with Nadine Runggaldier

January 15 — 19, 2025
‍Wednesday to Sunday 9:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.
Price: 880.- €
‍
Nadine has one foot in the energetic world and one foot in reality. She is both a Reiki champion and, among other things, an independent yoga teacher/entrepreneur. Through her training, she herself has acquired a deep understanding of the subject matter and applies it regularly in her classes. In this 40-hour module, you will first look at your own energies with the help of journaling and look behind your own patterns. In this way, you will learn how to design your classes more energetically.

Content of the module

In this module, we look at everything that goes beyond physical asana practice to deepen the practice itself and its understanding of the energetic dimension of yoga. The module combines theory with asana, pranayama, and meditation to provide a comprehensive understanding of the energetic principles in yoga. There is a particular focus on integrating these concepts into asana practice and wording during class.

Basics of the energy body:
You will get a comprehensive overview of the essential concepts of the energy body, learn about the various layers (koshas) that permeate us, the subtle life forces (vayus) that flow through our body flows, as well as the energy channels (nadis) and energy centers (chakras). Nadine will teach you more about the energy of the individual elements and how they influence our well-being. This module lays the basis for deeper understanding and holistic yoga practice.
‍
Chakra Deep Dive:
You not only learn to understand the chakras theoretically, but also to integrate them into your own practice and teaching activities.
‍
Nadis and elements:
The subtle energy channels (Nadis) and their connection to the five elements (earth, water, fire, air and ether): How do these elements manifest in your body and how can you balance them through specific asanas and pranayama techniques? This knowledge will help you develop a deeper understanding of your body's energetic dynamics.
‍‍
Koshas:
The five koshas, the different layers of our being: the physical shell (Annamaya Kosha), the energetic shell (Pranamaya Kosha), the mental shell (Manomaya Kosha), the shell of higher knowledge (Vijnanamaya Kosha) and the shell of bliss (Anandamaya Kosha). You'll learn how these layers interact with each other and how you can create a balance between them through practice.
‍
‍Vayus:
The five main flows of life energy (prana) in our body. Learn the functions and characteristics of Prana Vayu, Apana Vayu, Samana Vayu, Udana Vayu and Vyana Vayu and how you can promote harmony and balance of these energies through targeted exercises and breathing techniques.‍
‍

The “Energy Works - Beyond the Asana” module gives you the opportunity to explore and integrate the deeper energetic aspects of yoga. Expand your knowledge and practice to support your students on their yoga journey in turn.
