Workshop: Psoas Clinic
The psoas muscle is a central, deep muscle that is integral for our posture as well as our understanding of the bandhas. In this workshop we will go through the gross as well as subtle anatomy of the psoas before moving into deep releases and strategic ways of strengthening it. Let’s hydrate, balance, fortify, and demystify our beloved psoas muscle and learn some crucial tools for regular self-care.
Workshop: Breathing in the Spirit of Yoga
Breathing affects us on many levels, from our overall health to the health of specific organs and systems in the body. It also has a significant impact on our mental health, our mood, and overall sense of wellbeing.Unlike other Autonomic functions, the breath can be voluntary to an extended degree, and then used to shift our inner landscape, which is what yoga seekers discovered many centuries ago and developed a set of practices called pranayama. In this workshop we will do a deep dive into yoga's approach to breathing as a transformative practices.
All are welcome!

About the facilitators:
Oren: I have been a dedicated student and practitioner of yoga for almost two decades, teaching full time for more than 10 years. I have traveled all over the world to study and practice with some of the great yoga masters of our time and spent long stretches of time in India practicing intensively and deepening my understanding of yoga in all its facets. Teaching yoga is not just a job for me, it comes from a passionate commitment to sharing the insights I discovered in my own practice and years of contemplation with the intention of being of service for those who wish to fulfill their full potential to live a good life (what is a good life..? That is to be discovered from practicing and studying yoga). My style of teaching is gentle, kind and caring. My approach is non-dogmatic, open-minded, based on yoga being adapted to the individual’s needs and capacities and not the other way around. I try to guide people in a process of self-inquiry in which they arrive at their own insights instead of being told how they should feel.
Mina: Mina has been practicing yoga since 2009 and teaching since 2013. Her style is informed by her dance background, the voice of the earth as well as the encounter with each and every student. Mina links breath and movement in mindful, heart-warming and empowering ways. Her passion is to create a space in which the students can learn to access their own inner wisdom. She is a E-RYT 500 as well as a certified meditation and mindfulness teacher. In 2016 she opened her own studio in Dakar Senegal, and is teaching in Berlin since 2019. Mina has completed numerous yoga workshops with renowned yoga teachers such as Meghan Currie, Elena Brower, Kali Ray and Cyndi Lee. She is also a certified Yoga Therapist with The Yoga Therapy Institute in the Netherlands.
