Kyrgyzstan - The first yoga trip in the land of nomads (2013)

A couple from Dresden who really want to sleep in a yurt - my Hungarian friend who loves horse riding - and an unknown Swiss woman join me on this adventure.

The nomad is a wanderer who follows the times of nature and carries his "house" with him. Modern city dwellers are also increasingly exposed to mobile thinking and behavior - and are often on the lookout for (their) arrival: resting in the midst of all the vicissitudes of life, enjoying the richness of a moment, knowing what is truly essential... Yogis have often used the mountains to retreat and be "a little closer to heaven".

The challenge for us city dwellers: we will only practise yoga in nature. And thus encounter the five elements - which connect you with your original nature...
