Opening ceremony & practical information about the festival.

Finding Balance: Tthe divine dance of Shiva & Shakti.
All levels Hatha Yoga to arrive to the festival in balance

Kirtan + campfire

To become a sage of life one must go into the tight spots and look from new perspectives. This class will explore the poses inspired by the great sages of the yoga practice. We will take the form of the sages in far out arm balances and detoxing twist.

Dinner

Come and flow with me during the festival, we’ll be practicing a gentle flow to prepare your body for a full day of yoga! See you there!

Find your balance, learn to fly and catch a buzz off the bees. In this class we will explore all the poses that come to us in yoga as inspired by the forest  dwellers and sky flyers and practice making honey with the breath of the bees. All level of practitioner is welcome and there will be variations given when needed.

Remove toxins and rejuvenate your body, mind and spirit as you transit from summer to autumn 

This class  is designed to build up heat and release toxins, which might have accumulated over time, from your body. In addition to a dynamic yoga practice full of energizing breathing techniques and basic body cleansing techniques (Kriyas) you will also be introduced to valuable nutritional advice and to plenty of mindfood, just right before lunchtime!

In this class two of the most popular and influential German yoga teachers Andrea “Qbi”Kubasch
and Dirk Bennewitz will offer an exquisite blend of learning how to merge the masculine and feminine interpretation
of POWER YOGA.
Within this workhop we will be talking a lot – maybe even mostly about – our mental state, our intentions and
attitudes, our constant endeavor to stop feeding the qualities that hold us back and keep us down.
What separates a physical yoga practice mostly from all other exercises, is not the movements, it is the
awareness.
We will progress and evolve from Vinyasa to integrated alignment,from chanting to silence, from pranayama to
pratyahara and from philosophy to meditation, creating a profound experience which will move from the gross
to the subtle.
This practice enables us to refine our attention and begin  to dissolve the illusion of boundary between male and female, between
us and the world.
The result is joy, selfless service in all of our relationships, beginning with our relationship to self.
All Levels.

Whenever you feel joy, it comes from change. Ending what is old is the
beginning of something new. Renewal pulses through the universe like the
beat of a song. Shiva is the dancer who shakes everything up, who throws his
destructive lightning bolt unto the earth, evaporating the past so the
future can unfold. Let Elsie, one of Belgium’s most seasoned Yoga
instructors, guide you through intelligently sequenced vinyasas. You
practice yoga at a dance-like pace, following the rhythm of the breath which
gradually opens the body and lightens up the mind.
In this signature vinyasa class, Elsie’s elegant skill will provide the
right capacity for forward folds, twists, backbends and inversions.
Surrender to the moment and let a shiva-shakti energy flow through you!

The workshops that Gösta of SvahaYoga will teach are based on the legacy of Hanuman, the monkey God of the epic story of the Ramayana.
The workshops will focus on Hanuman related postures. The workshops might be supported by live rapping of the Hanuman Chaleesa. These workshops are NOT for beginners.

Gaby will present the wonderful organisation that is called: Off the Mat & Into the World!

Kirtan + Party

A flowing class in which we implement all principles of Anusara yoga

Pratyahara Vinyasa: Going Inwards to Have Deeper Connection Outwards.
An All levels VInyasa Class with personal experiences for richer living

Use yoga to prevent and heal injuries

This class is based around the theme of Ganesha. Ganesha is an elephant-headed deity whose divine job it is to place and remove obstacles in our lives.

In this workshop we will explore in detail the different stages of  ‘a vinyasa’, the specific sequence of postures you will encounter so often in any type of flowing yoga class. I sometimes walk into classes, even advanced classes, and see people struggle with the transition between Chaturanga Dandasana (Low Plank / 4 Limbed Staff Pose) and Urdva Mukha Svanasana (Upward Facing Dog Pose). Come to this class and become clear about how deep you can go into Chaturanga without hurting your shoulders and wrists, how to roll over your toes and still be perfectly aligned for Urdva Mukha Svanasana, without feeling it in your lower back. And then, thank God for the much undervalued ‘coming down all the way to the belly and perform a Baby Cobra’!

For those of you who know Nina, it will come as no surprise that she will lead you to where the familiar touches the unexpected.
For those of you who don’t: prepare to meet a teacher who loves to take it as it comes. With a twist, and an even bigger smile.

The title of this one says it all. This class will open you to the possibility of going places you may have never gone before. See you there.

Dive into the deep blue sea called Yoga.Experience its voluptuous waters and its soothing sounds. Ride its tempestuous waves and rest on its welcoming shores.Listen to the breath of its magnificent tides
and surrender to whatever it has to say. Immerse yourself into every aspect of this powerful practice, and feel the benefits of a unique blend of movement and sound. We’re bringing beats to the bends, tunes to the twists and music to the mat.

During this workshop different kinds of Yoga (ranging from dynamic Vinyasa to the more inward Yin) will flow to the sounds of sacred songs. And for this we proudly present the finest of the fine: Rui Salgoda (bansuri, rhythm, vocal,double base), Frederik Meulyzer (percussion), Luc Acke (guitar, vocal, harmonium), Jason Kalidas (Tabla, Bansuri, Harmonium). Prepare to feel what it’s like to be 100% (a)live.

Tuning in with Kaphalabati Pranayama to settle in and prepare mind and
core for a well rounded intermediate class taking us through some
heating sun salutations (surya namaskar) followed by a flow of
standing and balancing poses (vrksasana, garudasana and vasistasana
variations). We’ll be flowing through twists, turns, forward folds, armbalances
and backbends. There will be time at the end to do your own finishing
postures (i.e. inversions) followed by a smooth and cooling Nadi
Shodhana pranayama preparing us for a sweet relaxation in Savasana.
