We will start the day with:
Iyengar inspired yoga 8 - 9.15am
Iyengar Yoga is oriented towards gradual but steady progress, rather than quick and fleeting results. By paying close attention to anatomical details and the alignment of each posture, Iyengar Yoga is the practice of precision & very therapeutic!
What can you expect from this practice?
- Through unique sequences each day I will safely & systematically help you to progress during this week
- You will feel strong in your body, uplifted & refreshed!
A tea break 9.15 - 9.30am
Meditation/ breath practice 9.30 - 10am
What can you expect from this practice?
(1) We will ease in with active meditation techniques to prepare the body & mind for the passive part of "non doing".
(2) This will be followed by a breath work practice which will help you to bring attention to your own breathing habits & give you the opportunity to improve your own breathing!
Optimized breathing can help you to:
- gain more energy in your daily life
- manage better stress in daily situations
- optimize your sports performances
- manage & improve a variety of conditions, including asthma, anxiety, and sleep
(3) Ending with Savasana Meditation. Which will "seal" the practice, leaving you calm & relaxed!
This morning practice will be followed by a delicious breakfast at 10 am & an outdoor "digestive dance party" at 11 am.
A truly enriching, enlightening & transformative program!

Breakfast will be served at 10am on the terrace after we are done with the whole morning program. This later breakfast time will create a "fasting gap" (approx. 14 hr) between the last meal from the day before & the first one in the morning. Having a longer break between those two meals (intermittent fasting) plus starting the day with physical activity may:
- Boost your metabolism
- Increase Fat Burning

- Help with Cellular Regeneration
After the breakfast there will be additionally a daily dance party 1 hr on the terrace to continue the day with fun, healing movement & to boost our digestive process in a gentle & fun way!
