SUNCHILD YOGISWhy do we do what we do? The yoga immersion is deeply rooted in our lives and we continue discovering yoga like children do - with our own curiosity, lightheartedness and joy. We find beauty and unity in apparent opposites. Stability and ease, strength and smoothness, seriousness and childish joy. We share the same desires: finding our inner peace, meeting other beings with love and compassion and trying to be part of forming a world at peace. Seeing yoga in a holistic way is important to us. Practising asanas, meditation and pranayama raises our awareness and thus transforms our perception which eventually leads us to complete self-acceptance and equanimity in life. We practise and teach our asanas with sensitivity to our body 'ahimsa' and with contentment 'santosa'. It is no game of showing off or being ambitious but about finding our way back to ourselves and to nature, to deeply perceive and experience the interconnectedness of all. Nowadays we are often disconnected or ignore what our bodies tell us. Our bodies are truly intelligent and we need to re-learn how to listen to our body by developing a delicate sensitivity for signals and signs of our body. Ground, relax, breathe, play, experiment.. and find joy, openness and self-love! Yoga does not just take place on the mat. Often it is reduced to asanas, however yoga is tremendously more than that. It is a world view, an attitude and approach towards life. It is discovering and connecting with our true nature. |
INA
My name is Ina and I am a yoga teacher and potter based in Berlin. In my free time I love to dance. My yoga seed was planted more than 10 years ago when I joined a yoga class my mom went to. Since then I deepened my yoga practice on the mat as well as theoretically. I like passing on yoga knowledge and creating safe spaces in which people move, breathe, share experiences, exchange information and connect with each other.
My classes emphasize connecting body, mind and spirit by breathing mindfully and slowing down consciously. I like linking breath to movement for creating dynamic flowing as well as relaxing yoga practices. Also I focus on body sensitivity, flexibility sensations and appropriate alignment. |
