Claudia Garati grew up in Switzerland but always liked to see the world. Some twenty years ago she first experienced Hatha Yoga and was completely intrigued and under its spell. After moving to New York in 2005 she started her yogic adventure…  During the following two years she finished her 500-hour Yoga Alliance Teacher Training with YogaWorks in New York (current level: E-RYT500® and YACEP®).

She deepened her knowledge with teachers such as Alan Finger, Mark Whitwell, Bridget Shields as well as Sara Tirner (Restorative Yoga) in order to be able to teach a yoga tailor-made to the individual. During her second stay in Asia (2016-2019) she discovered Universal Yoga with Andrey Lappa and Yoga Nidra with Uma Dinsmore-Tuli. She is a registered ‘Certified Yogalehrerin YCH’ as well as ‘Komplementär Therapeutin Methode Yoga Therapie’.

Yoga means both statics and dynamics, which are energetically in balance. In her classes Claudia focuses on proper, individual alignment to guarantee both safety and freedom in body and mind. Her aim as a teacher is to allow students to find their breath and consequently become present in each asana and in the moment, i.e. bringing the benefits of yoga on the mat and into everyone’s life.

Through yoga, Sascha Delberg has found a path he deeply trusts, one that nourishes, soothes, and challenges him on many levels. This path supports his self-reflection, grows with him, and continuously evolves.

He feels fortunate to have learned from many respected teachers over an extended period, and to have assisted some of them. He has been a long-time student of Richard Freeman and Mary Taylor, who, at the right time, satisfied his hunger for a deeper understanding of yoga and nurtured it for over a decade.

Sascha studied pranayama personally with various teachers, including O.P. Tiwari, Paul Dallaghan and Richard Freeman. His understanding has grown through his own practice and teaching others. Pranayama leaves him with a calm and contented mind and a sense of clarity.

He is deeply inspired by his meditation teachers Stephen Batchelor and Martine Batchelor, who have helped him gain a better perspective on his inner workings. Over the past 20 years, he has attended numerous meditation retreats across various traditions, some lasting up to a month.

Since 2017, he has immersed himself in yoga therapy and continues to draw inspiration from Doug Keller, whose approach has enriched his teaching.

Sascha’s classes combine Ashtanga elements with a deep focus on breath, therapeutic techniques, and a good dose of humor. His passion comes alive in Mysore-style sessions, where he supports students individually and guides them on their unique yoga journeys.

Together with his wife Romana, Sascha co-directs the Yogawerkstatt in Vienna. He teaches in yoga teacher trainings and workshops locally and internationally. After more than 20 years, his joy in teaching yoga is stronger than ever – a testament to the fulfillment yoga brings as both a practice and a way of life.

In 2002, Manuela Peverelli got in touch with Yoga for the first time and was immediately fascinated by the art of embodied presence.

She grew up in Zurich, where she completed her first teacher training in 2008. She then lived in Asia for some years, where she fully dedicated her time to the study of Yoga. In 2012, Zurich became her home base again and she spent the winter months in Asia to deepen her own practice and teach retreats. Silent times in Vipassana and Metta retreats as well as time in Yoga ashrams were equally important to her. 
In 2023, she completed a three-year education in Buddhist Psychotherapy in Germany. She is still a searcher and continues to be a grateful student. 

Manuela’s teaching is joyful and powerful, and at the same time a journey into non-conceptual and boundless awareness.

Since 2020, she lives in the south-west of France, together with her partner Marc and her son Tao. They lead a small retreat center for mindfulness, ecology and spirituality. She is teaching in various Yoga Teacher Trainings in Zurich and offers retreats and workshops in Switzerland and Europe.

“Yoga therapy shall motivate you to take more responsibility for your physical and mental health.”

Susanna Lorenzini

After the workshop, you will receive the practiced yoga therapy programs in written form to take home with you. This allows you to experience and deepen the effects through regular practice.

Shamanic drumming grounds and centers you and can create a state of trance. Your rational thinking will fade into the background so that the other areas of your being can progress.

Susanna Lorenzini worked in the health and travel business, before she discovered Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga in Fuerteventura in 1997. She proceeded to take a two months intensive teacher training with Nancy Gilgoff in Maui.

From 1999 to 2005, Susanna was teaching yoga with Bruno Dietziker in Zurich. She continued her studies with Lino Miele, Luisa Sears, Sharon Gannon and David Life and by attending various workshops and teacher trainings. In 2007, Susanna completed her 3-year training in yoga therapy with Remo Rittiner in Zurich. This was then followed by some further training with Doug Keller.

It is with great care that Susanna includes her therapeutic approach into her classes. Yoga therapy is a holistic approach, integrating body, breath and mind to recover a state of equilibrium. Its emphasis lies on personal and individual assistance for persons with chronic pain or ailments (such as back, shoulder or neck pain, asthma and the like). Susanna teaches at AIRYOGA in Zurich for 20 years. Since 2007, she has been a member of IAYT (International Association of Yoga Therapists) and of the Swiss Yoga Association Health Insurance.

Nadja Hediger is a yoga teacher and Esalen massage therapist.

Swami Satyananda says it perfectly:
“Regardless of whether you think a lot or not at all, tension will accumulate.
Regardless of whether you do physically demanding work or you don’t work at all, tension will accumulate.
Regardless of whether you sleep too much or not at all, tension will accumulate.
Regardless of whether you eat heavy food which is rich in protein, rich in carbohydrates, or whether you eat a purely vegetarian diet, you will accumulate tension.
These tensions will gather on the various layers of the human being. They accumulate in the muscular, emotional and mental system.”

With a regular Yoga Nidra practice these tensions are tackled on all levels and slowly dissolve. This effect will be experienced already after a short while of regular practice! 

The Yoga Nidra session mainly consists in lying in Savasana on our back. First the teacher mindfully guides us through our body. Depending on the method, a series of inner, mental “journeys” follow:  breath awareness and visualizations that bring us further into more subtle levels of mind. Ultimately we sink into Yoga Nidra: Stillness and spacious awareness without conscious content.
If practiced regularly, Yoga Nidra is a source of health, strength, inspiration and joy. 

In this workshop, we will practice two different sessions of Yoga Nidra where Adrian combines elements from both traditions (Swami Satyananda and Swami Rama). There will be enough time for preparation and follow-up and for Q&A after the session. A mindful Asanas-Flow and relaxing chanting are also part of the workshop schedule.

The workshop is open for everyone. No yoga experience is required. 
It is ideal for those who attend the regular Yoga Nidra classes at AIRYOGA as well as for people who wish to receive further information and a diligent introduction to this method.  

Ever since his graduating from ETH Zürich (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology) in environmental sciences, Adrian Wirth has been increasingly drawn to researching the relevance of the human mind when it comes to overall health. His work is equally influenced by scientific insights as it is by personal experiences in the fields of yoga, buddhist meditation and shamanic traditions. Adrian has completed his yoga teacher training with Remo Rittiner in Zurich. For several years now, he has been teaching public classes and workshops at AIRYOGA.

Both afternoons include a powerful Breathwork session / Breathing Meditation. In the first afternoon after a careful preparation, you lie in savasana with an accelerated breathing rhythm, listening to evocative music and you will enter a non-ordinary state of consciousness. This state activates the natural inner healing process of the psyche and of the body. During the night, in between the two sessions, the experience can sink deeper into your system.

In the second session we will do a breath-meditation in a seated posture, followed by a gentle exercise from Yoga Nidra, breathing through the Chakras.  Depending on the mood, we will practice a few gentle asana and chant a Mantra. There will be enough time to answer questions and sharing the experience. 

This workshop is recommended for those interested in deep inner healing work and in exploring deeper levels of body, mind and soul. For a deeper process we recommend both sessions, it’s possible however to just come for one afternoon.
This intensive Breathwork weekend has been offered by AIRYOGA since 2011 regularly  twice a year and for many it has become a milestone in the course of the year. 

Guido and Adrian know each other since 2004 and share many experiences in the yogic and shamanic world. 

Guido Lenz has over 30 years of experience in accompanying people into different states of consciousness, where the self- healing powers get activated. For more than 35 years he has been working as an organic wine farmer closely interlinked with nature and for all that time he has been “walking” on a Native American Ceremonial path. This taught him how to open a healing space, how to hold it and how to navigate in it together. On this path Guido has guided thousands of people through such breathing sessions. He has developed his own style, which derives from “Rebirthing”.

After his masters in Environmental studies at the ETH Zürich, Adrian Wirth increasingly studied the importance of a person’s mind and psyche for the health of the individual. His knowledge of the natural sciences flow into his work, as well as personal experience from yoga, Buddhist meditation and from shamanic traditions.

Katchie Ananda is a yoga and dharma teacher. She is certified in Integral, Jivamukti, Anusara, and Ashtanga yoga by Richard Freeman and has been teaching full time since 1991. 

A committed student of Vipassana meditation, she has practiced with Jack Kornfield since 2001 and is a certified dharma teacher. 

Her teachings have inspired many people over the years and she has brought her stories to students all over the world. She is appreciated by her students for her humor and authenticity.

MaxStrom_Portrait_2021

The experiential use of yoga props creates a joyful and carefree atmosphere. The focus is not on perfection or precise alignment but on being present in the moment, discovering freedom of movement, and freeing ourselves from judgment.

This approach also encourages learning not to take ourselves too seriously, which can lead to deeper relaxation. In the free awareness of movement and breath, moments of smiling and letting go often arise. Effortless movement ultimately leads to a silent seat where we can experience the fullness of the moment in its purest form. In stillness, a meditative calm unfolds that deeply connects us to our true essence.

In 2002, Manuela Peverelli got in touch with Yoga for the first time and was immediately fascinated by the art of embodied presence.
