Ashtanga Yoga Berlin - Retreat and Teacher Intensive by Ashtanga Yoga Berlin

Ashtanga Yoga Retreats with Grischa

Advanced Ashtanga for All!

An ironic comment "don't get stuck" on a supposedly "advanced" asana form. Is Yoga about a leg behind a head? Ekapadashirshasana.Are you an Ashtanga enthusiast and want to discover the magic which turns “posture practice”, “breath work” or “meditation exercises” into actual Yoga?

How can yogic qualities develop in your practice if you don’t fully understand what they are? In just one week, you’ll learn how to ground your practice in the wisdom of the original yogic scriptures. This simple paradigm shift will awaken your inner guru which will guide you towards the transformative results described in these texts.

As a practitioner, you’ll gain the clarity to ask the right questions and seek out the guidance of a true teacher. As a teacher, you’ll learn how to provide that wisdom and support to others.

My mission is to restore Yoga as a blessing for the world, a common good as essential as water and air.Β  Let us re-establish it as a powerful remedy against selfishness, greed and irresponsibility in our own behavior. On the basis of honest transformation, we can inspire one another to reduce social and ecological suffering. As a value driven community we can become part of a desperately needed social transformation in times of the global crisis that many of us contribute to against better knowledge.

True Yoga enthusiasts are rare and invaluable, and it is an honor to explore this journey with you. Those with limited financial resources can contribute what they can, while those with higher incomes are encouraged to give more.

About Grischa

Grischa has been teaching traditional Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga since 2001. He opened Berlin’s first Ashtanga Shala “Aṣṭāṅga Yoga Berlin” in 2004. His main teacher was Richard Freeman. Read more…

Grischa Steffin from Ashtanga Yoga Berlin

The principles taught in his retreats are the result of a continuous analysis, refinement and improvement process.

His teaching is guided by the goals of Yoga as described in the classical scriptures such as the Yoga Sutra, Bhagavad Gita and other texts. Samadhi is the key tool to Yoga. It arises from selfless service (ishvara pranidhana) only, never from a hedonistic, selfish lifestyle.

In 2019 Grischa founded the “Yogis for Climate Justice” movement. He is also working on re-establishing Yoga as a non-profit social movement that it was until just a few decades ago when capitalists took over.Β
