Contemplation & Yin
Yoga Retreat

Experience profound meditation and Yin Yoga led by 2 experts:

- Master Markus Henning Giess

- Master Karin Michelle Sang.

“Silence and contemplation leads to understanding. Understanding leads to compassion. Compassion leads to love, kindness and equanimity in our hearts.”

- Markus Henning Giess -

In a fast-paced, performance-oriented, crisis-ridden life, we often feel alone, overwhelmed and stressed. Our response to this is often to demand more of ourselves, to want to go higher, faster and further. The result is often deep physical and mental exhaustion.

Yin Therapy deliberately takes the opposite approach to create awareness of the imbalance in the body and mind through meditation, contemplation, restorative and yin yoga practices. We begin to feel again what we need in life and learn to distinguish the essential from the inessential.

Studies show that compassion towards ourselves lowers our pulse rate, blood pressure and stress hormones in our body. Compassion reduces psychological distress, increases well-being and lays the foundation for mental and spiritual healing.

In this retreat you will learn to gain an inner awareness and experience compassion towards yourself through Buddhist contemplation.

This Buddhist contemplation technique, will be taught in a modern psychological context, making it easy to learn and implement in to everyday life.

Dharma Talk

Opening the Door to Understanding
"Dharma talks are conversations and knowledge sharing sessions about meditation and Yin Yoga, helping you unlock new perspectives on life and connect more deeply with yourself.
Master Markus and Karin will guide you through each layer of meaning, so that you can find inner peace."

What is contemplation

Listen to Your Breath, Listen to Yourself
Meditation is not just about sitting silently; it's the art of slowing down to feel each breath, each movement of the mind.
Through meditation, you will learn how to observe thoughts without judgment, thereby recognizing underlying tensions and learning how to release them.

The Contemplation Cycle

The Steps of Awakening
Mindfulness:Clear awareness of what is happening in the present moment – breath, sensations, thoughts – without being carried away by them.
Understanding: Clearly comprehending the nature of thoughts and emotions, to see more clearly what is truly important.
Compassion: Practicing self-compassion, learning to accept oneself gently.
Wise Action: Bringing what has been learned into daily life, choosing to respond more gently and profoundly.

Practice

Touching Peace
Mindfulness practice while sitting, standing and walking: Meditation is not just about sitting still, but also about clear awareness in every step and every movement.
Contemplation practice while sitting: Settling into stillness, feeling the peace in each breath.
Rest practice while lying down: Relaxing the body, releasing tension, and restoring energy.
Yin Yoga practice: Opening and regenerating the body through gentle, deep postures.
