Nahual: A mystical creature, a guardian spirit believed to reside in an animal such as deer, jaguar, whale, bird, monkey or others, and to act as a personal guide in Mesoamerican native traditions.
Our fascination for animals is as ancient as the first glimpses of culture. We recollect and mirror parts of ourselves in our relationships to animals: as companion pets, as symbols in our art, as images of ornament in our intimate space, as archetypes in our inner worlds.
This Yoga class –composed of flowy and invigorating vinyasa sequences, breath awareness, contemplation and relaxation– is aimed at exploring our connections to Animals. Through conscious body movement, breath and sound, we tap into the subtle layers of our being, where we may find out a path to our wild inner spirit guide.
In Cooperation with B.Yoga

Institution
The Basel Historical Museum with its three sites is widely regarded as the most important museum of cultural history on the Upper Rhine. It collects, conserves, records and researches objects and artefacts of relevance to our cultural heritage for future generations, tells visitors the story of Basel, and is a place for discourse and engagement with both present and future.
With over 3,300 objects to its name, the Basel Historical Museum is in possession of Switzerland’s largest collection of musical instruments. The ca. 650 European instruments, spread over three floors, span five centuries of music history from the oldest drum dating from 1571 and a highly ornate viola da gamba by Joachim Tielke (ca. 1704) to the Weber Unika Orchestrion of 1925. The 24 cells of the former prison serve as showcases in which visitors can admire instruments while calling up countless samples and additional information on an interactive screen. While touring the museum you will therefore hear all sorts of music, from the familiar to the bizarre.
