ASHTANGA YOGA IMMERSION
MYSORE "OLD SHALA" STYLE: 12 PEOPLE - 2 TEACHERS!

workshop with Olle Bengtström and guest teacher 
Mikko Seppinen (www.mikkoseppinen.com)

In the early days of modern Ashtanga yoga practice in Mysore, India, Sri K Pattabhi Jois and Sharath Rangaswamy taught in a tiny room in groups of maximum 12 students at a time. In this workshop you will experience the unique combination of two teachers and a small class.

Mikko and Olle are long time friends, both breathing from the same yoga source. Their paths met in the early days of the millenium, in a dawn of a deeper immersion into the Ashtanga practice under the guidance of Lino Miele and later Pattabhi Jois. This workshop merges together  their experience and exploration of diverse directions. The weekend is a crystallization of friendship, dedication and richness of the Ashtanga tradition - an exclusive opportunity to take your practice into a new level.
Participants should have a regular practice of Ashtanga yoga. The course is not designed to teach the sequence but rather to deepen an existing practice. Group is limited to 12 students and it´s filled up at a "first come first serve" basis.

PRICE: SEK 1.500 (vegetarian dinner on Saturday included!)

THE DEEPER ASPECTS OF YOGA

a workshop with Dr. M.A. Jayashree and Prof. M.A. Narasimhan from Mysore, India.

 

 

The history of yoga can be traced back more than 2.500 years. In this workshop we will take a closer look at three fundamentally important texts for the modern yoga practitioner. The Yoga sutras, the Bhagavad Gita and the Hatha Yoga pradipika explore and discuss concepts that can be considered the theoretical and philosophical framework for the Ashtanga Yoga that we practice today and they are highly relevant for all practitioners of yoga.
Patanjalis yoga sutras was written around 500 BC by the sage Patanjali. In it he oulines the 8-fold path, (ashtau = 8, anga = limbs) to liberation. The text contains wonderful philosophical and psycological insights with valuable information that although ancient, still is highly relevant for all practioners of yoga.
Bhagavad gita,  maybe Indias most read and wellknown text, an epic story written about 200 BC. It initiates us into concepts like karma yoga, bhakti yoga and jnana yoga...
Hatha yoga pradipika was compiled and written by Swatmarama in the 15th century. It shines a revealing light, and gives greatly detailed practical information on many important aspects of yoga, including asana, pramayama and mudras.

In this unique workshop you will meet two extraordinary teachers that share their heritage in both the Indian traditional way, through chanting in call and response technique (srutti parampara), and through philosophical lectures and discussions that clarify sometimes complex ideas and concepts.
Dr. Jayashree and Sri Narasimhan are both sanskrit professors at the University of Mysore and they have spent many, many years teaching Sri K Pattabhi Jois´s yoga students, and others, the deeper aspects of yoga practice.

This workshop is suitable for all levels of students that wish to broaden their perspectives and enrich their practice. It also serves as an excellent opportunity for all teachers, or aspiring teachers, to find more depth and substance in their teaching.

We feel honoured and very fortunate to have been included in Dr Jayashrees and Sri Naramsimhans workshop tour. This will be their only stop in Sweden, so don´t miss this unique opportunity to meet two very inspiring and extraordinary teachers that offers knowledge and wisdom way beyond the ordinary!

WORKSHOP LINO MIELE

a 4 day workshop with Lino Miele

 

During this holiday weekend we are very glad to once again welcome Lino Miele to Göteborg for a 4 day workshop intensive. Lino was certified in 98 and is widely recognized due to his profound knowledge of the vinyasa system. His research into this ancient tradition led him to publish the book “Astanga Yoga” in 94, by many considered to be the ultimate manual for the Ashtanga Yoga method.  He has also been a driving force in spreading Ashtanga, both in Europe and worldwide, and has taken the initiative in starting several very successful yoga schools/shalas around the globe.
He continues his quest of spreading this system and this rare stop in Göteborg will be the only opportunity to meet Lino in Sweden in 2012.

Welcome to an intensive and exciting weekend with one of the most experienced Ashtanga yoga teachers in the world!

Important note!

• Mysore classes are suitable for students with "reasonable knowledge" of the asana/vinyasa sequences of the series.
• In this workshop the the led classes are primarily for students not familiar with the asana/vinyasa sequnces (ie "beginners") and will mainly focus on teaching the sequence up to an asana of Linos choice (part of primary only!).
• You should primarily register to either Mysore or led classes, depending on your level of experience. If you are uncertain of which classes you should choose, please feel free to contact us at info@ashtanga.se.
• If, for some reason, you would like to register to a mix of mysore- and led classes, please contact us at info@ashtanga.se for information and availability.
• The Q and A session on saturday afternoon is open for all students!
• We only accept reservations for participants regestering for 2, 3 or 4 days. Anybody wanting to register for single days will be waitlisted until 1 week prior to workshop, and then, based on availability, admitted at first come - first serve basis.
