Resilient durch den Arbeitsalltag – Mit Yoga & Mentaltraining

For everyone who wants to strengthen their resilience through movement, relaxation and many practical “life hacks”.

Resilience is a key competence for mental health and professional stability, and in today's world of constant change, high information density and growing uncertainty it is becoming ever more important. In this course you will experience a dynamic learning process. We deliberately combine active yoga sessions, relaxing and strengthening Yin Yoga, practically proven knowledge and everyday methods to help you build your stress tolerance and your resilience.

You will learn what significance resilience has in social and professional contexts and develop your own strategies to move through your (professional) everyday life with greater strength. To make this week a lasting experience for all the senses, we have deliberately chosen a beautiful place that supports your regeneration and your ability to concentrate.

Always very close to the current topics and challenges of the participants, we shape together a week in which you learn a great deal about yourself, about the connection between body and mind, and about your personal challenges and how best to approach them.

The course offers a mix of different yoga styles (Flow and Yin) and mental training with elements from the Zürich Resource Model, NLP, systemic coaching according to Dr. Gunther Schmidt and much more.

Learning objectives of the event: The overarching goal of the event is to empower participants to lead their lives in a resilient and active way in their working and family life, to minimise feelings of powerlessness and resignation, and thereby to have a constructive and positive influence on the community around them and on society. They learn how to strengthen their inner balance and how to pick themselves up again and again, especially in turbulent times.

After the week, they can deal with stress in their professional and private lives more calmly, take many practical “life hacks” for everyday life with them, and have ideas for how to relax through daily movement sessions.

To this end, participants learn:

• The 7 pillars of resilience and what they can do for each pillar in everyday life with little effort.
• How to steer their own perception more consciously. In working life this leads to greater flexibility with growing and changing challenges. Especially in our fast-moving times, flexibility in thinking and acting is an important prerequisite for resilience and for successful professional action.
• How to establish positive habits in thinking, acting and movement. This keeps them healthy and capable of performing, and allows them to inspire others around them.
• How to constructively dissolve and reshape their own unwanted behaviours. Anyone who can reflect on and change their reactions can actively keep increasing their own motivation, even when conditions are not optimal.
• How to take their own needs seriously and understand them. Participants grow their social competence, including by learning to say “no” in order to manage their own energy.
• How to understand and regulate their own emotions. This makes participants more resilient in working life and able to handle stressful phases with greater calm.
• How the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems work together, and how to train a healthy interplay between them through daily yoga sessions. With Vinyasa Flow yoga they start the day actively and strengthened, and with Yin Yoga they specifically activate the parasympathetic system, which in normal everyday life often gets too little attention.
• 6 days full of learning fun and enjoyment in Crete, right by the sea, in a beautiful place, in a group of 12 to 18 participants.

Recognition as educational leave in Brandenburg has been applied for, but it usually only arrives at the earliest 3 months before the course starts. Baden-Württemberg, North Rhine-Westphalia, Bremen and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern unfortunately have conditions that make recognition of our courses impossible. If you come from Saxony-Anhalt, please get in touch. Then we will submit the application.

Professional value: The seminar is recognised as professional education. For this reason, some employers want to know what professional benefit the seminar offers. Why could the seminar be relevant for you professionally? Here are some ideas for your argument towards your employer.

Resilience as the key to clarity, energy and success: In a working world full of speed, complexity and constant change, resilience is an essential competence.

Communicate better, set clearer boundaries: You strengthen your social competence, learn to say no respectfully and present yourself more confidently, including in a team.

Activate your motivation from within: You gain more influence over your inner experience and stay engaged even when things get difficult.

Understand your body and nervous system better: You learn how breathing and movement can help you deliberately regulate your stress level and find balance.

About the seminar venue: The course takes place at the beautiful Seminarzentrum Levinthos, right by the sea. You can also stay there. If all apartments in the seminar centre are booked, the Filoxenia across the street offers further accommodation within walking distance.

The village of Lentas: Lentas is a small, picturesque village on the south coast of Crete. The quiet village owes its name to the unusual shape of the rock formation of an offshore headland: seen from the sea, it looks like a huge reclining lion, “Lenta” in ancient Greek. In the village there are several family-run tavernas open towards the beach, as well as various small hotels and guesthouses. “Mass tourism” is definitely a foreign concept here. Lentas is still very peaceful, and time here moves considerably more slowly than anywhere else on the island.

On the other side of the “lion”, the offshore headland, lies the even smaller village of Dyskos, where wild camping on the beach is still tolerated to this day. There are also a few tavernas and some accommodation options here.

Arrival: Because Lentas is a popular destination for independent travellers, someone had the clever idea years ago of setting up a website where arriving guests can register to share a taxi. There are also plenty of inexpensive car rental companies on Crete. If you would like to rent a car, it is best to pick it up directly at the airport.
