About the event

Our world consists of the polarities of Yin and Yang, and they merge harmoniously, as symbolized in the Yin and Yang sign.

The combination of Yin and Yang Yoga is unique. Yin represents the resting, female energy - Yang the active, male energy. Our everyday life is often dominated by the Yang principle: working, performing, speed, rhythm, being active... Relaxation, a soft and intuitive approach, recharging our energies are often neglected.

During these four days we aim to bring the energies and power of Yin and Yang into harmony. In Yang Yoga, we strengthen our physical and mental concentration, building up strength and flexibility through active and attentive movement sequences. In Yin Yoga, we experience the feminine, passive, strengthening and meditative aspect of movement. In a meditative practice, Yin Yoga primarily stimulates the fascia tissue, which connects everything in our body, down to the smallest cell. Yin Yoga helps us to step out of the stress and worries of everyday life and to bring body and mind back into balance and harmony: inner strength combined with outer flexibility.

When Yin and Yang are balanced within us again, satisfaction and joy can accompany our everyday life.

To participate in this retreat, basic knowledge of yoga is recommended. The classes will be conducted in German or English.

Teacher: Stefania Maria Bernet

Accommodation

The Karunahaus is situated in the hills above the small village of Unterwasser in the valley of Toggenburg, close to nature at the foot of Mount Säntis at 1068 m.a.s.l. From here, you can enjoy a magnificent view of the Churfirsten mountains and the valley. The large terrace, various outdoor seating areas and shady trees invite you to enjoy the peace and quiet outdoors. Guests can also use the organic swimming pond, which is perfectly integrated into nature. A spacious barrel sauna can be used for a fee.

The guest rooms are bright, simple and functionally furnished. Shared toilets and showers are located on the floor.

The Karunahaus offers a fresh, rich vegetarian cuisine with mainly organic products, most from the region. The house is non-smoking and alcohol-free.
