Stitch Yoga – with Jana Bochet

The Stitch Yoga workshop offers a unique combination of handicraft and meditative exercises, which are performed with the whole upper body. By embroidering mindfully, we not only immerse ourselves in the work, but also perceive ourselves differently. Through reflection on different levels a deeper understanding of the work with thread and colours is gained.

The mindful, because slow embroidery has many positive effects on our own perception and lets the handicraft appear in a new light. In this way, embroidery can offer a space for reflection and retreat to which we can always find our way back. During the course, relevant topics and questions from philosophy will also be discussed.

Jana Bochet:
“I was born and raised in Slovakia, where I learned embroidery from my mother as a child. During and after my studies of philosophy at the University of Zurich I started to deal more and more with the aspects of needlework. In my courses and workshops I offer a new approach to the (often underestimated) work with thread.”
