Bio from Natascha Bühlmann
Seit ihrer Kindheit treibt die Neugier Natascha Bühlmann die Frage nach WER SIND WIR an, neue Ufer und Türe zu erforschen.
Nach der Grundausbildung zur kreativen Dekorationsgestalterin suchte sie Antworten in den 90iger Jahren in Indien, Nicaragua, Australien, Ägypten u.v.a. Yoga, Meditation, Spiritualität und die grosse Liebe zu Menschen halfen ihr, sich in diesen Bereichen tiefer ausbilden zu lassen.
Seit 2008 unterrichtet Natascha die CANTIENICA®-Methode und den fliessenden ChiYoga. Die achtsam ausgerichteten asana wie auch fundierten pranayama Übungen sind ihr wichtig. Mit der Kashmiri Shivaismus Philosophie lernte Natascha noch tiefer in das Wesen MENSCH einzudringen. Ihr Kernwerk ist das Meditieren, Philosphieren und Reflektieren alten und neuen Texten. Zusammen mit ihr wirst du neue Tools erhalten, wie du deinen Unterricht zu einem Unikat mit Tiefgang spannend umsetzten kannst.
