Gwyn Williams @gwynzenthai Zenthaishiatsu Workshops

Gstaad June 21-24th 2024

I am absolutely delighted that Gwyn Williams will be coming to Gstaad this June as part of his European tour to share his very special transformative  teachings with us in a series of Workshops at both Le Grand Bellevue Gstaad as well as the stunning Wasserngrat mountain!

To celebrate international Yoga day as well as the summer solstice on Friday June 21st from 10.00-12.30 we invite you to to join Gwyn on the Wasserngrat mountain in Gstaad for Fire & Water: Lower back pain, knee issues, insomnia and low energy are all a result of weak water energy. Commonly, we are in active driven states where fire energy is depleting our reserves. In this class you will learn ways to deal with preventing the syndromes from occurring and how to deal with the issues when they arise. Solo and partner work is involved. This workshop will be followed by a special Wasserngrat lunch - total price including lunch and lift CHF150

Then on Saturday 22/6 10.00-13.00 and Sunday 23/6 14.00-17.00 Le Grand Bellevue Gstaadwill be the venue for both - A Moving Meditation (We work with the tools of silence, spaciousness and deep listening to guide the body back to its natural and unimpeded state. You will be guided through a simple therapeutic Zenthai bodywork flow based around the rhythm of the water element to discover that the art of giving is as therapeutic as the gift of receiving. The kidney and bladder will be revitalised with a new found energy.) as well as Movement as Therapy (This class welcomes all newcomers to the practice we call Zenthai. Utilising the tool of breath and the mind as an arrow, this class invited your inquisitive nature to dive into the amazing transmitter we can be when our energy is running freely. Fixed movement leads to fluid movement with a focus on the lower back. Be bold and try something new!) Both of these workshops can be booked separately for CHF125pp or together for a special combined price of CHF220.

New Summer Workshop: FORELLENSEE-GSTAAD

Tuesday July 9th

Next month I will be offering my first workshop @forellensee-gstaad-zweisimmen, for both on water and land yoga practices to help enhance your sense of inner calm strength and balance .

If you don’t already know the venue it’s a beautiful small nature reserve lake with lovely clear and still water located on the left as you drive in towards Zweisimmen from direction Bern or right as you drive down from Gstaad. They also have a fantastic lakeside Yurt that converts into a perfect snug round Yoga Shala !

• There are so many benefits to practicing yoga on water, enhancing balance stability strength, and creating a greater sense of proprioception. All of which are heightened when outside in amongst nature, where you can breathe in fresh air whilst floating into the best Savasana ever!

• Balance board yoga can be a perfect ‘on land’ complement to Supyoga or an alternative if you’re not so fond of water. The @strobelwalter boards we use are beautifully handmade with solid wood tops and bowed bases which replicate a little the gentle wobble movement of water, thus giving many of the same benefits particularly strength, maybe even more than a paddle board due to the resistant solid wooden surface, a few chaturangas on a balance board is definitely as good if not better than a gym workout!

• Restorative Yoga is the perfect complement to both of these practices, utilising bolsters, blocks, belts and blankets, helping to relax and release tightened muscles and cultivating a wonderful sense of calm.

• This workshop will be on Tuesday July 9th from 14.00-17.00 , will include lake Supyoga and land Balance Board duets, mid afternoon break with home made cake and yogi tea! Followed by a collective Restorative yoga practice in the Yurt to close .

• Price per person CHF90

• I would be really delighted if you can come and join me for this, just email natascha@zelleryoga.com to book your place .

Menopause Yoga Workshop Series @bewegungsraum-saanen.ch 

beginning Sunday 14th August 09.30-12.00

I was very proud earlier this year to have graduated from one of the most incredibly valuable courses I have done in recent years. This amazing group of fellow yoga teachers came together to learn from Petra Coveney-@menopause_yoga, on her groundbreaking course that she developed to help guide women through their menopause journey. A subject that until fairly recently was either not discussed at all or if it was, rather too briefly ! Thank goodness however this is now changing and women globally are coming together to open up this much needed discussion, and further more women like Petra Coveney and Dr Louise Newson-@menopause_doctor, are creating tools through practices like yoga, Ayurveda, traditional Chinese medicine, alongside conventional modern medicine like hormone replacement therapy, which having had a bad name for so long due to one study over 20 yrs ago, is now so diverse and sophisticated that there are many accessible options for women to try .

Workshop 1 will be a generic introduction into how specific yoga practices can help various stages of menopause and beyond . Then each following workshop will focus on specific stages and corresponding practices .

Please don’t hesitate to get in touch with any questions and more information about booking your place.
