- Experiential Breath and Breath Hands On

The focus of this miniworkshop is on becoming aware of your own effortlessly flowing breath. To this end, we will approach the fascination of our own breathing process both with breath and movement in the group and in a hands-on setting on the couch in a breathing dialogue.

This way of engaging with the breathing process is beneficial, regenerative and at the same time revitalising and goes beyond the idea that you have to ‘train’ your breath. In the ‘experiential’ breath (according to Prof Ilse Middendorf), deep calm, serenity and alert vitality can develop. Beyond the idea of active influence, the breath is always already there and is a continuous source of communication.

The workshop is ideal for getting to know the method and for anyone interested in breathing. It provides yoga teachers in particular with a good insight into different types of unguided breathing and explores how these interact with pranayama techniques.
