The Alexander Technique (AT) that was developed in the 1890s by Frederick Matthias Alexander from Australia, “is an educational process that helps you recognize and stop your unnecessary muscular and mental tension. ” (Wikipedia)

The Workshop will start with a short introduction to this amazing technique. Andrea Bruno, certified Alexander Technique teacher will then help us experience our everyday simple movements without the interfering habits we have established over the years. Often these physical habits are not useful and act as interference to the natural fluid movement we had when we were young. Often it leaves us in and with pain. The last part of the workshop will focus on two selected yoga poses and how to incorporate this new easier, more fluid movement into your practice.

Andrea Bruno: “I’m a certified teacher of the Alexander Technique, a master of Reiki and Chios Energy and have been practicing Yoga and Mediation for over 40 years. I enjoy working with people who are interested in learning about themselves and are ready to participate in their own healing. If you’ve tried other modalities to relieve your pain unsuccessfully, you are interested in learning how you can take charge and live a less stressful life, I can help you.” Pre-registeration required (katrin@katrineliayoga.com)

….particular recommended for students with pain & chronic pain, injuries…and for the one’s who want to learn about their posture and habits…

Hormone Yoga Therapy (HYT), invented by Dinah Rodrigues, is a holistic form of yoga that offers a natural alternative approach. Its focus is to reactivate the hormone production through a designed sequence of yoga postures (asana), specific breathing exercises (pranayama), Tibetan energy technique, and yoga nidra (visualization during meditation). Disagreeable Symptoms during menopause such as hot flashes, insomnia, depression, headache, tiredness, hair loss, migraine, emotional instability, and many others are indicators that the hormone level in a woman’s body is low and needs to be increased. Results show as well that HYT also helps in preventing osteoporosis, cardiovascular diseases, and assists in infertility, peri-menopausal symptoms, stress, and panic symptoms.
