For practitioners

As usual Ashtanga practice is open are for all practitioners with prior Mysore Style experience. This training is about fascinating core principles of the Ashtanga method that should be learnt in seemingly simple poses which paves an easy path to so-called advanced postures.Β 

For teachers

Just like in the old daysΒ I pass on all my condensed teaching and practice experience on asana,Β  pranayama, philosophy and meditation in my trainings. I will show you how I assist practitioners and how to read your students. Just take whatever you find helpful it and integrate it into your personal background. That’s how we all have learnt teaching. I will not press you into a teacher template or judge your teaching skills. I will not sell fake security in form of a certificate. Your values as a teacher is yourself, your open heart and your experience. It is not in a certificate.

Every day starts with one hour of pranayama. Unfold a deeper understanding of the subtle qualities of prana and the nervous system day by day. Rather than blindly repeating exercises, we will trace down the the effects of pranayama in order to make the breath long and subtle, to transcend the qualities of inhaling, exhaling and holding and finally to “remove the covering of light” as described in the Yoga Sutra. Experience the mental transformation process which turns exercising the breath into a yogic practice!Β 

The daily Mysore Style class is the one-on-one time, in which you learn how to link all movement in your body and nervous system to a deeply focused quality of breath. You will also understand how to apply the technical details of the asana workshop sessions in your own practice. And of course Grischa will help you to overcome individual challenges or obstacles in your practice, to get rid of given injuries and to avoid the root causes of future ones.Β 

Asana is widely misunderstand as a stretching and strengthening program. Nothing could be further from the nature and goals of Yoga practice.
We will see how asana practice is transformed into a valuable component of the Yogic path. You will understand a completely different layer of the famous “bandhas” and how to use them for revealing your inner teacher in every single pose you can think of. You will understand the deep patterns of posture rather than external techniques.

Let’s understand Yoga from the perspective of those who invented it thousands of years ago.Β 
The meaning of Yoga is not gymnastics and never was before it came to the West.Β
