic Yoga Classes Surf Camp Hostel.

When you awaken and align your body’s underlying energy, you activate your innate process of healing and transformation. In this training we will demystify how energy affects everything you do and feel—and show you how to work with your body and your mind. You will learn simple principles, tools, and practices that balance your subtle body—which is how physical, emotional and spiritual healing begins—so you can build vitality, unravel energetic blockages, and boost your immunity.

We will practice yin yoga sequences according to physical or emotional issues where the alternative medicine aspect of Daoism offers the opportunity to deep healing and profound transformation.

In Yin yoga as well as in Yoga Nidra and Reiki we are exploring the concepts of surrender and release while we are opening up to guidance from beyond. Making our way through layer upon layer of habitual holding patterns of emotional history deep inside our tissues, muscles and cells. Releasing emotional tension, freeing stagnant or blocked energy.
