Ashtanga Yoga Workshop

Nothing in life comes without risk: runners are annoyed by knee problems, mountain bikers fall off their bikes and desk sitters complain of back pain. Ashtanga Yoga also has potentially annoying side effects – if you disregard certain basic principles.

The workshop lays the foundation for a healthy Ashtanga practice so that it serves as a useful tool for you for a long time and you can enjoy it with your skin, hair and mind.

Contents:

  • The most common mistakes in practice: How to protect knees, hamstrings and back
  • Effective warm-up exercises that you can incorporate into your practice
  • Build strength with jumps-through, jump-back and asanas
  • This is the role of ego and breath in your healthy practice
  • 2x 75 minutes with a 15 minute break
  • 16:00 to 18:00 a Mysore Session

NOTE: Does not replace medical treatment or advice. We lay basic foundations together and do not offer a universal remedy for physical ailments (I wish!).

Cost:

  • 30,00€ for members
  • 50,00€ for non-members

The Basic Stuff

What we practice in the courses is only part of what Ashtanga Yoga is all about. That’s why I regularly teach the Basic-Stuff Workshop. On the one hand, it is about the origin, the meaning and the practical tools for deepening your practice (Pranayama, Tristana, Vinyasa, etc.), other basics worth knowing and my personal view of the Ashtanga Yoga system: a basic understanding of Ashtanga Yoga.

The prerequisite for participation is only an existing, consolidated and independent mysore practice of at least the fundamental poses.

Participation fee: 50,00€
