A Somatic Journey to Reflect, Release & Begin Again

Come for a 1.5-hour journey designed to gently close the chapter of the past year and step with clarity into the energy of the new one. Through somatic movements, guided meditation, reflection practices and a deep gong bath, we will create space in the body and mind for renewal.

About us: Sedef enjoys holding space for mindful practice, so that we can follow our bodies’ signals and explore what happens inside us. With a background in science, she’s curious about how different techniques can work for us. She shares the simple “why” behind what we do, so the practice becomes something people can truly feel and understand. Her work is simple and honest: creating space for people to reconnect with themselves and the insights that naturally arise.

Karolina loves to explore sounds and frequencies and work with sound for people. Through ambient sets and sound baths, she creates a supporting and calm environment for people to meditate, get grounded, and explore their thoughts and emotions arising during the experience.

Thai Yoga Massage Workshop
with Eva

Studio Wedding
10 January 2026 | 15:30 – 17:30
30€ per person | 55€ per duo

Join Eva’s workshop and sink into a warm, nurturing atmosphere that invites you to relax and feel at ease. Thai yoga massage is a centuries-old tradition rooted in yoga practices. It combines weight and balance, working with body lines and gravity. As a form of bodywork, it uses acupressure, stretching techniques, and joint mobilization to support deep relaxation. It also includes energy work, focusing on the body’s energy lines to activate its self-healing abilities — ideally preventing illness before it arises.

The massage is practiced in various positions. For the January workshop, the receiver will be mainly in supine and seated positions (lying on the back and sitting). We will work in pairs, and you can either come with a partner or join alone — pairs will be formed before we begin.

120€ | Bring a friend: 99€

Herz über Kopf – raus aus dem Kopf, rein in den Körper. In dem Workshop lernen wir alle Grundlagen des Handstands. Wir beginnen mit Aufwärmübungen für den ganzen Körper, vor allem aber für Schultern und Handgelenke. Durch Körperbewusstseinsübungen lernen wir einzelne Körperteile wie die Hüfte, die Brust oder die Füße gezielt anzusteuern. Dieses Körperbewusstsein hilft uns dabei auch über Kopf unser Gleichgewicht halten zu können. Außerdem kräftigen wir gezielt die Schultern und die Körpermitte (Core). Ein weiterer wichtiger Bestandteil ist die Mobilität der Schultern und der Beine. Gerade Letzteres hilft uns später dabei, fortgeschrittenere Handstandpositionen oder -aufgänge zu lernen.

Der Workshop richtet sich sowohl an alle, die noch keine Erfahrungen mitbringen als auch an Menschen mit ersten Vorerfahrungen, die tiefer in das Thema einsteigen möchten. Alle Geschlechter, Körperformen und Alter willkommen!

Feldenkrais Workshop: Injury Prevention & Recovery
with Adi Levinson

Studio Neukölln
01 June 2025 | 11:30 – 13:00
15€

Crawling Back to the Roots of Resilient Movement: Whether you’re an athlete, dancer, therapist, or simply someone who loves to move — this workshop offers a fresh and intelligent way to understand recovery and prevent injuries at their root.

Before we ran, danced, or lifted — we crawled. Crawling is one of the most fundamental building blocks of human movement. Yet as adults, we rarely return to this early pattern, even though it holds powerful keys to how we move, coordinate, and heal.

This Feldenkrais-based workshop offers a unique approach to injury prevention and recovery — not through stretching or strengthening, but by reconnecting with the deep neurological and biomechanical intelligence of crawling.

Intermediate Icarian Intensive
with Adrian (Acrofroggy)

Studio Neukölln
26 April 2025 | 14:00 – 16:00
35€ | 60€ duos | Spots limited to 12 participants only!

The idea of this intermediate-advanced workshop is to refine your technique to get higher and safer Icarians, as well as to challenge yourself with funky and spicy Icarians. Depending on the number of participants, we will make a quick review of the fundamentals to clean our tempos and basic throws. And we will think about how both partners can help to reach your maximum height and accuracy. We will also look for height to help with the funkiest Icarians we can imagine.

The group size is intentionally kept to a small number to give the attention of a private lesson in a workshop-style session.

Somatic Dialogue Workshop
with Buse Çetin

Studio Neukölln
03 May 2025 | 14:00 – 17:00
40€ | Spots limited to 12 participants only!

Somatic dialogue is a gentle technique that helps you connect with yourself through non-performance-driven improvisation. It’s a practice you can do alone or with a partner, where interacting through movement opens up new possibilities and allows you to surprise yourself by relating to another.

Most of us carry a constant monologue in our minds, often without realizing how tiring it is for our bodies. In this workshop, we’ll embody these inner monologues, allowing them to be fully seen, and explore how to transform them into a dialogue.

Prepare to connect deeply — with the floor, with yourself, and with others. We will use hands-on techniques to build dialogue. Please wear comfortable clothes, warm socks, and come as simply as possible, avoiding jewelry or tight pants that might distract you. No dance experience is required. Everybody is welcome.
