Meeting the Moment – An MBSR-Inspired Invitation to Mindfulness (in German)

Mindfulness means directing our attention to what is happening right now and meeting the experience with openness, without needing to become or change anything. Free from performance pressure and the expectation to achieve a particular outcome, this workshop invites you to simply be and to experience mindfulness. Through guided meditations (sitting meditation and body scan), mindful movement (yoga), short reflections, and shared conversation, you will explore what emerges in the present moment. The aim is not to switch off your thoughts or become completely calm, but rather to notice what is present and to meet your thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations with greater awareness. 
The workshop is inspired by the MBSR (Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction) program and is open to anyone who would like to discover mindfulness or deepen their existing practice. No prior experience with mindfulness or yoga is required.

Yoga as an Anti-Stress-Strategy (in German)

In this workshop, you will learn how the body responds to stress and what role the voluntary and autonomic nervous systems play in this process. We will explore the functions of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems and understand the difference between acute and chronic stress, including typical physical symptoms. Building on this understanding, you will learn how yoga can effectively support nervous system regulation through breathing exercises, asanas, and meditation. Through practical exercises and a handout with helpful links, the workshop provides you with accessible tools for reducing stress in the short, medium, and long term, promoting inner balance, and sustainably strengthening your resilience.
