“People say that what we’re all seeking is a meaning for life. I don’t think that’s what we’re really seeking. I think that what we’re seeking is an experience of being alive, so that our life experiences on the purely physical plane will have resonances within our own innermost being and reality, so that we actually feel the rapture of being alive.” - Joseph Campbell

"Dropping into the sensuous present" (D. Abram), experiencing what it is like to really feel enraptured with life, joyous and blissful from a centred place of pure awareness. This is possible when we step away from the day to day and luxuriate in the timeless practices of yoga on and off the mat.
Due to the format, the programme (see below) and to ensure that we all feel safe and can adhere to any restrictions in place, the number of participants is limited to 10. I will have two assistants with me, who will make sure that all your needs are met.

Just Beyond Yourself by David Whyte
Just beyond yourself. It’s where you need to be. Half a step into self-forgetting and the rest restored by what you’ll meet. There is a road always beckoning. When you see the two sides of it closing together at that far horizon and deep in the foundations of your own heart at exactly the same time, that’s how you know it’s the road you have to follow. That’s how you know it’s where you have to go. That’s how you know you have to go. That’s how you know. Just beyond yourself, it’s where you need to be. |

Barbara Weißinger - Assistant
How do I draw strength? To face new challenges or to cope with daily tasks. Yoga is a path for me. A way inwards towards more peace, serenity and connection. No one is alone and in a community of like-minded people many things are possible. It is also a path through the body. Towards more flexibility, mindfulness and strength. As a yoga teacher and mindfulness trainer, I want to create connection - from the inside out. I look forward to the power of the place, the mountains, the people and good food. |
Anna-Lea Noichl - Assistant
For me, YOGA means not only to witness the union of light and shadow within and around us at any given moment, but to create a space to fully immerse in who we are, no matter the circumstances. Riding the waves of the ocean of LIFE here on earth can be pretty tough - and amazing, too. I‘m honoured to be a part of this journey and very looking forward to this intensive immersion time with you. As a physiotherapist and yoga teacher, the physical form is my realm. As a human being and emotional soul, uniting these aspects is my mission. |
