PITTA. A Pitta type has an average figure and is agile. They are

Be and Stay Healthy
In Good Form
Health starts with correct nutrition – all experts agree on this fact. Ayurveda places particular
significance on daily nutrition, which is recognised as a healing power and a key aspect of
health promotion. Alongside the quality of nutrition, individual constitution and the strength
of the digestive system also play important roles. What nourishes one person can make
another person ill. What type am I? Which foods strengthen my health and vitality? What
should I avoid? An individual nutrition and health consultation gives comprehensive answers
and tips for improving your health.

Yoga –
the Path to Self-Discovery
At the Ayurveda Resort Sonnhof, competence and individual
diversity shape the yoga programme. The comprehensive
philosophy incorporates effective, physical training with mental
exercises, as seen in Ayurveda. Yoga is used as a tool to
alleviate physical symptoms, such as insomnia or migraines, as
well as effectively combating mood swings and inner unrest.
As a result, yoga exercises feature alongside Qi Gong and the
active outdoor programme as a daily aspect of all Sonnhof
cures. In addition Yoga Specials, such as yoga in combination
with meditation and dance, are offered at specific times
during the year. Other specials include MediYoga, a programme
developed by trainer Marion Grimm-Rautenberg, and a yoga
weekend with Ursula Henn to discover your energy potential
through Asana and Pranayama.

of all things.

Yoga is more:
High importance is placed on uniting body and soul through
concentration, contemplation and meditation. This is combined
with exercises incorporating conscious breathing patterns and
movements.

Advantages of yoga:
» Develop your strength
» Reduce your weight – generally or focussed on specific areas
of the body
» Improve your figure
» Alleviate symptoms such as migraines, insomnia,
headaches, asthma
» Eliminate depression through many different means » Yoga can prevent
illnesses, stimulate blood
» Deal more openly with yourself and others flow, stabilise circulation
» Accept yourself as you are and improve general
» Unite body, mind and soul health. «
The meaning of breathing – Pranayama
Breathing should be deep and calm. Only the link between
physical movement and breathing enables the body to
release tension. Negative thoughts, stressful situations and
unpleasant feelings make breathing irregular and shallow.
Today our thoughts are constantly jumping from one thing to
another; the Indians would say like monkeys in a tree. As a result
it is often truly difficult to remain focussed – we are distracted by
people, noises, images and smells. This constant dialogue takes
place without us even noticing it. This only becomes evident
with peace and time to consciously collect yourself. » The inner dialogue «
