Zen Movement Retreat

Three days of movement training based on Active Flexibility, Hand Balancing, Strength, Healing Sound, and an easy understanding of the Fascial System as our inner web, embedded with cacao & tea ceremony, meditations, and theoretical seminars. All of this guided and taught by Susann Kind & Jan Jirák. Bio Susann Kind “Every moment has its own enlightenment, every failure is a chance to grow, we have the greatest gift called life and the pleasure to enjoy - so take it!“ Susann incorporates these teachings in a very heartwarming, sometimes funny, and authentic way to her students and also for herself. After studying at university integrative health promotion, 13 years of yoga teaching practice, and several yoga teacher trainings, fascia trainings and other trainings on other topics, she still views everything through the eyes of a curious child. Her way of teaching is like life, you never know what you get at the beginning but in the end, it’s you, yourself, and a heartwarming smile after experiencing new ideas of movements and energy in class. Susann loves to guide the students through a sound healing meditation at the end of her class to feel the connection and vibration of every cell. She is grateful for all the lovely people surrounding her, especially her two children, who ground her and allow her to become every day more authentic in any kind of way. This gift she wants to pay forward and it is the sentiment that is felt as a student in her class. Bio Jan Jirak I do not believe in the power of will. I believe in real motivation and effortless „not painful“ way of training. Jan’s path has started with an acrobatic and intuitive form of dance widely known as Break Dance which he later applied at Academy of Performing Arts in Prague as an expressive tool. After some accidents and injuries, he had no other option, either to stop or to dig into injury prevention and body & mind connection. So he began with analytical training of Hand Balancing & Flexibility at Academy of Modern Circus in Copenhagen, Denmark. When he finished 5 years of Art/Movement education he came back to Prague to teach a subject called Movement Laboratory at Nonverbal Theater Department of the Art Academy where he and his students research different kinds of movement styles from both biomechanical & expressive point of view. At the same time, the #PragueHandstand project was created to help people to get knowledge about professional handstand training in the Czech Republic. Jan has been also working with different Yoga teachers, Calisthenics teachers, and Martial Arts teachers, learning more about function of various kung fu styles and it’s application in Handstand and, in general, Movement Training.
