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.

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.
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.
Five repetitive exercises also known as "The Five Rites of Rejuvenation" if performed daily. The exercises are over 2000 years old and originate from Tibetan monks. The rites are aimed at keeping the whole body and mind in youthful shape. They are simple in form and increase physical strength and resilience as well as mental sharpness while dissolving blockages so that life energy, Ki, can flow freely and set its healing forces in motion.
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.
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.
Welcome to try one of the most popular Qigong methods from China. An almost 1000 years old method consisting of a series of 8 simple repetitive exercises - for beginners as well as experienced Qigong practitioners. Each of the 8 movements works with our energy flow called Ki, which flows through our meridians and affects our mental and physical health.

What can we learn from our closest relatives when it comes to mindfulness and healing? Brazilian-Swedish photographer Juliana Wolf Garcindo presents her visual and philosophical reflections from her latest journey in Japan.

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.
Here you will get to try two different techniques that originate in the Zen Buddhist tradition. These are exercises in presence and observing what is, inside and outside yourself. The session begins with a short introduction, then you will learn how to sit in zazen, zen meditation and what form the walking meditation, kinhin, has. After sitting in the still, silent meditation for a while, the group gets up and performs a silent walking meditation and then ends with a moment of sitting again. The focus is on breathing and posture. The methods are simple in their outward form and you can easily continue to practice at home. .
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.
Yinyoga is a restorative and therapeutic style of yoga that is about calming the body and mind. Yin yoga is positions with a light, soft stretch, performed in silence and with great presence. Each position is held for at least 3-5 minutes, which gives you time to calm your mind and feel your body. Here we work with the body's fascia, connective tissue, more than the muscles. This is achieved by going sufficiently far into the position and holding it for a longer time. The focus is often on the hips and lower back, areas rich in connective tissue and which, according to yoga philosophy, store both physical and emotional tension. During the session, cupping is also used, where you place silicone cups on different parts of the body for 3-5 minutes. A good way to increase blood circulation in tense muscles and further soften the connective tissue on tense parts of the body.
