The yoga sessions will be organized and conducted by Dr. Barbara Krampitz (www.Nalanda-Trainings.de). Morning and evening sessions will be held, adapted to individual conditions. The yoga style is described as Hatha Yoga, modified with creative and sometimes subtle spiritual and therapeutic impulses. Barbara Krampitz draws from extensive years of experience in yoga and worldwide travel.
The schedule will be coordinated with the sightseeing activities. Practicing together is possible for both men and women. Without judgment or explanation, everyone is free to take their own time.
In the early morning and evening, we will practice yoga and prepare ourselves for intercultural encounters (e.g., with Zoroastrians). At the end of the day, the yoga practice concludes with conversations or moments of silent reflection/meditation in the desert, bringing a sense of completion to the day of interactions and sightseeing.Without judgment, each individual adjusts as per their needs and remains part of the community.
