About
Chris is a freelance dancer, choreographer, 500 hour RYT yoga teacher and breathwork facilitator with the Spirit of Breath Collective.
Based between Bern, Switzerland and Valle Cannobina, Italy he creates performances and formats for collective learning and exploring.
As a dance maker he has developed a choreographic language inspired by the rhythms and sounds of breath.
His projects are often developed in collective structures and co-authored with other artists and somatic practitioners.
As chrisleuenberger Yoga, Dance & Breath he offers breathwork sessions (both in person and online). In Valle Cannobina he is developing a residency for artistic and somatic research.
At this new home in the mountains, he facilitates retreats, workshops and artistic residencies combining elements of yoga, somatic dance, breathwork and listening practices in nature.
Chris’ yoga classes are based on the Astanga Vinyasa method. Individual asanas are coordinated with the breath and linked with each other like a dance. This flowing style of yoga can be quite dynamic or more meditative depending on the level of the students and the desired effects of the class.
In his classes and workshops he often includes elements of meditation, pranayama (breathing techniques) as well as sound and movement explorations.
From January till June 2024 he facilitates the bimonthly BREATH LAB at Ateler 210/PROGR Bern.
