What will the world look like if people live more in balance with nature?

In 2023 yoga teacher Mariska Gunsing will start a monthly workshop series in which this question is central. She believes that if we connect better with nature (and therefore also with ourselves), we collectively feel more intrinsic motivation to take good care of nature and ourselves. She even dares to say that we can alleviate many of today’s major problems – such as depression, burnout and the climate crises – by reconnecting with nature.

The workshops follow nature’s annual energy cycle, through practical exercises from the Chinese/Japanese yoga form Dō-in and theory inspired by the book ‘Living and working in the rhythm of the seasons’ by Jaap Voigt. In which month is the best time to develop new ideas? And what is the best time to bring it out? When is evaluation important? And how can you support this every month within your yoga practice?

The workshops last 1.5 hours, have a largely practical character with a small part of theory. After each workshop you will receive an online video of one hour and some theory by email, so that you can practice the practical part at home as often as you want, and read the theoretical part. Also useful if you can’t be there live.

Friday evenings 19.30 – 21.00 @ Samana Yoga Center, Amsterdam
