Handpan
Discover the magic of the handpan
Discovery lessons for beginner players
Do you wish to experience playing the handpan in a one-on-one setting? Are you wondering if you would like to start playing this instrument as a new hobby? Are you already convinced, yet don’t know how to start? You’ve owned an instrument for some time but you feel stuck, like you are not making any progress?
Then you might consider taking a (re-)discovery lesson with me!
I offer a playful and fun way to discover the instrument and advice to (re-)connect with it.
Together we find some grooves, melodies and chords that you can further explore on your own.
Instruments are provided or you can bring your own.
Rate: 1h private lesson 70.- CHF.

In the “First touch” and beginner workshops, I accompany you on a journey where you learn about the history and structure of this Swiss instrument, you discover and apply touch techniques and play your first grooves, melodies and chords! We play together in a group of maximum of 5 participants.
No previous musical knowledge is necessary, just your curiosity! The handpans are provided by Echo Sound Sculpture. You will be able to play handpans in different scales and materials.

We invite you to take a break.
With the body, in movement, through the breath – out of the mind and into your own being, into your presence – together.
Engadin – a place of power – inspiration – stillness.
The crystal-clear air cleanses the mind, and the entire valley has long attracted sports enthusiasts, creatives, and free spirits from all over the world.
Feel the energy of the Engadin, let your gaze wander across the mountains and forests, breathe in the clear air, and allow yourself this time out.
We look forward to welcoming you in the Engadin and to sharing this time together at the yogaTAGEn Engadin.

Moonyoga meets Handpan 🎵✨
A Moonyoga practice by Christina, accompanied by Damien’s magical handpan sounds. With extra long Shavasana for a beautiful sound journey ending.
About Moonyoga:
The Moon in the cosmic sky represents our feminine values, our inner world and our emotions. She influences our yoga practice with the zodiac, which directs a certain focus on a physical and energetic level. Accompanied by the respective element and adapted to the moon’s energy (waxing, we tend to have more power – waning, vice versa). This results in a deep, holistic yoga practice that moves the entire body. The asanas are performed with great attention to anatomical correctness. So that issues can be resolved on a physical and energetic level.
