Body, mind and emotions are connected. How you feel is reflected in both what you think and how you stand. At the same time, the posture will affect both the emotional and mental. This retreat focuses on body, mind and emotions and how to use the practice of yoga to manage postural imbalances as well as mental and emotional stress.

There are many different types of stress that manifest in different ways in the body. There is therefore no universal tool for managing stress. This is a varied retreat with both calm and medium-level classes. You will learn how to find safety, peace and stability in the body, how to release stress, ground yourself, connect with yourself, be present in the heart, open up both the body and the heart and much more. In other words, how to use the body to find balance in life.

For Whom Is This Retreat?

The retreat is suitable for both experienced practitioners who want to learn something new and those who consider themselves rigid, who find it difficult to progress in their yoga practice. There will be a lot of focus on technique, how to use the breath as a tool to stabilize as well as calm down, tools to be present here and now (even for those who are usually easily distracted), how to meditate for those who find it difficult to find peace and how to soften even the stiffest bodies. It's a good place to start, but also a good place to progress your practice if you're stuck and need to go deeper into your body to move forward.

If you have imbalances in your posture, it can be difficult to do many of the yoga poses. For example, you may be hunched over at the top of your back or tilt your pelvis forward. Rather than changing the way you move, you often bring the imbalances into the positions you do. This makes it difficult to correct the musculoskeletal system. So you have to go deeper. In the workshops, the focus is on technique - how to use the breath to find stability in the body, interrupt compensatory patterns and learn to move in a more functional way to get deeper into the yoga positions. In addition, a change in posture will result in a change in how you feel in your body and emotionally.

The yoga classes will be calm to medium-level vinyasa classes, where the focus is on reprogramming the musculoskeletal system and down-regulating the nervous system, connecting with oneself and softening up. There will also be calmer classes with elements of restorative yoga. It also draws on mindfulness and somatics.

About Kaja

I started practicing yoga when I was about 14 years old. At that time I had major imbalances in my body, such as hyperlordosis, scoliosis and forward tilted pelvis. Yoga helped me feel more comfortable in my body, but after practicing for many years, I noticed that I was stagnating in my practice and getting more pain in my body. I started to learn more about the musculoskeletal system and how stabilization helps to move in a better way, which also helps to become softer.

I found that I also needed to work with the nervous system to calm stress as imbalances in the musculoskeletal system are often related to what is happening mentally and emotionally. I've worked as a yoga teacher for over seven years, teaching yoga for the back, neck and shoulders, Ashtanga Yoga, Yin Yoga and Vinyasa Yoga.
