During the Wellness weekend in December we had the pleasure and the honour to host Maria Barmpagiorgi and to have our first Kundalini Experience. Alessandro, Luana and Mauro from “Il Cerchio di Aluma” joined us and with a guided meditation and a sound bath created an atmosphere of safeness that stayed with us during the whole Kundalini Experience.
It is hard to describe what happened and find the words to express the intensity of the experience. The only way to find out is to try it yourself!
That’s why we decided to organise a retreat of 3 days and 2 nights (8th, 9th and 10th of April) in which you will practice different forms of Yoga and meditation, you will reconnect with the essence of body movement and finally you will activate your own Kundalini energy.
All this within the unique hospitality of the Grem Bike Hostel. We will make sure to give you energy with natural healthy meals throughout the retreat and farewell you with an amazing Veg-Brunch.
Actress, and teacher of Yoga, theatre-dance and movement, she will mix up theatre and movement techniques to connect with the essence of physical expression and open the channel between the body and the emotions while having fun and getting to know each other.

Alessandro, Luana and Mauro aka Il Cerchio di Aluma
They will take you on a meditative walk in nature and, once back at the hostel, they will guide you through a deep meditation given by Luana, followed by a sound bath. They will then close the session with the Parchment Circle to share thoughts and positive intentions with the group.

Yoga teacher with more than 10 years of experience and Kundalini Experience facilitator, she will cuddle you with a Yoga Nidra session, then she will be your guide to reactivate your own Kundalini energy and, on Monday, she will leave you full of energy with the unique experience of 108 Sun Salutations.
***
Movement and Theatre
Susanna will welcome you with a first session that mixes up theatre, personal growth and movement techniques to allow you to take off the mask that we are used to wear on everyday life and get to know each other in a more authentic and playful way.
The following day she will guide you through a physical and mental awakening mobilizing the spine and the joints to prepare the body to the Kundalini Experience.
***
Kundalini
The Kundalini is an energy that we all have since we were born and that stays asleep at the bottom of the spine.
During the session you won’t have to do anything more than stay in Savasana, the relaxing posture of Yoga, laying on your back with your eyes closed and legs and arms relaxed, and let yourself feel!
What you will experience will surprise you.
But this is only the beginning, the most important part unfolds afterwards.
In fact during the following days and weeks you will very likely encounter other benefits like: stress reduction, intuitions, increased energy levels, less tiredness, more creativity, an emotional liberation, being Yourself without limits.

Meditative walk, sound bath and parchment circle
The meditative walk is a form of meditation that engages body, mind and attention. The breath, the steps and the mind synchronize. It is a mindfulness practice that requires awareness and listening, with the help of the beautiful nature surrounding you.
During the sound bath, Mauro and Alessandro, will ask you to focus on positive intentions and will guide you through an experience of meditation and deep relaxation with the aid of harmonies created by ancestral instruments like Tibetal bowls, shamanic drums and more.
The aim, besides of deep relaxation, is that of making you connect with yourself, you body and thoughts.
The closing with the Parchment Circle will allow you to share feelings and positive intentions with the group and take home with you the best of the experience.

Yoga Nidra
The Yoga of conscious sleeping or psychic sleep, works on the subconscious side of the mind which controls the conscious side.
Our subconscious record our believes, experiences, moments, reactions, words and other things that do not allow us to be fully ourselves. Yoga Nidra gives us a way to observe, accept and erase and plant the seed of what you want to bring to your own life.
It is a practice that doesn’t require physical movement. A Yoga Nidra session is the equivalent to 5 hours of sleep.
***
108 sun salutations
The one of the 108 Sun Salutation is an ancient practice that is especially recommended in moments of changes, to close old cycles and open new ones, to make our mind and body ready for the changes to come.
With this practice we stimulate the chakra of the solar plexus activating our sun, the internal fire that allows us to act an be present in our life. It is an active, continuous practice (adapting the postures to any level) to keep the life energy to its peak level. Number 1 represent the divine, number 0 the emptiness and 8 the divinity, the supreme power.
