Astanga Yoga - upcoming workshops:

Immerse yourself in Astanga Yoga and deepen your knowledge, understanding and skills on our in-debt workshops!

The purpose of the workshops is to provide clarity and understanding about how Astanga is practiced. You will also gain insight and experience with the essential elements that define Astanga yoga, making it a deep inner practice. You will gain a deeper understanding of the structure and way of practicing this unique method.

At the workshops, we will go into detail with how to perform the various asanas (yoga poses). How breathing must be coordinated with the individual movements, in and out of the poses (vinyasa), and what steps you can take when working in challenging postures.

You learn how to move in and out of the poses and how to create stability, depth, ease, focus and optimal positioning according to your body and capabilities. You get technical and tactical information about how to move, stand, sit and go deeper into different yoga poses in a smart and intelligent way.

We will also look at how Astanga fits into the larger context of the teaching, insight and experience of yoga.

Astanga yoga is an amazingly beautiful journey that develops and shapes the practitioner on all areas of life. However, there are no shortcuts in Astanga, the process requires time and work. However, the result is invaluable. For those embarking on this journey, the workshops can provide clarity and understanding of which route is most useful to follow on this path towards health and understading.

Breath, bandha, dhristhi & movement

Astanga primer – the basics!

In this workshop we take a deep dive into the core elements that provide the framework for the experience of the Astanga practice - breath, bandha, dhristhi and Asana. Everything that makes it distinct and a deep, inner practice. It’s one thing to know what these words mean, and another to have an experience of them.

This fundamental way to be mindful and move, that incorporates the timeless wisdom and methodology of yoga, into a psychical practice, is what makes the practice so unique and intense.

Solhilsen - bevæg dig med åndedrættet

Lær at udføre solhilsen med lethed og flow

Men hvor godt kender du dem og hvordan kædes stillingerne og bevægelserne sammen med åndedrættet, så det flyder i uanstrengt flow. På denne mini workshop gennemgår vi alle stillingerne og ser på metoder til at få kædet sekvenserne sammen, så der opstår flow og lethed i udøvelsen.

Stabilitet, styrke og balance

Stå med ynde og styrke

I Astanga yoga er de stående stillinger det grundlag, der opbygger styrke, balance og stabilitet. I de stående stillinger lærer du at balancere, finde kernestyrke og forbinde dig til jorden, mens du rækker, strækker og vrider kroppen. Vi ser på hvordan du kan finde mere lethed, komfort og stabilitet og god jordforbinder ved hjælp af god positioneringsteknik, åndedræt og bandhas.

Stability, strength and balance

Standing with grace and strength!

In the Astanga yoga practice the standing poses are the foundation of the practice that builds strength, balance and stability. In these poses you learn to balance, find core strength and connect to the ground while reaching, stretching and twisting the body. We look at ways of finding ease, comfort and stability while connection to the ground using good positioning technique, breath and bandhas.

The strength from the practice comes with time. As with any discipline, steadfast effort and enthusiasm help to move us on the path. Keeping in mind that the physicality of this practice opens doors for strengthening a positive and encouraging self-dialogue, and our ability to observe and witness our mind.

Appropriate for all levels of practitioner, even if you have no experience with Astanga. Workshops are held in Danish or English, if there are participants who do not speak Danish.

Tags: Anchoring, intention, coordination, pause, setup, go, bidirectional, opening, stability, introverted, ease, spirals.
