Lecture with Simon Krohn: Take Control of Inner Restlessness

Stand Strong in the Storm

When pressure rises, we instinctively try to protect ourselves - but this often makes things worse. The reptile brain reacts with tension, vigilance, fear and overthinking, and these reactions can easily spiral until the restlessness feels suffocating.

In the yoga tradition, a distinction is made between the discomfort that is an unavoidable part of life and the suffering we create ourselves in trying to protect ourselves. The lecture combines insights for navigating difficult periods with concrete techniques to stop the spiral and reduce inner turmoil.

Simon Krohn is current with the book Stand Strong in the Storm (Politikens Forlag 2026) and shares key points and techniques from the book here. The lecture is for anyone with an emotional life - neither an interest in yoga nor an ongoing life crisis is required.
