    BARBRA NOH

    Arrival on 12/10/2025

    5 nights
    Grounding Vata: A Nervous System Regulation Retreat
    Immerse yourself in slow, safe and strengthening therapeutic yoga. This retreat offers Ayurvedic wisdom to soothe and nourish the nervous system. You will learn how to reduce Vata to feel more grounded, calm and focused.
    Vata is the Ayurvedic principle encompassing movement, change, the nervous system, mental activity, and pain. When our Vata is high, we may feel anxious, sleepless, distracted, experience joint pain, feel stressed, and "up in the air."
    Join Barbra to get grounded with some earthy practices. She will teach you how to adapt your yoga practice to reduce Vata. The physical practice will focus on the lower back, hips, and legs, featuring specific biomechanics for a more therapeutically aligned asana practice. This retreat program also includes pranayama and meditation.
    We will discuss Vata from a mind-body perspective and how to notice when Vata is increasing. You will leave this retreat knowing which movement practices, foods, lifestyle habits, and routines help reduce stress on the nervous system.
    You will gain a better understanding of how to take care of yourself in demanding times and a greater capacity for self-compassion.

    China steht an einem Wendepunkt - politisch, wirtschaftlich und ideologisch. In Lesungen, Vorträgen und Diskussionen entfaltet sich ein vielschichtiges Bild: von klassischen Weisheitslehren über revolutionäre Denkschulen bis hin zu den Spannungen und Herausforderungen der Gegenwart. Die Geschichte der chinesischen Literatur und Philosophie wird in ihren prägenden Momenten nachgezeichnet. Doch gerade die aktuellen Spannungen und Umbrüche verleihen dem Thema eine besondere Brisanz. Chinas politische Rolle ist im Wandel, die zukünftige Entwicklung ungewiss. In einer Zeit rasanter Veränderungen verbindet sich historische Analyse mit der drängenden Frage, wohin der Weg führen wird.

    mit Lothar Ledderose, Manfred Osten et al.
