FOR PEOPLE WHO KNOW ASHTANGA YOGA! (At least you should know the 1. Series until Navasana)

About Vijay:

“As a Divine blessing, I received the practice of yoga at an young age, and have been a sincere practitioner of its principles ever since. I completed the four sequences of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga. Eventually, I was initiated into meditation, which is the main practice of Ashtanga Yoga. Dhyana, meditation is the practice, and Samadhi, evenness of mind is its result. One of the great thinkers once said when asked "Who are you?" to which the reply was "That is what I am thinking". This quest has been the road to walk, the practice for me, to reveal its path. I realise Yoga is a practice of befriending our mind, so that life can be in peace, and living at ease.“

Vijay Kumar has is Ashtanga Yoga Shala in Mysore, India, teaching on an regular basis through out the year. He has a lot of students from all over the world. You can visit his Website: www.ashtangasaadhana.com.

past Workshops & Retreats:

During this Workshop we will bring the focus on the point of the Mysore-style methodology, which by its nature honours each student’s constitution, body, emotions, personal development.

Mysore-style is the equivalent of a private master class with the support of group energy. When a student finds his or her 'yoga home', indeed, it is like coming back home.

Using different techniques you will find your own understanding and the right way of practising without changing the core of Ashtanga tradition.

You will gather various tips about how to balance your weakness and strength, how to work with pain, how to develop stability.

How to keep your body safe and slowly develop the healthy flexibility in your forward bends, strength in your backbends and stability in all inversions.

All levels are welcome !!!
