Each day is opened with morning yoga and breathwork, designed to get you opened to a new day, with renewed energy. This Hatha / Vinyasa yoga class leaves you feeling energized with a clear mind.
The mindfulness workshops start around midday. During the workshops, you discover techniques which helps you to train your ability to be present and mindful, gradually getting in touch with the practices and principles of mindfulness.
All together as a group, you experience the importance of being able to listen, feel, and face yourselves. You learn the difference between action and re-action, providing you with the opportunity of consciously choosing, freeing you from the chains of re-action.
Living mindfully means improving your everyday life, your relationships with others and yourselves, and be free from conditioned behaviors.
In the evenings, you have a relaxing movingness-class (somatic movement technique) to activate the parasympathetic nervous system. In the class, you go into a deep state of relaxation, and move slowly, finding enjoyment in movement, sensing yourselves from within and creating a strong connection with your bodies to feel at home in yourselves. The practice gives you tools to embody peacefulness, move in awareness, and to let go of tension in your mind and body.
Each day is closed with a cozy evening circle by fire, where you share the insights of the day. All the activities happen in Ashuma’s light and spacious hall, with comfortable wooden floor and all the necessary equipment.
In between sessions, you can take time for yourself and reflect, hang around in Ashuma’s lounge area, or even go for a little hike! All activities are voluntarily, and you can always take more free time for yourself if you feel like.
