Short description, contents:
The Yogama Retreat I bend so I don't break is about resilience, the ability to learn to adapt to difficult and stressful situations and to recover from them with yoga and mindfulness exercises. It is about coping with setbacks, challenges and changes and focusing on your mental health, getting to know your body better and supporting it.
You should learn to better manage all your tasks and challenges, to talk openly about your feelings, to achieve balance between body, mind and soul, to achieve mental and emotional stability, which is important not only in your personal life but also in your professional environment.
To focus attention on a specific point or thing, here we learn with meditation exercises to sharpen this focus and to be present in the present moment without allowing ourselves to be distracted.
Yoga and meditation are a good combination to develop clarity and awareness and to relax the mind.
