Meet the instructorS
Gunni – Gunnhildur is an advanced Jivamukti yoga teacher and a Certified Yoga Nidra Teacher by Amrit Yoga Institute.
She graduated in Costa Rica in 2017 and has been teaching in Berlin ever since. By practising daily she has tremendous trust in the healing power and transformational potential the practices of Yoga have.
She is very grateful for all the teachers who have supported her and guided her along the way.
Her classes are demanding, with a fierce and gentle touch in equal parts. Gunni loves sharing the benefits of yoga practices with her students. By focusing on conscious breathing, we can actively take charge of our own energy; in turn, healing can happen, further strengthening who we truly are.
Marie – Marie is an advanced Jivamukti yoga teacher who loves to chant.
Together with Janka, she opened the Roots Yoga Studio in 2019 in order to give yogis a place where they can experience the beautiful philosophy of yoga together. Marie completed the Jivamukti teacher training in 2017 in Costa Rica. Accompanied by her mentor Anja Kühnel she finished her apprenticeship in the years after.
Yoga teaches Marie to be grateful for what is and not to always want more of what could be. Yoga also teaches her to be strong but also soft, courageous and kind, not just in her physical body but in her mind, heart and attitude towards herself and through compassion to all other beings.
HIGHLIGHTS
Highlights of the retreat, what people can look forward to:
With Jivamukti Yoga classes, kirtan, chanting and meditation as well as incredible hiking tours, beach trips and Satsang we fill this week with all sensations that will arise. We want to calm our minds and slow down together for a while to see the often unseen: inner peace, harmony and compassion for us and everything that surrounds us. This aspect and the true meaning of compassion for all beings is the root of Jivamukti Yoga and we will try to come closer to this place during our journey.
We will have an extended intense yoga asana practice in the morning and a flowing light practice like asana or meditation in the afternoon.
