Experience lightnessBuchinger fasting & hiking with Jana Seifert
Fasting hikes, yin yoga & inspiring input on blood sugar balance – an autumn week in the eastern Ore Mountains where everyday life grows quieter.
A week in which everyday life grows quieter
Treat yourself to a week just for you. During Buchinger fasting with Jana Seifert you go without solid food and gain time instead: guided fasting hikes every day through the autumn forests of the eastern Ore Mountains, soothing yin yoga, relaxation and practical input on nutrition and metabolism.
Jana combines her knowledge as a graduate nutritionist with her experience as a fasting guide and yoga teacher. The focus is not on doing without or on performance, but on calm, clarity and your personal path to more lightness – with ideas you can easily take home into everyday life.
Arrive, let go, set off
Tap a day – the hiker walks along and you see what awaits you.
Sample schedule – the exact order and times of the sessions (including yoga) may change.
Fasting, movement and knowledge – all included
Jana guides you through the week mindfully, empathetically and with sound knowledge. Included in the price:
Breathe along – and find your calm
Fasting makes you receptive to stillness. In yin yoga you hold gentle postures for several minutes; in autogenic training you learn to relax yourself with simple formulas. Try it right now: follow the circle – breathe in as it grows, breathe out as it shrinks.
The times of the yoga and relaxation sessions may change.
