Absolute Beginners Yoga Workshop with Vera Schneider

To take part in this Yoga Beginners workshop, you don’t need any previous knowledge and you don’t have to be “flexible”.
All you need to bring is an open mind and a curiosity for change.

In this 3-hour workshop, we will awaken inward mental focus, you will get to know your breath (and its power), and we will practice the most basic yoga postures (asanas) to improve flexibility, strength, coordination and balance. In between, you will learn new and interesting things about your anatomy, the origins and history of yoga and the different yoga styles, so that you can then embark on your personal yoga path with the necessary knowledge. Calmly and with a clear mind.

Absolute Beginners workshops are designed to awaken in you the joy of experimenting and the fun of learning. Breathing and body awareness create a state in which energy is released and can flow again, so that you feel at home in your body.

These workshops are also an ideal preparation for regular yoga classes.

Embody the light of your being with Sarah Platt-Finger

In workshop session one, Sarah will guide you through a practice on embodying the light of your being.

There are several different references to the light in the ancient Vedic writings, often pointed to as different aspects of our mind and consciousness. The word ‘enlightened’ means ‘to make luminous’, and it is the experience we have when we can see things as they really are. To be in the light means to be in the truth of your unbounded and infinite self, and it can only be accessed when we experience the state of yoga, which is samadhi.

Session two is about Ayurveda and Kriya. Ayurveda is an ancient science of health and healing, based on the 5 main elements that make up all of nature: earth, water, fire, air, and space. Each element has its own quality, and the combination of elements that exist within us is known as our constitution, or our prakriti. When those elements get thrown off balance due to environmental factors, we lose our vitality and experience dis-ease, known as our condition, or vakriti. When we understand how the elements accumulate within us, we have agency over our own well-being and can live out our life’s purpose with grace and ease.

Both workshop sessions are open to yoga practitioners of all levels and traditions.

Kirtan Evening with the Shakti Shuttlez

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.

Saturday, June 8, 2024 from 2:30 pm to 5:30 pm: A new way to experience the Standing Forms

The Standing Asanas form the foundation for all Asana. It is here that we gather building blocks and experience to take the practice further. Standing Asanas generate a cleansing heat, release tension in the pelvis and hips and connect us to the three base chakras. They also help correct imbalances in the asymmetrical patterns in our feet, hips, spine and mind.

By using various methods from the Iyengar system, (propping techniques, interesting modifications to alignment and ways of finding support), you can have a more clear and deep experience in these forms. These Asanas lift energy and create immense stability in body and mind.

If you want to find correct alignment, find pain-free depth, or discover a deeper experience, this workshop is for you.

Space is limited to 24 students.

Sunday, June 9, 2024 from 1:30 pm to 4:30 pm: The Joy of Asana

Asana practice can work on many levels to induce and create feelings of joy in the body and mind. There is a playful element to some forms. They can be physically challenging or difficult due to the fear or perceptions of our mind or simply a missing insight that creates an opening.

There are beautiful ways in Iyengar’s method, using props and innovative modifications that allow us to experience a form that is usually limited or not possible for us. To experience what we didn’t think was possible in a safe, manageable and intelligent way.

Stephen Thomas is an experienced Yoga teacher and practitioner. He leads classes, Teacher Trainings, Workshops and Immersions. His teaching is rooted in the traditional Yoga practices. His philosophical background is influenced by studies in Yoga as well as Buddhism.

Stephen is a long term student of O.P. Tiwari of Kaivalyadham, India – a master in the science of Pranayama and Ayurveda. He combines that foundation with over 20 years of study and exploration in the fields of Alignment based Asana. He has spent these decades refining an evolution of practice that has spanned many years in Ashtanga Vinyasa, Anusara and his love of Iyengar’s approach. He teaches in a way that understands the value of transformation through effort and dedication without imposing Dogma. 

Stephen teaches at his own studio, SVARUPA in Bern and as a senior teacher at AIRYOGA in Zurich. He is a father and dedicates his time to family life, writing, documenting and researching Yoga. He also works one-on-one with many students and helps to mentor teachers in the community.

Saturday, June 15, 2024 from 2:30 pm to 5:30 pm: Living in the Light

Based on her recently released book, Living in the Light, which she coauthored with Dr. Deepak Chopra, Sarah will begin this session by discussing the 8 limbs of yoga from a modern and integrated perspective; specifically the yamas, or codes of social intelligence and the niyamas, or codes of emotional intelligence. Through the culmination of ancient yogic techniques including pranayama, Kriya, and breath-based movement, Sarah will guide you through a practice to access the luminosity that is you at your essence.

Sunday, June 16, 2024 from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm: Ayurveda and Kriya

In this session, Sarah will discuss the three main doshas, or mind-body types, what their characteristics are when out of balance, and how to bring them back into harmony through pranayama and kriya yoga. Kriya is a non-binding action that purifies our consciousness, leading us back to the source of our being. This workshop will leave you with an enhanced understanding of your unique nature, why you may have certain tendencies that create disharmony, and how to bring yourself back into alignment, both internally and externally.

Sarah Platt-Finger has been sharing the transformative tools of yoga worldwide for nearly two decades. She is the Director of Chopra Yoga at IIN (Institute for Integrative Nutrition), and the co-founder of ISHTA Yoga, LLC.

Sarah believes that the practice of yoga on the mat is a reflection of the reality we create off the mat, and that a deeper awareness of our physical, mental, and emotional patterns can bring us closer to the essence of our being.

She currently lives in Boca Raton, Florida with her husband, her daughter Satya, and their dog Malcolm.

Sunday, June 23, 2024 from 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm: The Art of Teaching – A Guide to Teaching a Yoga Workshop

In this session, you will learn how to hold a yoga workshop. We will look specifically at the advantages and differences of a yoga workshop compared to a conventional yoga class. You will learn step-by-step how to create a well-rounded experience for your students.

Hie Kim is one of the main teacher trainers of the legendary Inside Yoga Studio which holds its teacher trainings in more than eight locations. There, he takes the role of the compassionate teacher trainer, that will let you conquer obstacles with knowledge and uncomfortable moments with humor.

On 50 weekends a year, Hie teaches hundreds of yoga teachers and is well known in German-speaking Europe and Asia. He writes poems, books on yoga specific topics and organises the Yunion Yoga Festival in Gastein, Austria. Furthermore, he teaches multiple video series on the premium online yoga platform tintyoga.com.

Hie’s biggest premise in his Yoga classes is, that the class itself is created in the space between teacher and student. He teaches this reactive teaching style – known as echo sequencing – to yoga teachers in his 35-hour training course ‘The Art of Teaching’.

With a keen sense of methodology and a sensitive mind, Hie picks up his students right where they are and takes off to a journey where body, mind and emotions cross roads. His poems in shavasana are especially popular.

When not teaching, Hie Kim enjoys spending time in the kitchen or cuddling with his two cats, Yani and Yumi.

Conscious-Connected Breath is a transformative practice based on the deep wisdom of the breath that serves as a gateway to self-discovery and holistic healing.

This ancient technique, also known as circular breathing, involves a continuous and rhythmical pattern of breathing without pauses between inhalation and exhalation.

Through this awakening breath oxygen is pushed through all energy channels – also known as nadis. In this process, the unconscious can appear at the surface – that magic moment when the unconscious becomes conscious. It can appear in different physical sensations or through different emotions. As individuals integrate Conscious-Connected Breathwork into their lives, they often report enhanced clarity, increased vitality, and a profound sense of inner peace.

The life path of Tamy Love, better known as Tamy Glauser, has led her from a top model to a spiritual guide.

Despite her glamorous past on many catwalks, Tamy always felt a pull towards spirituality. It was during her studies of sociology that she first came in touch with Buddhism. Her first steps into breath work followed in 2012. She practiced Vipassana and integrated this form of meditation into her everyday life. In 2020, she was introduced to Reiki; since 2023 she is a Reiki master teacher.

Tamy is practising the life force energy technique every day. Over the years, Reiki and meditation have been joined by sound healing. Tamy is now a certified Breathwork Facilitator, completely in love with this sacred medicine – a combination of breathwork and energy therapy, in harmony with music.

After many years of inward and outward traveling, the great search for the true self and remembering, the time has finally come for Tamy to share her precious knowledge.

Each day builds progressively on the last to create a complete week. The program will look at the practices in a holistic way including reviewing some philosophical perspectives to better understand how we practice.

“A thousand candles can be lit from a single flame and its life will not be shortened, likewise practice never decreases by being shared.”

Stephen Thomas is an experienced Yoga teacher and practitioner. He leads classes, Teacher Trainings, Workshops and Immersions. His teaching is rooted in the traditional Yoga practices. His philosophical background is influenced by studies in Yoga as well as Buddhism.

Stephen is a long term student of O.P. Tiwari of Kaivalyadham, India – a master in the science of Pranayama and Ayurveda. He combines that foundation with over 20 years of study and exploration in the fields of Alignment based Asana. He has spent these decades refining an evolution of practice that has spanned many years in Ashtanga Vinyasa, Anusara and his love of Iyengar’s approach. He teaches in a way that understands the value of transformation through effort and dedication without imposing Dogma. 

Stephen teaches at his own studio, SVARUPA in Bern and as a senior teacher at AIRYOGA in Zurich. He is a father and dedicates his time to family life, writing, documenting and researching Yoga. He also works one-on-one with many students and helps to mentor teachers in the community.

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.
