Ashtanga Yoga Retreats with Grischa
Advanced Ashtanga for All!
Deepen your practice of Asana, Pranayama and all the other layers of the traditional Ashtanga Vinyasa method from Mysore. By integrating the teachings of the original scriptures, you will understand how these components can turn mere exercising into an actual Yoga practice.
Grischa draws from 25 years of Ashtanga practice and 23 years of teaching. Skill in practice and teaching is key in Ashtanga. Even small imperfections add up when repeated. By understanding the deeper meaning of Mulabandha, you overcome the root cause of all alignment problems. It becomes your unfailing guide in practice and teaching.
Maybe you have an idea about Yogis and spiritual teachers in India. But it is not about the looks, is it? It is not about calling something a “tradition”! It is all about the attitude, a deep sense of service and responsibility in a tradition of selflessness. My mission is to restore Yoga as a universal blessing—an antidote to selfishness, greed, and irresponsibility. By embracing genuine transformation, we can inspire one another to reduce social and ecological suffering and contribute to the global change our world urgently needs.
This journey is for the rare and invaluable true Yoga enthusiasts who are not in Yoga for selfish pleasure or profit.

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…
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. We are trying to re-establish Yoga as the open, non-profit, social movement that was until just a few decades ago when the capitalistic mindset took over and re-defined Yoga as an excuse for an utterly selfish way of life for rich people.
