Let’s Just Move

an intro­duc­tion to Dyna­mic Mindful­ness

“Non-doing can ari­se within action as well as in still­ness”
— Jon Kabat-Zinn

Hello & Welcome

We are very hap­py that you are here!
We invi­te you to join us for an embo­di­ment work­shop: Let’s Just Move, an intro­duc­tion to Dyna­mic Mindful­ness

What is dynamic mindfulness?

This non-dog­ma­tic con­tem­po­ra­ry yoga style is a sci­ence based phy­si­cal prac­ti­ce roo­ted in Zen Bud­dhist wis­dom whe­re we work with the body as it is and bring awa­re­ness to the move­ment as well in still­ness. Dyna­mic Mindful­ness was foun­ded and crea­ted by Tat­ja­na Mesar in 2010 in Ber­lin.

About the workshop:

This 2,5hr work­shop will intro­du­ce you to Dyna­mic Mindful­ness prin­ci­ples. Through this embo­di­ment prac­ti­ce we will let move­ment be gui­ded by breath. We will gui­de you in brin­ging inten­tio­nal awa­re­ness to breath and move­ment. Say­ing ‘hel­lo’ to the body as it is in the pre­sent moment. Tog­e­ther, we explo­re ‘doing non-doing’ in moti­on and in still­ness.

What to expect:

• Intro­duc­tion to mindful­ness in moti­on and still­ness
• Co-crea­te and calm and recep­ti­ve sta­te
• Let move­ment be gui­ded by breath
• Expe­ri­en­cing the body as it is
• Moving from ‘Doing’ in the direc­tion of ‘Being’
• A chan­ce to meet like min­ded peo­p­le
• Enjoy­ing all of it!

More about Katya

It was curio­si­ty that brought Rijk in cont­act with phy­si­cal yoga prac­ti­ce back in 2012. After years of exten­si­ve Vin­ya­sa and Ash­tan­ga prac­ti­ce in Ams­ter­dam he moved to Ber­lin whe­re he began to feel dis­con­nec­ted with the strict approa­ches to move­ment and the way tea­chings were chan­ne­led.

Curio­si­ty again led him to the Dyna­mic Mindful­ness school whe­re in 2021 he finis­hed the Foun­da­tio­nal Tea­cher Trai­ning with Tat­ja­na Mesar . In trai­ning he lear­ned that befri­en­ding the body, invi­ting ‘play’ in move­ment and sim­ply pay­ing atten­ti­on to ari­sing sen­sa­ti­ons within the body allow for a sus­tainable & joyful prac­ti­ce.

He con­ti­nues his edu­ca­ti­on with Tat­ja­na. When he is not tea­ching or prac­ti­cing you will find him stu­dy­ing the body in the realms of bio­me­cha­nics and ana­to­my, wal­king and occa­sio­nal­ly you will find him doing not­hing, just sit­ting. As a trai­ned com­po­ser for elec­tro­nic music, Rijk is intrigued by the sonic land­scape. As a move­ment and medi­ta­ti­on tea­cher he is intrigued by the body and its inner land­scape.
