Our dear friend and teacher Max is coming back to Hamburg for a weekend workshop series to share his methods and breathwork techniques with us. The different sessions can either be booked as single sessions or as a full weekend workshop.

A single session is 40€, the whole weekend 180€. There is an Early Bird Rate available until October 10th at 165€ for the full weekend.

All levels are welcome, no previous breathwork experience is required.

Friday, December 16th, 19:00 - 21:00h 'Total Relaxation - Max Strom's renowned rest & renewal'

Learn and experience how to relax deeply. We will begin with a talk by Max, then move into a very gentle movement sequence that is simple yet profoundly effective. In the second half of the workshop we will focus on floor postures and breathing patterns to release the mind and body from long-held stress and tension that impedes our happiness and our ability to sleep. This special event will help you rest like you have not in a long time. Bring your mat and writing materials.

Saturday, December 17th, 09:00 - 11:00h 'Opening the body – and finding your Emotions'

This movement workshop begins very gently and then builds momentum. At the apex we move directly into a special sequence of postures that opens the internal body that induces an emotional sense of release, brings the mind into stillness, and the body into a new state of energy. This class is both challenging and very healing. Bring your mat.

Saturday afternoon 13:00 - 15:00 'Some Doors Open Only from the Inside'

Emotions affect our breathing – for example: crying and laughing. But did you know that changing the pattern of our breathing influences our emotions? In this workshop session we will have some time for talking but mainly time to let our breath work for us and go beyong what we can rationally grasp to release our congested emotions from stress, depression, anxiety or PTS. We will learn an innovative method, simple techniques and see incredible results: The practices you will learn in this workshop take you to a calm and inspired state with new depths of insight. This workshop will include lecture, standing and seated breathing exercises. Bring writing materials. Important: This class is not advised if you are pregnant as the breathwork might be too intense for your body at this stage of your life.

Sunday morning 09:00 - 11:00 'Inner Axis Yoga and the Power of Intention: On & Beyond the Mat'

Just as hydrogen and oxygen, depending on how they are mixed together, can produce either fire or water, posture practice, intention and breathing can produce either “just exercise,” or it can revolutionize our lives. This graceful Inner Axis workshop begins very gently and then builds momentum. At the apex of heat and breath we move directly into a special sequence of postures, which bring the mind into stillness and the body into a new state of energy. This class is both challenging and very healing.

Sunday afternoon 13:00 - 15:00 'Finding Happiness And Meaning In The Digital Age'

Technology has expanded at such a rate that nearly every aspect of our world has been affected — yet there has been no corresponding expansion of personal happiness. At the deepest levels of human fulfillment, it seems that we grossly overestimate what technology can do for us. In response, this special workshop reveals an internal, human technology capable of empowering the most meaningful areas of our lives and leading us to deeper levels of happiness.

The morning will consist of a lecture followed by a full practice of Inner Axis, breath initiated movement and yoga postures. This afternoon lecture will go more deeply into the essential elements of this event, such as:

Transformational Breathing The Beginning of Emotional Healing Dynamic Meditation Reversing isolation and loneliness Organizing our emotions Optimizing digital technology Wisdom Beyond the Mat Lifespan tools Writing and discussion
