Sat	Ellen Urban Aerial Yoga Aerial Yoga approaches gravity in a playful way. The fabric is your partner. Giving your body weight to the cloth, release, trust. Flexibility, stretching and strength are core ingredients. Experience yoga as you know it in a new way. Aerial Yoga is fun. It trains all muscles. Stamina, softness, mobility, body tension and balance are improved. Aerial Yoga protects you in the fabric as in a cocoon. Every session ends with a deep relaxation in the fabric. Aerials are available - we'll interchange!	Katrin Freundorfer Mindful Hatha Yoga Practising Yoga together for an hour. Listening into your body, exploring the changing game between calming-down and moving. I am Katrin, 32 years old and a yoga-entusiastc psychotherapist. I am also a certified yoga teacher although currently my everyday life leaves no space for teaching. So, the more I look forward to our lesson together. No experience necessary, but comfortable clothes are helpful.

Space for exploration, flow, playing... with the Tango topics: encounter and contact. Proximity - me + you + all around us. We explore contrasts: Leading or following, space or tinyness of moves, speed or slowliness, detail or the big thing. Out of the contrast rises the "as well as". Let's broaden our habit move patterns, experience new aspect for re-integration in our Tango.
Mon	Ellen Urban Aerial Yoga See above	Anna Maklewska Body Awareness (1) This series of exercises can make your brains sweat. We will play with imaginary balls in our body, hike through invented waters, look for our center in different circumstances, keep our own autonomy and travel up and down by a massage. Your newly gained body feeling will help in both the Tango and your everyday life.	Ulrike von Bonn Open Role - swapping roles (2) Invitation and reception Release! "Listening" to each other Ochos
Tue	Iris Koppelent Moving morning meditation Clearing from the night and for the day. A guided meditaiton to awake the fascies leading into Vinyasana Flow & Silent Sitting. Mamy years of experience in physiotherapy, trauma therapy, craniosacral therapy, Continuum Movement and neuro-affective Yoga therapy.

Margarethe Peggy Bohmann Breema - deep relaxation A fascinating and simple, but very deep body work with inner relaxation. A traditional Kurdish therapy for with or without discomfort, who want to experience the healing part of being touched. Mind, feeling and body are brought together in order to strengthen your vitality and bring your body into a harmonic balance. We work in mindful, empathic partner sessions on the floor. Please bring a mat and a you need to lie comfortably.	Andrea Savage Right in the middle and no-one cares Using our hips and their skills in Tango. An inspiration for dancing smoother. We playfully explore new ways of deliberately using the hips and learn that many things just get actually easier. I've been dancing Tango for 22 years and also teach it in my school "Tango 11". For 12 years now, I teach a new lab here in the PHANTASTango! camp.
Wed	Iris Koppelent Moving morning meditation See morning sport Tuesday	Amrit Dirks Breathing for Deeper Connection with ourselves and others This laboratory will make you more aware of and connect with your - and your dance partner's - breathing. We use ancient breathing techniques as well as couple meditation from Kundalini Yoga. First we work on our breath individually and then we meditate in a group with another person. Being a yoga teacher myself, I experienced the deep impact of these breathing exercise on my dancing. I am happy to invite you to this journey into breathing. With or without partner. I look forward to meeting you there.	Ulrike von Bonn Open Role - swapping roles (3) Ronda! Small and big steps Breaks!
Thu	Iris Koppelent Moving morning meditation See above	Anna Maklewska Body awareness (2) For kids and grown-ups. On our journey from the top to the floor and back, we will explore different ways and possibilties. We learn again to use alle extremities to support our body and release our back following the Tango vertical position.	Nathalie Mann ContacTango - Let´s play tango! In a playfull way, I offer concrete tools from the contact-impro dance technique, that lead to soften my body, sense my axis, and tune with my partner to play with it: How to let go out of the axis with the flow, and play with kinetic energy? How to modulate my tone to respond the gravity and the change of dynamics? How to allow myself to make "errors" that I can use to open new doors in creativity, and learn from it?!
Fri	Simone von Maxen Feldenkreis - Awareness through movement. "If you know what you do, you can do what you want." (Moshe Feldenkreis) - indulge yourself in dancing through easyness, erection and improved coordination. This method addresses the nervous system, focusses on the learning itself not the stretching or strengthening of singular muscles. Still, power and stamina grow since needless (power) efforts are minimized. I am a nonmedical practitioner , specializing in naturopathy in my own practice in Berlin Neukölln. I am very happy to be part of the camp.	Nathalie Mann BMC - Body Mind Centering A journey into the subcutaneous universe. We'll get to know these multidimensional structures enclosing all other structures and forming a continuous, multi-layer network. Fascies react to intention and come, therefore, ahead of the muscle's move. If you grant yourself some time for sensing, feeling and touching, you can find micro moves of agglomeration and relaxation. This will free your muscles giving you more easyness and elegance. I am a certified trainer in Body Mind Centering. This innovative approach to health and body work guides me through my being in the world.

Sat	Simone von Maxen Feldenkreis - Awareness through movement. See above	Myria Sprenger Breath and Heart Meditation Leading and following by your breath. For half an hour we enter the realm of the breath and heart meditation. Following we explore our ability in leading and following with regard to the experience of the meditation and our breath. We deeply sense into "ourselves" and our partner. In the dance we sometimes are tense and we are not connected to our breathing. Especially if we are too headstrong or distracted. Then, this little toolkit can help us to connect again to our breathing and stay with it while we dance.	Jonas Maria Joma We have something in common One moment / one place / some seconds / one feeling / a situation / spontaneous / dreaming / fullfilling / pleasing us and making us happy / together it is more / being and experiencing together.
