Simon Krohn: Stand Strong in the Storm

When we are under pressure, the primitive part of our brain goes into alarm mode - it registers threats everywhere and triggers reactions like tension, fear, and overthinking that easily reinforce themselves and make our anxiety greater than the situation warrants.

Yoga tradition distinguishes between the pain that simply belongs to life and the extra suffering we inflict on ourselves in our attempts to protect ourselves. Drawing on his new book "Stand Strong in the Storm", Simon Krohn explores key insights and concrete techniques to break this pattern - methods to stop the self-reinforcing cycle and turn down the inner drama when life is hard.

The lecture requires no prior knowledge of yoga or a current crisis - it is for anyone with an emotional life. Simon Krohn holds a master's degree in philosophy with a specialization in Indian philosophy and has taught yoga, meditation, and breathing for over 25 years. He is trained in body therapy and has worked with elite athletes, business professionals, soldiers, and psychiatric patients. He also led the development of the free app "RO" about young people's mental wellbeing, which has been downloaded over 70,000 times.
