Gentle movement, conscious breath, deep relaxation: why yoga complements fasting so well โ with a breathing exercise and a short morning routine.
Classic Buchinger fasting recommends light activity as part of the cure (movement). Yoga fits perfectly, combining movement and relaxation.
Conscious breathing, gentle stretching and mindful movement help many through the week โ and with typical discomfort like restlessness.
Sit comfortably, lengthen your spine and follow the circle.
The longer exhale calms the nervous system โ ideal in the morning or before sleep.
Sit cross-legged, close your eyes, five deep breaths.
On all fours, round and arch your back with the breath โ 8 rounds.
Hips to heels, forehead down, let go for one to two minutes.
Lying down, drop your knees to one side, then switch.
Finish relaxing on your back โ then get up slowly.
While fasting: gentle over strenuous. Get up slowly after lying down.
No inversions if dizzy.
Yoga is one of the most popular parts of our fasting weeks. Sessions suit fasting guests, beginners and experienced alike. Together with walks and plenty of rest it makes a soothing break.
Outside the fasting weeks you can join our morning yoga. *Please note: yoga times may change.
