Atscha Yoga, the holistic path to unlock your full potential
The three pillars of Atscha
Atscha Yoga extends far beyond the traditional physical yoga exercises and follows a holistic approach that integrates mindwork, bodywork and breathwork. This combination aims to develop your full potential.
Bodywork
Creates a harmonious connection between body and mind by combining traditional yoga practices with modern physiological knowledge.
Breathwork
Access your life energy, increase your emotional and physical health and intensify your spiritual experience.
Mindwork
Here you dive deep into your consciousness. Mindwork offers you insights into your inner motivations and accompanies you on the path to realize your true purpose.
