Combine the healing power of sound and movement to create a unique and holistic experience that brings harmony to the body, mind, and soul.
This transformative session combines gentle TriYoga and live Dhrupad music to harmonize body, mind, and soul. Guided by Ishtar Dobler and featuring music by maestro Amit Sharma, it offers deep relaxation, self-awareness, and inner peace - an experience of renewal and lasting balance.
This unique session offers not only relaxation but profound, lasting transformation—a space in which body, mind, and soul are brought into harmony. The combination of flowing TriYoga and the powerful, meditative sounds of the Dhrupad is unique in the world. It creates a meditative space of self-awareness and brings about a deep, lasting sense of peace and regeneration.
Under the sensitive, precise guidance of Ishtar Dobler, body and mind are brought into harmony through gentle, flowing movements and conscious breathing. This serene practice is enriched by the magical sounds of Dhrupad, the most ancient Indian Classical music, played live by maestro Amit Sharma, creating an atmosphere of deep tranquillity and reflection.
Amit's sound bath touches the soul and opens access to inner healing.
This program is more than just a break from everyday life. It is an opportunity to dive into deep layers of the self and return to daily life with a sense of relaxation, inner peace, and tools to maintain a balanced mindset.
