Ashtanga Retreat Intensive June 2024 (Brandenburg, Germany)
Overview
The Ashtanga Yoga Mysore practice can bring forth amazing initial changes and exciting experiences. But all this is nothing in comparison with the value of true Yoga practices as a fascinating tool for a deep mental transformation.
Over the past decades the meaning of the term "Yoga" has become totally distorted and raped as a capitalistic marketing concept. Let's not get fooled and learn to understand the meaning of Yoga on all levels: in ethics, self-study, asana, pranayama and mental techniques.
The yogic scriptures provide the missing link between practices and meaning. This retreat provides the missing link of translating the seemingly abstract und theoretical explanations of scriptures into extremely useful tools. Not only for your daily practice, but more importantly for your long-term yogic path. In a systematic way we analyze all components of our phenomenal Ashtanga method, as well as the meaning of pranayama and and the huge complex of the mind according to the ancient teachings.
Breitenteicher Mühle is the perfect location for an Ashtanga Yoga Retreat like ours, that's why we keep coming back since 2019. We can full concentrate on the practice. The property is surrounded by a forest like natural park, there is plenty of water (it's a water mill!), animals that you can hardly find anymore, all extremely calm and lush green. The ancient water mill has been reconstructed beautifully with traditional ecological materials such as clay and wood. The practice hall is very spacious and full of light, ideal for the Mysore Practice and the workshops all day. The team is super great and food ist phenomenal!
UPDATE: A generous swimming pool with a panoramic view over the fields just appeared (not to forget about the beautiful Sauna).
In this intensive we discuss the most important yogic text, Patanjalis famous Yoga Sutra, in addition to the core concepts of other texts such as the Bhagavad Gita. This changes all you know about Yoga and fundamentally transforms all aspects of your practice - and maybe life.

For practitioners
This retreat is open for all practitioners with prior Mysore Style experience. The deep understanding of breath, bandha and good alignment taught in this training will transform every single asana and your whole practice. You will understand the root causes of all major difficulties and injuries in Yoga practice and how to overcome them with ease.
For teachers
Learn all about the practice and teaching on asana, pranayama, philosophy and meditation. You will learn how practitioners can be assisted in a safe and precise way. You will understand how I recognize and improve various alignment patterns from the beginner to the most advanced practitioner. Every morning you can try out the patterns for yourself, integrate it with your personal background and refine your teachings skills.
Only good education matters, not numbers of hours, months or years. 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 totally meaningless certificates. Your values as a teacher is yourself, your open heart and your experience. You can’t buy being a Yoga teacher.
