Deepen Your Practice, Gain Clarity, and Cultivate Awareness
In debth workshops with Eskil Schilling, SYC Level II teacher

A focused, intentional, and calm practice begins with clarity about what to do. When your purpose is clear and your awareness is focused, each pose becomes more accessible and rewarding, enriching your practice. Our upcoming workshops are designed to provide you with direction and a deeper understanding of each pose, along with the foundational principles that support the entire Ashtanga practice. You will explore how to harmonize your movements with your breath and awareness, learning specific techniques, positions, and variations of each pose within the series. Discover the correct vinyasas, breathing techniques, and movement patterns essential for each pose and the transitions between them. You will leave with a renewed sense of purpose and intention, deeper self-connection, and a comprehensive understanding of Ashtanga yoga—and the numerous benefits it offers. These workshops welcome everyone, from beginners to seasoned practitioners, as well as yoga teachers, seeking to deepen their knowledge and enhance their practice of the exceptional Ashtanga yoga method.

Breath, bandha, dhristhi & movement

Astanga primer – the basics!

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.
