Reconnect with nature through an immersive yoga experience in the forest with @magalilehners and @sophie_billon_yoga.

This unique class combines the physical postures of asana, the breath control of pranayama, and the tranquility of meditation to help you achieve a peaceful state of mind. Surrounded by the sights, sounds, and scents of the natural world, you’ll feel a sense of freedom and rejuvenation as you strengthen your body and calm your mind.

Class Highlights ✨

🍃 Nature Connection: The serene forest environment helps you reconnect with nature, reducing stress and promoting a sense of well-being. The Japanese practice of shinrin-yoku, or ‘forest bathing,’ has been shown to lower stress hormones, and combining this with yoga enhances these benefits.

🌳 Grounding Experience: Fresh air, the sounds of birds and insects, and the feel of the earth beneath your feet bring you into the present moment. This grounding experience not only clears your mind but also fosters a deeper commitment to environmental preservation.

🦋 Holistic Wellness: Stepping away from screens, moving your body, and soaking up natural sunlight are powerful ways to reduce anxiety and improve your overall perspective. Practicing yoga outdoors ticks all these boxes, offering a holistic approach to wellness.

Location: Bambesch Parking Laftreff / Bring your own mat!

In this workshop, we explore the holistic language of Ayurveda and its timeless wisdom, discovering how it can support us in everyday life. Ayurveda invites us to be connected to our own nature and the world around us.

Open to everyone, this workshop offers a simple and experiential introduction to Ayurveda, inviting a deeper understanding of your own constitution, as well as the rhythms and habits that shape your life.

An dësem Workshop verbanne mir d’Technike vum ProAgeYoga mat Meditatioun. De ProAgeYoga, gegrënnt 2019 vum Elena Lustig, soll eis hëllefen, de Kierper an de Geescht bewosst am Wandel vun der Zäit ze ënnerstëtzen. Sou wei mir eis veränneren, sou ännert sech och eis Yogapraxis, besonnesch d’Ausübe vun Asanas – hei gëtt de Fokus op schounend an alternativ Pose geluecht, wat d’Gelenker schütze soll a besonnesch bei Verletzungen oder Aschränkungen hëllefräich ka sinn. Innerhalb vun enger fléissender Sequenz, déi jidderee sengem Kierper a Gefill no ausféiere kann, erméiglecht eng ProAgeYoga-Stonn, sech nees nei ze verbanne mat deem wat do ass, ouni sech op déi äusserlech Form vun der Praxis ze fixéieren.

Eng grouss Roll spillen hei och Pranayama (Otemübungen) an Dhyana (Meditatioun). Am Mëttelpunkt stinn d’Stressreduktioun sou wéi en entspaanten Ëmgang mat Verännerung. Dës Aspekter hëllefen de Nervesystem ze berouegen, Energie opzebauen an e positiivt Selbstbild ze kréien.

Jiddereen – onofhängeg vun Alter an Erfarung – ass wëllkomm. De Workshop ass op Lëtzebuergesch.

Präiss 40€

Master Class on Twisting & Core (50€)

This workshop will blend twisting poses with intelligent core work to build strength, stability, and fluidity along the spine.  You will awaken your core while supporting the muscles that support your posture and ring out toxicity in your bodies and mind. The result is a calmer, more stable energy that creates a space for a quieting pranayama practice at the end.

This workshop will include standing and seated twists with targeted core activation. This workshop is for practitioners wanting to strengthen their core and understand how to twist safely and supported. Twisting postures can build strength from the inside out while keeping the body supported, open, and transformed!

Saturday 10th: 13:30 – 16:30

Unraveling the neck and shoulders and quieting our nervous system (90€)

Our necks are designed for movement and to look around at our  environment, however, because of their flexibility, it is common for deep tension to be stored in this region. Our shoulder girdle helps to support our neck and when this area awakens it can unlock deep tension and bring balance to the entire body. This workshop will gently unravel tension in the neck and shoulders while guiding the nervous system towards a quieter and more settled state. Through slow mindful movement and supportive poses, you will release habitual holding patterns and reconnect with a sense of ease and steadiness.  You will leave feeling lighter, calmer, and more regulated in your nervous system through the use of asana and restorative yoga.

Special price for full Saturday: 120€

Sunday 11th: 10:00 – 12:00

Master Class Unraveling our Psoas (50€)

Our psoas is known as the “Seat of Our Soul” and sits in the core of our body, connecting the upper half of our body to the lower half. This muscle is both a physical stabilizer and messenger of the nervous system. When it is centered and balanced, we move in a more centered and fluid way. This practice will emphasize a gradual release through a slow supportive practice that will help guide you towards releasing held tension in this region while cultivating a sense of stability and groundness. If you have tight hips, lower back discomfort, or postural strain, this healing practice can help you find balance and ease!

Sunday 11th: 13:30 – 16:30

The Spine and approaching backbends in a safe and supported way (90€)

This spine is a dynamic intelligent structure and offers a clear supportive pathway towards safe backbending. Through the use of alignment cues, working with props, and sequencing, students will learn how to create spinal mobility and strength while approaching backbends with confidence and ease. You will learn the importance of balancing your spinal curves and the use of your “wheels”,  which help to protect the vulnerable parts of your back. We will work into more advanced backbends in a safe and progressive way, helping you to understand how to access these challenging and invigorating poses. Backbends can offer a great sense of spaciousness when approached in a supported and grounded way and leave you  feeling opened and transformed.

Special price for full Sunday: 120€
