Types of Yoga at Our "Haus der Mitte"

What is yoga? The teachings of yoga originated thousands of years ago in India. The goal of yoga is to bring the soul, body, and mind into harmonious unity. A combination of special body positions, deep stretches, and breathing exercises is designed to help achieve this. Controlled breathing is just as important as physical exercise in reducing stress and promoting relaxation.

The creators of this Far Eastern philosophy were well aware of the interplay between the mind and the body. The word “yoga” aptly translates to “connection”: When the mind suffers, it can manifest physically. This, in turn, affects one’s well-being and mood. Yoga exercises therefore strengthen both the body and the mind equally.

• Vinyasa Yoga: "Meditation in Motion" — a variation of the Hatha Yoga style: The individual asanas (postures) are linked together in a fluid and powerful sequence in time with the breath. With different levels available, even beginners can easily keep up in this challenging class!
• Yin Yoga: Calm style of yoga, mostly practiced lying down or sitting, passive stretching
  Goal: To achieve a meditative state and stretch muscles, ligaments, and tendons
• Yoga Nidra: "The Yogi's Sleep" — relaxation of body and mind. The spoken Yoga Nidra guidance helps you enter a sleep-like state, but you remain awake the entire time by directing your attention.
• Yogilates: A combination of yoga and Pilates
  Goal: To promote flexibility and strengthen deep muscles
• Hatha Yoga: Hatha Yoga takes a holistic approach, incorporating asana (postures), pranayama (breathing exercises), and meditation.
  Goal: To experience the energetic effects of the exercises and achieve physical and mental balance.
• Yin & Yang Yoga: This class combines dynamic and strengthening exercises (Yang) with calm, meditative Yin Yoga
  Goal: Balance and harmony between activity and rest, tension and relaxation, as well as doing and being.
• Slow Flow: Similar to Vinyasa Yoga, the exercises are practiced as "meditation in motion," flowing smoothly with the rhythm of the breath. The focus is more on gentle stretches and improving flexibility.
• Gentle Yoga: A short and gentle yoga workout—suitable even for complete beginners.
• Meridian Yoga: Meridian Yoga combines yoga poses with techniques from TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine). We use targeted stretching and compression of the meridians (energy channels) to release tension and activate energy flow. The aim is to harmonize our organs and energy systems.

Other sports and activity courses:

• Aquafit: Dynamic and athletic exercise with lots of fun in the water
• Breathing meditation: Conscious regulation and deepening of breathing through mindfulness
  Goal: To promote concentration, strengthen the diaphragm and lung capacity, and cleanse the lungs
• Healthy back: Mobilization, strengthening, and stretching of the back muscles and adjacent muscle groups such as the arms and legs. The entire body is exercised and the back is relieved.
• Meditation: Mindfulness and concentration exercises to focus your thoughts
  Goal: To observe your thoughts neutrally and find the path to your inner center
• Pilates: Systematic whole-body training to strengthen deep-seated muscles with a focus on the pelvic floor, abdominal, and back muscles
  Goal: Profound control of the muscles with the help of the mind
• Reformer Pilates on the mat: In addition to classic Pilates on the mat, there is also training using the Reformer carriage developed by Joseph Pilates. In this Pilates session, Reformer training is simulated on the mat using bands and Sveltings (sliding pads).
• Deep relaxation: Relaxation technique in which certain muscle groups are consciously tensed and relaxed
  Goal: State of deep relaxation of the entire body
• Happy Feet: We practice various strengthening and mobilization exercises as well as balance poses for good foot health. An hour that's fun.
• Happy fascia: We practice specific movements to revitalize our fascial tissue. An energetic hour in which we also practice rolling with the Blackroll.
• Relaxed neck, relaxed head: We practice various techniques to relax the entire head, neck, and shoulder area. A peaceful time of well-being.
• Hike: We will explore Hallenberg's beautiful nature on various trails and, depending on the hike, visit the Kreuzbergkapelle chapel, Heidekopfturm tower, or Sauerland-Stabil-Stuhl viewpoint. The hike will be adapted to the group and will take approximately 2.5 hours. Walking sticks can be borrowed. Sturdy shoes are recommended.
