Spinal Waves + Spinal Synergy  

Saturday 11.04.26, 12:00-2:00 pm with Heidi Ittner

Did you know that we’re actually capable of moving our spines in a wide variety of ways, with remarkable precision? And what positive effects this has—not just for our backs? And above all: how incredibly good it feels?

Instead, many of us spend most of our daily lives sitting as if glued to our seats, staring at screens for hours on end, and perhaps eagerly practicing forward and backward bends in yoga. But that is only a small—and rather static—part of our natural range of motion.

In this workshop, we’ll therefore experiment with various natural and harmoniously flowing movements of our spine—movements that can energise you, strengthen you, and make you more flexible without stressing you out or exhausting you.

We’ll try out the (not without reason!) popular “Spinal Waves” and “Spinal Synergy” from Simon Borg-Olivier’s 5-Dimensional Synergy Flow—a system based on the core elements of yoga, qi gong, dance, martial arts, and functional anatomy.

So whether you’ve never done yoga or have been rolling out your mat for years: You can use this to make your movement practice—and your everyday life—not only less prone to injury, but above all more nourishing, effective, and sustainable.

Curious? Open to a different perspective and lots of joyful experimentation? Then book your spot now!

Costs: 350€ (USC/ Wellpass +25€)

about Heidi

Heidi has been teaching Ashtanga Mysore at Hairu since the very beginning. The much more personal teaching style known as “Mysore style,” which is unique to Ashtanga Yoga, has long been close to her heart. It allows her to bring together and incorporate all of her experiences: her own 20+ years of (Ashtanga) yoga practice and training, her bodywork (Osteothai and Craniosacral) and her psychological training.

And yet, learning never stops: that’s why she loves to constantly explore the wide world of health, movement, and yoga with fascination and curiosity—which is also reflected in her teaching. A very fundamental influence now comes from Simon Borg-Olivier and his 5-Dimensional Synergy Flow System.
