Workshops
Starting in October 2024, Julie Martin will be offering an advanced and in-depth master class once a month. These 105-minutes classes are a wonderful opportunity to focus on a particular facet of yoga and to discover new aspects of the practice.
In Julie’s unique way of blending movement exploration, yoga philosophy and playfulness, this first masterclass of her series will have you questioning whether gravity is a pulling force or a pushing one.
Finding space in the joints through yielding we will layer asana and exercises to then use elasticity to spring against gravity. Each time coming back to our center and finding ease. Think of a wild cat relaxing in the jungle, then jumping up to run after prey. Graceful effort and powerful ease.
The monthly masterclasses with Julie are aimed at students who have a solid foundation in yoga and want to refine their skills and discover more advanced techniques.

Did you know that ill health often starts at the junction between seasons?
This comprehensive workshop is your autumn and winter wellness guide. It will bring together all the tools that you will need for a healthy, prosperous transition into the fall and winter season.
The accumulation of air and space elements during autumn/early winter can cause you to feel flighty, anxious, and ungrounded. In this workshop we will explore both Ayurveda habits and the practice of Yoga Nidra to enhance warmth, serenity, nourishment, and a stable routine. When prioritized, these practices will help you maintain a healthy and balanced body and mind.
All levels will benefit from this workshop with a basic knowledge of yoga.

The length and intensity of the practice allows you to take a break from the daily grind and your carousel of thoughts, offering the deep experience of immersing yourself in the world of asanas.
In the end this is about connecting body and mind, bringing prana and vitality to the body and with that coming home to ourselves, bringing peace and an increased sense of freedom to our everyday life.
Mirjam has been teaching yoga for over 14 years, she is a mentor and coach and combines a physically demanding and at the same time stabilizing practice with more joy and inner strength in everyday life.

Yes, they are existing. Those mostly rare moments, when we feel complete and deeply connected. Moments in which all seems to be right, exactly as it is. Those moments offer us insight into a state of mind that lies beyond our limited and ordinary view on life and ourselves. They give us a hint that there is more available within this human life, than to fulfill daily duties and an insatiable craving for something else than what we experience in the presence.
From time to time this sky-like quality of mind – a timeless awareness opens up, where no need for separation, judgement or manipulation exists. The practice of Yoga optimally leads us the way into this experience, in which we – despite all human conditions – taste our boundless and perfect nature of being.
This short immersion is aimed at yogis and yoginis who have been practicing regularly for at least two years and have experience in meditation.
Both sessions begin with some guided meditation and the listening of the breath, followed by a vigorous Asana practice, which will be completed with chanting. As usual, the intention is to see beyond our daily consciousness.

The ‘Shakti Shuttlez’ invite you and your friends to their next uplifting Kirtan and Mantra singing at AIRYOGA. Everybody who enjoys singing, dancing or quietly listening is warmly welcome to join this special Kirtan evening.
Kirtan is ‘call and response chanting’ from the Indian ‘devotional traditions’. You listen to a line and you repeat it. Relax your rational mind and open your heart through singing.
The tone of your own voice, the singing of the whole group and the sound of the instruments connect you to something very ancient: Singing together is one of the oldest human practices.
We take the liberty to interpret Kirtan and Mantra in a modern, global way. It’s about creating a space where all people can sing together, simple and free from the heart. We are part of a modern, global Bhakti Yoga movement, which presents the invocation of the Divine in an undogmatic way across traditions, so that everybody can find a connection to it.
The ‘Shakti Shuttlez’ are an offspring-project from Dave Stringer’s Kirtan flight school. Maureen, Tony und Adrian and sometimes some guest musicians are looking forward to singing with you.

Dynamic thai massage is a very intuitive, almost shamanic way of bodywork. It is a process that needs a lot of sensitivity and intuition, as the therapist slowly tunes into blockages on different dimensions of the patient: the physical, energetic, mental, emotional and spiritual levels. It is a form that allows the therapist to work with beautiful movement, effortlessly and playfully. It facilitates the opening of blocked areas with rhythmic rocking and oscillatory techniques. It helps to release tension and to bring back mobility where it is missing.
If you are new to Thai Massage or bodywork in general, this workshop will give you the basic foundations of Thai Massage – with some additional flavors from the osteopathic and biodynamic traditions.
For those having already some experience in this or any other kind of bodywork, there will be space to refine techniques individually, sharing experiences and further discussions so we can make our treatments more efficient according to the need of your patients.
In this workshop, we will focus on our movement, touch and concentration both in movement and stillness.

You dream of a life with more freedom and pleasure? You long for appreciation and love, unconditionally?
Experience how you can drop into your womanhood, ignite the fire of your feminine soul and creative power and blossom in your sensuality and attraction.
This workshop is specially designed for you to awaken the capacity for self-love in depth. After all, we are not made to function permanently. This means permanent stress and makes us sick. Especially we women burn out quickly and lose our vitality, creative energy and joy of life. Intuitively, we long to flow back into our original vitality, sensuality and creativity. To get back in touch with ourselves, to give space to ourselves and everything that makes us who we are. To feel ourselves, to meet intimately and to unfold freely. All these are essential needs. Acknowledging them, getting to know and appreciate ourselves authentically are the cornerstones of true self-love.
In addition to the workshop, Diana will offer an integration coaching call via Zoom on Monday, November 18, 2024 from 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm for all workshop participants.
Here you can share your workshop experience and ask questions. You will also receive valuable tips on how to integrate the rituals into your everyday life.

Adrian and Maureen from the ‘Shakti Shuttlez’, and Angela Alaska invite you to this special community event.
Together we celebrate: Kirtan and Dance as an expression of all our emotions, which we allow to be present in the moment, beyond right and wrong, in the respectful and mindful community, the Sangha! We sing, we dance, we pray and celebrate and give space to the Divine within us. And we honour the connection with Mother Nature: Teacher plants like Cacao (the original Olmec and Mayan word means “Food of the Gods”) have helped the humans since over millennia to go beyond their narrow, ego-centered consciousness into the union with the unbounded wholeness of creation and open the heart for Love.
No previous experience is necessary, only the openness to be guided by the music.

“You have no need to travel anywhere – journey within yourself.
Enter a mine of rubies and bathe in the splendor of your own light.”
Rumi
Join us for a journey through the different layers of the body, called koshas, from the gross to the subtle and all the way to our essence. Asana and pranayama balance the physical and energetic bodies so that we can better focus in meditation and let go in relaxation.
The practice will be accompanied by sounds, mantras and essential oils as they all work on the very subtle levels – an ideal practice to find inner and outer balance before the year comes to an end.

The darker months of the year are already quite challenging for many of us. We are constantly flooded by negative news from all around the world and this doesn’t make it easier! It’s really not easy to stay open and connected and at the same time grounded, centred and confident. We think it’s really important to keep offering this kind of vessels of support for our community.
When we sing a Mantra together much is happening with us on many levels. Bodily we are sitting still in meditation. For our feelings and emotions the Mantra is a vessel where they are allowed to be, where they have an outlet, an expression and direction to flow to. Instead of narrow and closed, our heart becomes soft and open again. Our emotional body can rid itself from much weight and can heal. On the mental level the continuous concentration on the Mantra can calm the endless chattering of our mind or temporarily stop it entirely. On the spiritual level it gives a form to the conscious or unconscious pull towards finding home again, towards the Source where we come from, a form to the longing to merge with the Divine.
We are looking forward to diving together into the spiritual dimension of life and to celebrate the holiness of being. The Mantra will transport us from the narrow everyday consciousness into the wide open awareness close to the Source.

The Rauhnächte or the holy days between Christmas and Epiphany are particularly mystical days. An interim period in which the veils to the other world are lifted.
The Rauhnächte arose from the difference between the days in the solar year (365 days) and the lunar year (354 days). To compensate for this difference, the Celts added 11 leap days and thus 12 nights, which are virtually ‘non-existent’. In these Rauhnächte, the laws of nature are suspended and the gates to the subtle world are wide open.
This workshop is suitable for all levels. No previous knowledge is necessary, just the willingness to get involved in this subtle world.
On each day during the Rauhnächte, the workshop participants will receive additional ideas and inspirations from Melanie via WhatsApp message.

Four Winter mornings of extended practice in Asana, Pranayama and Meditation. Each session builds progressively on the last to create a complete program. The immersion will look at the practices in a holistic way including reviewing some philosophical perspectives to better understand how we practice.
This is a chance to immerse into personal practice, to explore pranayama, find stillness and clarity and to allow the body to enjoy the depth of what Asana can reveal.
“Practice matures over a long time frame. Steadiness, patience and endurance are therefore key ingredients. But there are special times when it is absolutely invaluable to create a shift through an intensive period of study and practice.”
This morning immersion is suitable for students with established practices.

As a lifelong researcher of movement, moving anatomy, neuroscience and philosophy Julie’s mission is to EMPOWER your practice. To educate you to trust your inner wisdom. To hold a safe space for exploration, and instead of focusing on refining shapes we refine sensation. The structure is an invitation, not a rule.

Meditation: Kirbanu will guide you through heart-opening and grounding meditations. These practices will center you and bring you in touch with your inner peace and strength.
Pranayama: Gentle, guided exercises open up your respiratory system and release accumulated tension. Specific breathing exercises (pranayama) are then used to increase your inner sensitivity and find a deep, calm breath. These exercises can help you in daily life to increase your energy, to deepen your authentic self-connection and to transform blockages that prevent you from living your life in harmony with yourself.
Yin Yoga and mantra music sound bath: Soothing mantra music and gentle Yin Yoga will guide you into deep relaxation. While you linger in the asanas, the melodic sounds and powerful mantras help you to let go and calm your nervous system. This supports you to enter a state of relaxation where the natural healing and rejuvenation of your body can take place.
The asanas do not require excessive strength or balance, but emphasize the pleasure of deep stretching and relaxation.

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 2013, 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.

Thai Massage is an ancient healing art based on the principles of yoga philosophy: the practitioner makes use of the physical body as a tool to access the subtle bodies in order to bring physical, mental and spiritual healing and balance. Blockages can be released and the energy restored to its natural flow with the application of rhythmic pressure on therapeutic points and energy lines, the mindful stretching of muscles and precise joint manipulation. As this massage is working on the different body layers (koshas) the release works on an emotional, energetic and physical level.
In this workshop, a strong emphasis will be given to working with good posture, in a relaxed manner, with the application of vipassana and metta meditation.
There will be a focus on the quality of touch, as all healing happens as a result of the mental state, mental contents, concentration and emotional state of the giver.
So instead of a course with a fixed curriculum, you should imagine a course where everybody receives material according to their level of practice.
Zoltan Gyorgyovics is a full authorized teacher of Thai Yoga massage since 2014. He traveled to India at the age of 23 to study Hindi and Sitar. India was the place where he started to feel humanity, even people were poor and had only a handful of food to eat – they showed that we can listen and take care of each other.
In his travels through India, Zoltan came across yoga and started to practice intensively in Shivananda ashram (Rishikesh). This experience brought big change to his life, he recognized that he needs to work with the energy system of yoga.
In 2008, Zoltan started to give massage treatments in Thailand. Since 2014 he is a fully authorized teacher of the Sunshine Network and teaches Thai massage courses around the globe. He studied with the two founders of Osteothai (mix of Thai Massage and Osteopathy) which left a big imprint on him to start studying Osteopathy in Switzerland (SICO – Swiss International College of Osteopathy). He received the certificate for Craniosacral Therapy in 2018 and completed his 5-year studies in Osteopathy at SICO in 2021.
Nowadays, Zoltan lives, treats and teaches in Switzerland.

Both afternoons include a powerful breathing session. In the first afternoon after a careful preparation, you lie in savasana with an accelerated breathing rhythm, listening to evocative music and you will then 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 sessions, the experience can sink deeper into your system.
In the second session we will do a modern breath-meditation in a seated posture. Afterwards we will practice some gentle asana flow and chanting. There will be enough time to answer questions and deepen the process.
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.
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.

Diana Schöpplein is an author, lecturer and mentor in yoga, meditation, body mind science and self-care. She discovered yoga over 33 years ago and studied it back in the early 90’s in monasteries in India and Nepal. Since then, she has explored the connection and transformative potential of body, mind and heart with her Himalayan masters, her long-time shamanic mentor from New Mexico, as well as in her earlier involvement as an artist.
Out of her longing to understand her own self and the mysteries of life, Diana completed an art degree and delved into various yoga teacher trainings, including Classical Hatha Yoga, Anusara Yoga, Nada Yoga as well as Woman Self-Care. Thus, Diana’s decades of self-exploration of her own body, psyche and creative power merge ancient knowledge from yoga, Ayurveda and TCM with Somatic Movement, Breathwork, artistic and creative methods.
A passionate E-RYT500, Diana has been sharing her love of yoga for more than 12 years. She trains yoga teachers and encourages her students to unfold their own life path through Hatha Yoga, Yin and Restorative Yoga, Ayurveda, Pranayama and Chanting.
Diana lives primarily in Zurich and partly in Berlin and Asia. She has published numerous articles in the renowned magazine ‘Yoga Aktuell’. Her first book “embrace life yoga rituals” was published in February 2022.

Angela Alaska is a DJ – Earlier in the club and festival scene, today she creates safe spaces for ecstatic & conscious dance. See more about Angelas Musik and work on Soundcloud and on Facebook.
In the safe space of the circle we will hold a Cacao Ceremony and dive into the Mantras. Kirtan is a call-response chanting from the Indian devotional traditions (Bhakti Yoga). A phrase – the names of Gods and Goddesses – is called out and we respond with repeating the same phrase. Our consciousness is connecting to all the other members of the group and this creates a sense of belonging and community. All emotions are welcome, we can just relax and be, sometimes dancing ecstatically, sometimes tears are rolling down your checks, and then again completely still – in the here and now!
After the Kirtan Angela Alaska will take us on a musical (dance-) journey. With sounds and rhythms from different genres we will dive into ourselves and we will be guided by our own life force, which will shake and move us and find its own creative expression through dance.

The yogis believe that our body has not only one, but five different layers (koshas). Alongside the gross physical body, we also have an energetic, an emotional or mental body and a body of wisdom. Those are the subtle sheets. Our fifth body is our spiritual body or our essence or true nature and is covered by all the other sheets.
In the yoga practice, we work with all layers in order to pierce through to our essence. The asana practice works mostly on the physical body, breathing influences the energetic sheet, meditation works on our mental and emotional field while study of scripture allows us to access the deep Vedic wisdom and develop discernment. The different layers are in constant interaction and influence each other.
A practice that touches all the different layers including the spiritual one, is the chanting of mantras or transcendental sounds. Sound is connected to the element ether and touches us on a very deep and subtle level. Sound can bring about a specific memory and corresponding emotion in an instance. It is said in scripture that sound doesn’t only cleanse our body and mind, but also removes the dust from our heart.

On her trip to India in 2007, Melanie came into contact with yoga for the first time in Rishikesh. Since then, yoga and spirituality have accompanied her.
