At the Yoga, Gatka and family camp, of course yoga is very important. Early at sunrise you have the opportunity to take part in Sadhana. The ambrosial hours are best time to do Yoga and start the day. We practise the Sadhna in the tradition of Kundalini Yoga. Afterwards the participants join the others and enjoy their almonds and Nanaks tea. Hatha Yoga unterrichtet Nanak Dev Singh auf dem “Melonenhügel” in der strahlenden Morgensonne. Wir nennen es “Sun Streching”. Verschiedenen Asanas lösen Blockaden, erweitern unsere Bewegungsfähigkeit und zeigen uns, wo

About seven o’clock everyone is woken up by Nanak Dev shouting „Gatka Camp, wake up, tea is ready!“. He puts the music on and the day starts. There is fresh Yogi tea and almonds for the bleary-eyed participants. The yogis rise to do sadhana on their own. Then the power walk starts: three times round the park up to the gate at a fast pace. Each focusses on their own mantra, chanted quietly to the rhythm of their footsteps. Yoga on the „melon hill“ Straight after the walk everyone meets

A very popular part of the yoga-, Gatka- and family camps is archery, or rather ‘intuitive’ archery. It is based on hand-eye coordination. This means that while the eyes observe, the brain subconsciously guides the hand into the right position to hit the target. We know this hand-eye co-ordination from everyday life, without being conscious of it: driving a nail into something is based on the same principle. Our teacher, Thies, teaches us this ability and shows us how we can program our brain through repeated practice. If for instance

Die altindische Kampfkust Gatka bildet neben Yoga den zweiten Schwerpunkt auf dem Camp. Es basiert auf dem Grundprinzip Verstand, Körper und Geist zu harmonisieren. Die meisten Sikhs waren ursprünglich Bauern, die in der Lage sein mußten, sich mit einfachen Gegenständen, auch aus dem Alltag, zu verteidigen. Die Grundlage für Gatka war die indische Kampfkunst Shastar Vidyaa (Shastar = Waffe, Vidyaa = Essenz/Kunst). Die Ursprünge reichen 7000 Jahre zurück. Shasta Vidyaa entwickelte sich ebenfalls aus den altindischen Traditionen wie Ayurveda oder – Yoga. Gatka ist eine der 64 Künste der alten

Time for the family is important at the camp. Everyone can spend as much time with and for the family as they wish. You will sleep in a tent. The nights are very clear and quiet, which we townsfolk do not know any more. You can see stars, the owls hoot and early in the morning the singing birds give us the feeling of being far away from civilisation. In fact it’s only two minutes by car to the next supermarket. Once arrived, each family finds a suitable spot for
