ABOUT BODY OF WISDOM

The Body of Wisdom teacher training is a unique, holistic and practical course for humans who want to dive deeper into the practice and study of yoga and mindfulness.

​

Integrating hatha yoga, vinyasa yoga and mindfulness meditation, our 250hr training offers a supportive and progressive approach to practice that embraces both form and freedom, structure and play.

Hatha yoga cultivates postural and energetic clarity.  Vinyasa yoga brings movement, flow and ease.  Mindfulness is both the ground and the fruit of practice, deepening self-connection and bringing the benefits of yoga into our everyday lives and relationships.

​

Maybe you're relatively new to yoga and would like to deepen your practice (without teaching in mind).  Maybe you're already a teacher and want to go further, integrating new ideas into your classes and workshops.  Either way, our course will welcome you as you are, while expanding your horizons and inspiring you in new and exciting ways.

Are you curious?  Do you have any questions?  Please feel free to get in touch, we would love to hear from you.  Deutsch geht auch klar!

RENÉ HUG

Guest teacher - yin yoga

Seit 14 Jahren unterrichtet René Yin-, Restorative- und Yogatherapie in der Schweiz, Deutschland und Italien. Besonders beeinflusst und inspiriert wurdet er durch seine Zeit in Indien, im Ashram «Swami Satyananda Saraswati of Bihar School of Yoga».

Seither führtet sich sein vielseitiger Yoga Weg von Hatha Yoga, Ashtanga, Qi Gong und Pilates zu meiner heutigen Leidenschaft dem Yin & Yang Yoga, Yin Yoga, Restorative Yoga und der Yogatherapie.

SALVATORE DANIELE

Guest teacher - philosophy

For Salvatore, ultimate happiness lies in the deep understanding of who we really are and how we connect and interconnect with the world around us. In two words: investigating (our) Nature! Salva's life journey has taken many different paths; even if they might appear divergent, he has found them to be deeply interconnected. Having worked for about ten years as a full time scientist and lecturer he now dedicates more time to studying movement and meditation as well as supporting others on their paths. Merging the many aspects of life and letting them become one! This is one of the ways he understands Yoga.

FLORENTINE BRUNNER

Assistant teacher

Florentine is one of Thomas’ teacher training alumni and now teaches yoga and AcroYoga in Zürich. She loves to invite her students on a journey through the fascinating edges of body and mind, balancing movement with stillness, challenge with integration, and creative with traditional. She focuses on clear guidance in practice, while giving space for individual needs. Florentine´s passion for AcroYoga inspires her yoga practice and vice versa. With her tremendous curiosity to keep learning, growing and sharing inspiration, she sees her role as teacher as just another way to be a student.

ALBERT CASALS A.K.A. YOGAFLAKE

Assistant teacher

For Albert, the path is the goal.
He teaches Yoga and Inversions in Zürich. He is passionate about the movement and the body. Transitions and movement-awareness or movement-control, exploring while focusing and breathing are the pillars of his classes, connected to the elements and nature whenever possible and, of course, connected to the sound. His flows are in symbiosis with mixed electronic sounds.
Creativity and an always-learning-process are the key to become a better teacher.

SVEA SAUERBORN

Assistant teacher

Svea Sauerborn is a yoga and AcroYoga teacher as well as a psychologist-to-be based in Braunschweig. As a self-proclaimed yoga nerd she enjoys challenging current paradigms in the yoga world and is known for her detail-oriented, yet easygoing teaching style. Her passion is to help people feel more at home in their bodies and give them tools to approach life with steadiness, more ease and clarity.
