Balance

July 30th – August 5th 2017

The Workshop

The importance of balance in all aspects of art and design cannot be overstated. And in life at large, balance is fundamental for a healthy existence. We don’t always have control of what goes on around us, but we can try to control our inner life and balance the trouble outside.

This one week project with design and yoga expert Franziska Kessler and designer Sebastian Bergne explores the meaning and relationship between balance in mind, body and object. Activities in each area will address issues of balance, and participants will have the opportunity to transfer their experiences from one area to another. It will be an exciting and holistic journey to discover how balance can be achieved.

The workshop introduces and practices methods of Kundalini Yoga. It is suitable for beginners and more experienced practitioners alike.

Franziska Kessler Switzerland

Franziska Kessler is a regular in Boisbuchet. She loves to create spaces and finding the form within the nature without boundaries. Her professional history in the area of design and creativity is manifold.

As a former lifestyle professional for magazines such as Vogue and Elle, she is currently working as an international acclaimed design expert and interior designer for companies, hotels and private clients. Yoga is since many years an integral part of her life. It means a completion and reinforcement of one’s bodily and mental abilities. In the combination of yoga, meditation and creativity she sees an enhanced potential in all that one undertakes.

What began as a rather private concern with Yoga, soon brought insights that resulted in a professional commitment to it. She leads regularly international Yoga workshops and classes.

Franziska is a certificated and trained Kundalini Yoga teacher by Gurmukh Kaur Khalsa and her husband Gurushabd Singh Khalsa. Like them, her teaching is deeply inspired by this ancient technique and spirit of Yoga. She also holds a Reiki master degree to complete the understanding of working with energy.
