Mehana Gift
November 23-29, 2022
I absolutely enjoyed the Mehana Gift retreat, it was just awesome! I relaxed mainly psychically; physically too, although this was in an active way.
Kamila
I would like to express my thanks to everybody for this opportunity to participate in the unique healthy-yoga retreat “Mehana Gift” held in the ravishing place “Anglicka Sezona”.
For me it was an exceptional experience to pass one week with all these awesome people who like to learn more, e.g., about psychosomatics.

What did the participants say about Kristina’s classes?
“I liked the diversity and alignment with the program of the day”
“I appreciate her professionality, uniqueness”

The topic of day 2 was PERCEPTION
Physiotherapist Petr Bitnar taught how to use one’s own hands, inspect the body, make a diagnostic and release different musculoskeletal and visceral ailments with the human touch and other physiotherapeutic techniques.
Kristina and all her team, they are not just doctors, talented artists, exceptional sport athletes and dancers, they are mostly visionaries to me. They found a way to see things holistically and how to bring together their rich personal life’s journeys, experiences and extraordinary abilities to the very healing approach. They all are very wise and strong personalities who have a lot to tell. They inspire by their strength and modesty.

Day 4 was the day of STABILITY
Classes with Filip Burget, a trauma-surgeon, were focused on prevention of a skeletal injury and on different non-invasive methods for quick recovery. He explained acupressure points for first aid and instructed the group in different basic musculoskeletal maneuvers.
At the end of Filip’s session the participants could experiment several apneic breathing techniques suited for free-divers.

The topic of Day 5 was STRENGTH OF THE BODY AND MIND
Long-distance ocean swimmer Abhejali Bernardova joined the group and captured everybody with her motivation talk. This was followed by meditation exercises for focusing and calming the mind.
Afterwards, in midst of the sunny and chilly day, all participants had an opportunity to experiment their determination in an outdoor natural pool.
Despite a thin ice layer on surface, most of the group enjoyed an invigorating bath.
What did the participants say about Abhejali’s motivation talk and meditation?
“Wow! Don’t have a word!”
“Her talk was resonating with my heart, I just enjoyed every single word. Her “never give up attitude” was completely resonating with me and her speech about the joy and that little child in our hearts was so kind and warm! She was very authentic throughout her speech.”
“She gave us good tips and courage.”
In the afternoon, dancer Jana ignited the inner fire with her Latino dance class.
Day 6 was about INTEGRATION
It was the moment to find a common line, which connects all the experienced body-mind techniques.
Dance classes were dedicated to the modern dance and improvisation.
In the afternoon, two participants shared their teachings: Michaela led a physio-dance movement class and Ivana gave another interesting acupressure workshop.
Kristina concluded every day’s program with her calm, relaxing and stretching yin yoga exercise immersed in pleasant music and scent of her essential oil blends.

Hopefully we will meet again during the next year!

Aktivity Mníšek
Tanečně-jógový seminář
Mníšek pod Brdy, 12.11.2022
Na sobotním workshopu se mi líbila kombinace s tancem, jako základním projevem emocí, radosti, odměny.
Ráda bych Vás poprosila, abyste lektorce Janě znova velmi poděkovala mým jménem.
Tanja
Líbila se mi zmínka o tom, že to, co celý den děláme jsou aktivity, které nám pomáhají k tomu býti zdravými a navozují samoléčebné procesy, např i dýchání, za tyto techniky jsem moc ráda!
Velmi oceňuji asistování Kristiny v pohybu, párkrát nás obcházela a pověnovala se tak každému z nás.
Tereza
V sále ZŠ v Mníšku pod Brdy proběhl celodenní pohybově-edukační seminář pod vedením Kristiny Höschlové a profesionální tanečnice Jany Bagarové.
Byl jedním z komplexních seminářů, kdy lektoři vedou účastníky ke správnému dýchání, zdravému držení těla i pohybovým vzorcům. Navíc si každý mohl vyzkoušet jednoduché taneční sestavy, sekvence jógových ásán a prvky qi gongu.
V Kristinině podání, každý pohyb dostává smysl a dává mi možnost objevit v sobě neznámé. Posunuje mě to jak fyzicky, tak i duchovně. Pak cítím radost a štěstí.
Tanja
Sobotní seminář byl velmi obohacující! Krásně jsem se protáhla a odpočinula si. Radostná nálada byla cítit i od Kristiny a Jany, což k celkové atmosféře velice přispělo!
Chválím též práci se světlem, hudbou a vůní během semináře!
