Further planned dates 2024-25
The workshop series is designed to cover all the important areas of asana and pranayama practice. It is also designed to encourage reflection on the qualities and techniques needed to teach these postures effectively and to support and guide your students properly.
When planning, I had the scheduled exam dates in mind, usually in March or April of each year. However, taking the exam on a specific date is not necessary and is not "expected". You are welcome to take part even if you don't want to be certified.
- I - January 31 - February 2, 2025
- II - May 9-11, 2025
- III - July 18-20, 2025
- IV - October 17-19, 2025
- A possible additional workshop on site in Munich (bilingual English/German) can be offered: "Teaching the Level-2 Syllabus" March 28-30, 2025. Details later ...
- A similar program could be proposed for 2026, we'll see ...
Focus of the planned dates: Quality, stamina and understanding in the practice of standing postures and inversion postures; communication and effective teaching. Special focus in the individual workshops:
- I: Uttitha standing postures and forward stretches
- II: Sitting, twisting, prone and inversion postures
- III: Backward stretches, parivrtta standing postures and special sequences
- IV: Regenerative work and pranayama; teaching techniques
Reflection:
The guidelines for efficient and effective work in asana and pranayama practice require patient, intensive and intelligent effort as well as introspection and reflection. Level-1 work focuses on the movements of the body and learning the correct structure and alignment of the postures (ACTION). Level-2 concentrates on SENSITIVITY in practice. We learn to feel the body in the postures and use this internal feedback to refine and stabilize. With this refined awareness, we can begin to analyze and safely practice the more complex and challenging postures of the curriculum. This program concludes with Level-3. Based on the work in Level-1 (Action) and Level-2 (Sensitivity), we can approach PERCEPTIVITY (= grasping through imagination and senses**): We use the mind to distinguish and balance our felt energies in practice. Finding and internalizing the physical keys to a correct and effective practice, feeling the body more and more subtly in the process, and finally establishing a practice and lifestyle that nourishes our inner essence and our ability to love and nurture our environment and our fellow human beings - these are the goals.
…
Phew ... that's quite a chunk.
Even if we want to practice and think intensively, humor and sociability are important qualities in dealing with each other and must also be practiced. I think we can have a good time together and hope you can join us!😊 Michael and Margarete

The seminar takes place in presence and also online instead. You can decide for yourself - even at short notice - whether you prefer to practice in the studio or at home!
Access to the recording for rehearsal is available for 30 days as part of the booking.
