ALEXANDRA COLOMBO
Is an Advanced Certified Jivamukti Teacher from Luxembourg.
Her yoga journey started during her pregnancy, in 2007. She was amazed at how tyoga was giving her the ability to grow into a more compassionate, strong and balanced human being. It seemed natural that the next step would be to share her passion with others, so with this in mind I enrolled in a 100H Anusara Immersion course in Bruxelles, under the guidance of Jayendra Hanley. In 2014 she stepped out of the world of business to become a Jivamukti Yoga Teacher. She completed her 300 hour Jivamukti Teacher Training in India in early 2015. In September 2016 she co-founded Yoga Palais. In March 2019 she co-founded Jivamukti Yoga Luxembourg, the first official Jivamukti center in Luxembourg. She became an advanced certified Jivamukti Yoga teacher in 2019.
MAGALI LEHNERS
Is an Advanced Certified Jivamukti Teacher from Luxembourg.
Since 2007 she worked in Jivamukti Yoga Centers in Munich as an 800 hours certified Jivamukti Yoga teacher and became an advanced certified Jivamukti Yoga teacher in 2016. Beside that she took an Ashtanga teacher training course with David Swenson, a Sivananda Teacher Training in the Himalayas and a Kidsyoga teacher training with Thomas Bannenberg. Furthermore, she has taken part in workshops and retreats all over the world and served as a mentor in the 2018 Jivamukti Teacher Training in Germany.
Aside from her work as a yoga teacher she studied geography, sociology and ethnology and did a PhD in Urbanism at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität in Munich.
In 2014 she became co-founder of Dancing Kala Yoga in Luxembourg and Yoga Palais in 2016. In March 2019 she co-founded Jivamukti Yoga Luxembourg, the first official Jivamukti center in Luxembourg.
SALENTO
SALENTO is that portion of Italian land where the West meets the East, point of
fusion among ancient civilizations of the Medi- terranean; an earth to be discovered, kissed by the sun and by a crystalline sea. Salento is a coffer rich of inestimable treasures: medieval white stone villages built perpendicularly to the sea, innumerable evidences of ancient civiliza- tion, country churches, Romanesque Cathe- drals, monumental Basilicas, »federician« castles, archaeological areas (dolmen, menhir), uncontaminated oases, millenary olive groves, park and sea reserves, splendid carsic caves, suggestive and unique »Trulli« houses, the Baroque art, sacred and pagan rites, local fairs, feasts, perfumes and tastes and the deli- ciousness of an authentic and genuine kitchen.
»Yoga in Salento«, our location, is immersed in the magical beauty and nature of Salento where the sun is strong, the coastline is wild, the sea is crystal clear and the traditional local Pizzica music & dance are contagious.
LOCATION: YOGA IN SALENTO – AGRICOLA SAMADHI (www.yogainsalento.com)
Agricola Samadhi is a last generation organic farmhouse located in southern Puglia in the heart of Salento in the Grecia Salentina countryside right in the heart of Zollino, just a few steps from the quaint country train station.
Immersed in the fascinating and authentic atmosphere of Puglia, the Agricola Samadhi farmhouse enjoys a strategic location to dis- cover Salento, just 10 minutes from Lecce and 20 minutes from the most beautiful beaches on the Ionic and Adriatic Seas.
The rooms are located on the large estate, divided into three apartments and the main building with a portico that was completed in July 2011 that overlook the antique villa.
Agricola Samadhi is mixing tradition and innovation both with its offerings and form: two elegant antique buildings from the early 20th century are near recently renovated buildings, surrounded by a green park, immersed in the sound of the wind between the magnificent fronds of the palms and the song of the birds and the hum of the cicadas.
Decide whether to relax along the edge of our large, fresh pool, enjoy an Ayurvedic treatment, a Thai or Shiatzu massage, enjoy the wind caressing the fronds of the palms as you relax in a hammock, walk the 10 hectares of the property or go discover Salento: there’s time for nature walks, artistic excursions, trekking, bicycle tours, horseback riding and sails!

Sound Through the Chakras – A Workshop Series: THE HEART with Federica Faber
(45€)
Join the Alchemy Crystal Singing Bowls and Federica, Reiki Master teacher and sound therapist, for this fourth workshop in the chakra balancing series. Over the coming months, we will go on a musical journey to release, heal, balance and strengthen each chakra. Each workshop will focus on a specific chakra and we will explore what it means to have this energy center in balance. The magical vibrations of the Singing Bowls will help support us, along with guided meditations, and energy exercises.
THE HEART
This fourth workshop continues our upwards chakra journey, focusing on the heart, Anahata, chakra.
After having learned about the importance of boundaries, personal power and identity with the solar plexus chakra, we are going to learn about the importance of forgiveness, the biggest strength of the heart chakra. Once we learn the power of forgiveness, we live from a place of limitless love, compassion and understanding. This, is our strongest and first connection to the Divine.
By allowing ourselves to open our hearts, we fight off loneliness, unhappiness and the inability to be vulnerable and to receive love. By letting go of grudges we allow ourselves to live more in our hearts and less in our heads.
Ruled by the element of air, an open heart chakra can help us understand that love is limitless, like air, so we are less fearful of who we share it with. The heart chakra is the bridge-way between the physical and the spiritual, between the earth and the heavens.
An unbalanced heart chakra leads to physical problems such as low/high blood pressure, heart palpitations, poor circulation, and a lower immune system. On the emotional side, it leads us to a lack of empathy/ compassion, difficulty trusting others, sense of grief and loss, inability to let go of the past, and attracting/ getting trapped in toxic relationships.
This workshop will reconnect you to unlimitness divine love and help you heal from past hurts. Learn how to welcome forgiveness and feel surrounded by love. Together, we will try and make your body feel more supported and safe and at the same time, bring it any needed healing.
Price: 45€

Workshop:
Jivamukti Open with Conor Byrnes from Paris
Friday 21/04/2023: 18:30-20:00 (25€)
Whether you’re a beginner, deciphering the difference between vrksasana (tree) and sirshasana (heads advanced yogi who can put both feet behind their head, the Jivamukti Open class welcomes you, as it practitioners of all levels.
You work at your own pace, following the teacher’s verbal as well as hands-on guidance. Asana options will be provided for beginners, intermediate and advanced students. A typical Open class incorporates the five tenets of Jivamukti Yoga: shastra (scripture), bhakti (devotion), ahimsa (kindness), nada (music) and dhyana (meditation) by presenting classical yoga teachings as relevant to one’s life on and off the mat, drawn from the Focus of the Month essay, supported by chanting, breath awareness, flowing vinyasa sequences, alignment exploration, hands-on assistance, relaxation and meditation. All Open classes include 14 points: asanas, meditation and spiritual teachings- in a sequence creatively designed by the teacher. The class is called »Open« because it is open and suitable to all levels of practitioner. Even so, beginning level students should know that there will not be much detailed »how to do« descriptions; for that a student is advised to attend a Basic class.
