Special Activity

The Power of Breath


Learn effective breathing techniques for stress reduction, energy replenishment and stabilization. The quality of breathing regulates many of the body's autonomous functions. With the help of specific breathing techniques you can release up to 75% of the body's toxins, while also stabilizing blood pressure, pH value and regulating the central nervous system. Good breathing also reduces stress hormones, stabilizes emotions, calms and provides better sleep.

Rajio Tasio Japanese Radio Gymnastic


Do as the Japanese, start the day with invigorating morning movements and Rajio Taiso! Every morning at 08.40, this radio gymnastics is broadcast on the radio in Japan. With the help of a Japanese radio DJ and your activity leader, you will be introduced to a series of fun and fast movements that get your body energized and ready for the day. A class filled with laughter and vitality that will stick with you throughout the entire day!

Restorative Yin Yoga


A restorative yoga where we calm the body and mind while we are softening the fascia, also called connective tissue. Each position is performed with a gentle stretch and held for at least 3-5 minutes, giving you time to calm your mind and sense your body. We work in silence and with great presence, focusing on the breath and with each exhalation we get a little deeper into the position. Our fascia that surrounds the body softens and our muscles can move more freely again. This in turn reduces stiffness and prevents injury.

Sound Healing


Relax to a guided meditation and the beneficial sounds/vibrations of different Tibetan singing bowls. During the whole session, you lie on a yoga mat on the floor, preferably with a blanket over you.

Zazen sitting meditation


This meditation based on Zen Buddhist tradition is an exercise for the mind, and for the body, that focuses on helping you be more present and attain more peacefulness and acceptance. You observe what is, within and outside yourself. Learn how to meditate in the zazen (the sitting meditation) and the kinhin (the walking meditation). The methods are simple in their form and you can advantageously continue your practice at home.

Cold Bath Intro in the Japanese bath


You've probably heard about the positive effects of taking a cold bath. During this session, you will learn more about your body's reaction during a cold bath and how to use your breath to deal with the cold more easily. The session begins with a short theoretical review and introduction to breathing techniques. After that you will practice your ability to withstand the cold in one of our cold springs which are 12-14 degrees. - A great introduction to cold bathing suitable for all the curious minds.

CUPPING OF THE FASCIA


A restorative class where you place Curam's static massage cups made of silicone on various parts of the body while resting in relaxing positions. A way to effectively release tension, increase flexibility, improve circulation by the “reverse massage” that the cups provide. Our network of connective tissue, also called fascia, is the body's largest organ, enclosing everything from muscles and bones, to organs and cells. When we keep the fascia elastic our muscles can move more freely, we become more flexible and experience less pain.

Activity of the Day


In this class, our well-trained activity guides share their expertise and favorite sessions with you. The activity is therefore different depending on day and season. An opportunity for you to perhaps take part in something completely new and make more room for serendipitous moments. Discover the activity of the day on all our digital information boards.

Sun Salutations


Sun salutations consist of two rounds of 12 classic yoga positions that we perform in a nice and easy flow. A nice form of exercise that stretches our muscles and joints. In addition to a positive impact on body and mind, we express our gratitude to the sun for sustaining life on this planet.

Do In & Qigong


The class starts with a good Do-In warm-up, where you bring muscles and blood vessels to life. We pat the body, press points and massage. The movements and pressure expand the blood vessels, activate the energy paths and stimulate the muscles and get the energy to flow in the body before the Qigong part. Qi gong is a method originating in the traditional Chinese healing art that works with the body's energy paths, meridians. Studies show that qi gong has a calming effect on stress. The movements increase body awareness, provide deeper breathing and better posture - a calmer nervous system, which provides better thinking skills and better immune defense.

Breathe Right & Sleep Tight


Learn the forgotten skill of breathing for a healthier life and how to affect the nervous system to settle down for a good night's sleep. We begin by learning basic breathing that balances the heart rate, stimulates our lungs and blood circulation as well as letting our autonomic nervous system function optimally. We will practice alternating nasal breathing (Nadi Shodana), which lowers the heart rate, blood pressure and stress level and has proven effective before bedtime. We finish with a breathing technique that puts the body in a deeply relaxed state.
