Several hours a day in front of a screen - for many people this has long been the norm. But our bodies are made for something else: for movement, alignment and variability. The modern working day brings us into static postures that subtly but permanently inscribe themselves into our structures. Yoga not only offers "movement" here, but also a targeted, body-intelligent counterbalance. And...

Backbends in yoga open up our ribcage, invigorate the spine and give us a feeling of expansiveness. However, it is important to pay attention to the underlying anatomical principles when practising. In this blog article, we take a closer look at the myofascial interaction along the front and back of the body as well as stabilization through the core muscles and the pelvis. Backbends -...

Forward bends are one of the most well-known poses in yoga. They are considered calming, stretching and regenerating. In many classic yoga approaches, great emphasis is placed on stretched legs - for aesthetic or traditional reasons. However, from a biomechanical point of view, this alignment is usually not effective. On the contrary: if you permanently go into a forward bend with your legs stretched out, you risk...

Sometimes less is more. In the midst of a busy day, a short, focused yoga practice can work wonders - for your body, mind and nervous system.

Many men experience the pelvis as an area of restriction, tension or instability. Although yoga is generally known as a good method for releasing tension and movement restrictions, nowadays there are more women than men in most yoga classes. As a result, there are few specific classes for men (although yoga was traditionally for young men). Many...

The human body naturally exhibits asymmetries. We all have a certain dominance of the right side of the body, which is partly due to different neuronal connections to the left and right side of the body. This fundamental asymmetry affects our posture, breathing and mobility - and can lead to restrictions or pain in the long term. The good news is that through targeted, mindful...

A long back is not only an expression of good posture, but also the result of a balanced distribution of strength, flexible structures and functional breathing. In our modern way of life - characterized by sitting, leaning forward and internal pressure - the back often loses length, elasticity and alignment. This results in compression, tension and restricted movement, particularly in the lower back,...

Standing yoga is far more than just a physical workout. It combines grounding with uprightness, stability with lightness and embodies the idea of being present both internally and externally in a special way. Standing postures are among the most powerful asanas in yoga - both biomechanically and energetically. They challenge us to find our balance, our center...

Our everyday lives are often characterized by sensory overload, tension and emotional overload. Many people feel permanently in "survival mode" - driven, restless, exhausted. Emotional balance seems far away in such moments. But this is precisely where yoga can provide targeted support by calming the central nervous system, stimulating the vagus nerve and bringing the body into a state of deep regeneration....
