Kundalini Yoga
The art of the creative self
Kundalini Yoga is one of the oldest yoga traditions. It is the science of consciousness and creative potential. It is the path to one's own heart and true self. We recognize our destiny and begin to live it.
Further information
From 50 basic postures, hundreds of postures asanas and movements are derived. Through the correct and concentrated execution of the exercises, the flexibility and vital dynamics in the body increases. Through correct and deep breathing Pranayama, our attitude towards life, our thoughts and feelings change. We increase our life energy and our ability to relax.
By reciting and chanting mantras, the mind calms and relaxes. Through the healing vibrations, consciousness expands and the connection to creation can be experienced again. The conscious channeling of life energy through the application of the body locks Bhandas supports the self-healing powers. Each Kriya practice sequence includes meditation with different hand postures mudras and breath forms. The deep relaxation Shavasana to gong or music, allows the integration of the released energy and a deep inner peace.

Sadhana - Yoga before sunrise
The art of devotion
The early morning practice is a self-correction that creates a disciplined "channel" for the body and mind through which you can express the Infinite within you. Sadhana is a personal, spiritual practice that redefines the rhythm of your life and your behavior and aligns it with your true purpose. You consciously train your body and mind and raise the Infinite in your heart in word and attitude.

Hatha Yoga
The art of inner balance
With Regula Curti or Rebecca Robinson
Hatha Yoga is an Indian teaching over 4000 years old. In Sanskrit Hatha means "Ha" sun and "Tha" moon. Sun and moon stand for the polarities and dualities that we want to overcome in order to be completely in our inner center. Overcoming the opposites strives for the oneness of body, mind and soul.
Further information
The practice of Hatha Yoga consists of held and moving postures, each with its own form (asanas) determined by stretching, counter-stretching and resistance. Together with conscious breathing (pranayama), the circulation of energy and blood is stimulated and the entire nervous system is brought into balance. The practice of integrated meditation (dhyana) helps the mind to focus and develop an inner alertness.
At Seeschau we practice a gentle, meditative form of Hatha Yoga. Mindfulness and awareness training are designed to help us move forward with our own physical challenges. It is about exploring one's own limits and gently expanding them.

In Sanskrit, "Jiva" means the soul and "Mukti" means liberation. Jivamukti Yoga is a path to liberation from the cycle of death and rebirth while still alive.

Lessons include flowing vinyasa sequences, individual hands-on assistance, pranayama (breathing exercises), meditation, Sanskrit chanting and deep relaxation. In Jivamukti Yoga, the asanas are integrated into choreographed movement sequences in a dance-like manner. The movements are performed with great calmness and inner balance. Over time, practitioners find their way into a natural, responsible, balanced and happy life.
The 5 pillars of Jivamukti Yoga
Ahimsa: non-violence, environmental protection
Bhakti: devotion
Nada: listening inside and outside, sound, tone and music
Shastra: study of the texts of Patanjali and the Bhagavad Gita
Dhyana: meditation

Shakti Dance
The yoga of the dance
With Susanne Giger
With music, flowing movements and conscious breath, body and mind swing in. The energy channels open, meridians flow freely and fasciae become elastic, blockages and patterns dissolve. The soul shows itself free, luminous and full of confidence in the creation of its own dance.
Further information
Shakti Dance is based on Kundalini Yoga and was developed in the 90's by Sara Avtar Olivier with the support of Yogi Bhajan. This yoga path shares with Kundalini Yoga the common goal of expanding consciousness to unfold and manifest our soul potential in daily life.
The effects of Shakti Dance are immediate. Participants report feeling lighter and freer in their movements as well as more centered in their bodies. On the spiritual level, a wider horizon and broader perspective are often mentioned. This allows participants to face daily challenges with greater serenity and joyful creativity.
