HONOURING WHAT IS Kundalini Yoga — Santosha, Acceptance & Gratitude Sunday, December 20, 2026 | 11:00–12:30 Montez Kunstverein · Frankfurt am Main With Oscar Carrillo Honouring What Is As the year gradually comes to its close, we take some time to reflect on the experiences, changes, and moments that have been part of our lives. In yoga, Santosha is the principle of contentment, one of the five Niyamas described in Patañjali's Yoga Sūtras. It invites us to recognise and appreciate life as it is, without constantly focusing on what is missing, what could have been different, or what still needs to be achieved. This Kundalini Yoga session explores acceptance and gratitude through practice, not as ideas we need to impose on ourselves, but as qualities that can develop naturally through awareness. We begin with rhythmic Kundalini Yoga kriyas, spinal movements, and conscious breathing to awaken vitality, stimulate circulation, and release accumulated tension. The practice gradually moves from more active sequences toward pranayama, deep relaxation, and meditation. Through this balance of activity and stillness, we create space to observe our experiences with greater clarity, allowing both the pleasant and challenging moments of life to have their place. A longer meditation toward the end of the session offers time for quiet reflection, gratitude, and the simple recognition of what has been meaningful throughout the year. Honouring what is does not mean giving up on change or growth. It means learning to appreciate where we are, while remaining open to what life continues to bring.
