Ha-Tha Yoga Workshop in Bern: The Magic of the Sympathetic and Parasympathetic System

​

​

Join us for a transformative Ha-Tha Yoga Workshop in Bern! We’ll explore the balance between body and mind through backbends, forward bends, and breathwork, guided by Ha-Tha Yoga principles. This workshop takes place on 07.06.2025 and costs CHF 125. 

​

What Are the Sympathetic and Parasympathetic Nervous Systems?

The autonomic nervous system regulates many unconscious processes in the body and has two main branches:

- **Sympathetic Nervous System (SNS)**: Known as the “fight-or-flight” system, the SNS activates during stress or high energy demands. It increases heart rate, directs blood to muscles, and boosts alertness. Backbends stimulate this system, enhancing energy, confidence, and vitality.

- **Parasympathetic Nervous System (PNS)**: Known as the “rest-and-digest” system, the PNS promotes relaxation and recovery. It slows the heart rate, improves digestion, and creates a sense of calm. Forward bends activate this system, reducing stress and fostering inner peace.

Balancing these systems is key to overall health. The SNS energizes us for life’s challenges, while the PNS helps us rest and recover. An imbalance can lead to chronic stress or fatigue.

​

Why Backbends and Forward Bends?

These poses work with opposing muscle groups and the nervous system to create harmony:

- **Backbends**: Activate the sympathetic nervous system by opening the chest, strengthening back muscles, and energizing the body. Key muscles include the erector spinae, latissimus dorsi, trapezius, and hip flexors (like the iliopsoas).

- **Forward Bends**: Engage the parasympathetic nervous system by stretching the hamstrings, glutes, and lower back, while relaxing the chest and shoulders. These poses calm the nervous system and quiet the mind.

​

The Ha-Tha Yoga Connection

In Ha-Tha Yoga, “Ha” represents the Sun—active, energizing, and linked to the sympathetic nervous system. “Tha” symbolizes the Moon—calming, restorative, and connected to the parasympathetic nervous system. This workshop in Bern harmonizes the Sun and Moon energies within you.

​

What to Expect

- Backbends to invigorate and energize your body and mind.
- Forward bends to relax and restore your system.
- Pranayama to bridge activation and relaxation, creating deep balance.

Through these practices, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of your body and nervous system, leaving the workshop in Bern feeling centered, refreshed, and serene. Let’s embrace the magic of Ha-Tha Yoga together!
