Britta von Tagen, USA

 

Britta von Tagen has been teaching Nia since 1995. She teaches the first three levels of Nia training; White Green and Blue Belts worldwide. She brings the sacred art of storytelling to all of her Nia classes as a way for people to go deeper into their imagination and creative process of life. When Britta is not traveling she has been learning the fine art of simple carpentry as well as teaching Nia to children and Nia in the water. If Britta is not teaching at her studio, you will find her hiking in the mountains and soaking in the natural hot springs.

Amir Jaan

Amir’s fascination in the White Tantric Temple Arts began over 25 years ago. These are energetic practices that establish, strengthen, and sustain optimum health; physical, mental, and emotional. Amir’s years of teaching with the general public, charities supporting people in recovery, young offenders, and private consultations for those with particular and/or special needs, have contributed to the breadth of his experience.

 

Amir’s specialist knowledge in the field of Humanology has forged him into a powerful instrument to assist those with a desire or need to approach character and health reformation, in an organic, safe, and self healing way. His many years of teaching have refined Amir’s intuitive observation and sensitivity to what is required in each moment for each of those present in the theatre in which he shares his work.

 

Amir’s own ongoing, personal inquiry and public investigation into yogic science, physical and spiritual anatomy and the way they all work together have led him to develop a fusion of yoga practices. These incorporate exquisite music and cross- pollinate complementary practices from a variety of wisdom traditions. The practices are both experimental and experiential; producing a practical and functional toolkit to help mitigate the stress and tension of modern life. It is a practice that is simple, achievable, sustainable, and effective. It is important to Amir that his classes are accessible and available for everyone regardless of tradition, experience, age, and physical ability.

 

Yoga Classes with Amir

 

Friday 19:30-20:30: Wu Chi – Without Limits

Step into the weekend with a sense of Being Unlitimed.
The words ”Wu Chi” Mean ’Without Limits” and is represented by and empty circle that symbolises the infinite nature of pure energy before it takes form.

 

Saturday 14:15-15:45: Yindalini Tantra – Kaizen Medizen

In this series of workshops, Amir will explain the subtle, delicate and sophisticated but potent way that his unique style, which he calls – Yindalini Tantra – opens you up to the potential for deep physical, mental, emotional and spiritual transformation. Learn to Move in through & beyond the senses abilities into the stillness and silence of the forever Now.

 

Sunday 13-14: YouRu – You Are the Light

You Are the Light – You R U – You are your own Guru
The times of looking for a guru outside of ourselves are over – true self-reliance is the key. Meditation, yoga, mantra, mindfulness, prayer and affirmations are good starting points. However life itself has to become our continuous and ongoing spiritual practice.

Carina-Maria Möller

 

I am in an ongoing exploration about how conscious dance and movement can support people’s embodiment, creativity and health. Since 1988 I’ve been working with groups (drama, voice, movement) and since 2004 I work full time with Lifedancing.

I have my background in acting, singing and working as a theatre pedagogue within the tradition of physical theatre (Jerzy Grotowski/Sören Larsson and Roy Hart Theatre/Jan Rådvik). In the field of conscious dance I’m trained by Berit Hague. Other important impulses have come from Gabrielle Roth, Chameli Ardagh, Thomas Jordan and Sally Kempton.

I have BA in conflict management and I have worked with organisational development. I am a qualified Life coach, graduated at Strandska Utvecklingshuset.

I am 59 years old, I have two children, two bonus children and four bonus grandchildren. My base is in Gothenburg but I also work regularly in Germany and in Greece.

 

Lifedancing with Carina-Maria

Saturday 9:15-10:45: LifeDancing

Your dance, your way.
For you who never have danced, for you who always have danced.
You will explore how free dancing and movement can help you to a deeper, body centered presence. Du will strengthen your ability to sense your body from within (instead of looking at it as an object from the outside).
When you are at home in your body, it will be easier to let go into your dance and to meet others.

Nia with Anna

Sunday 10:15-11:15: Nia – Form & Freedom

Form and Freedom, Nias call to Yin and Yang. You are the creator of your Nia experience.

Through the form we can open new doors to creativity, new body sensations, movements and mental patterns.
