We are very honored to welcome Petri to Utrecht for the second time for a 4-day workshop.
Petri is an internationally known and respected Ashtanga Yoga teacher. He is a devoted student of his Guru, Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, and was authorized to teach Ashtanga Yoga in 2001 by Guruji. Petri is careful to pass on his Guru’s exact teachings. Petri is co-owner and director of Ashtanga Yoga Helsinki, one of the world’s largest Ashtanga Yoga Shalas, which he founded with his friend and colleague, Juva Javanainen, in 1997. Sri K Pattabhi Jois blessed the school to teach the traditional Ashtanga Yoga method. In his yogic path Petri has studied with many respected Ashtanga Yoga teachers such as Derek Ireland (his first certified teacher), Radha Warrel, Gwendoline Hunt, Lino Miele and Eddie Stern, in addition to R. Sharath Jois and Sri K. Pattabhi Jois. Petri focuses on integrating healing and therapy with yoga, meeting student’s individual needs and guiding their progress. Petri’s yoga pose adjustments are gentle, effective, therapeutic and, according to some, almost magical, and originate (besides his own practice and teaching) from his past work as a traditional Finnish folk healer and naturopath. His friendly, relaxed behaviour and intuitive perception give an open, energetic, and meditative atmosphere to his classes.
Friday, 15th
6:30-8:15 & 8:15-10:00 Ashtanga Mysore Class
14:30-15:30 Workshop: "Students and Teachers Role in Practitioner Centered Ashtanga Yoga Approach".
We are moving from the ”authoritative and highly controlled” teaching method towards the practitioner centered and safer (physically and mentally) teaching method. What does it mean for the students and teachers?
15:45-16:30 Chanting: Healing and philosophical mantras
16:30-17:30 Workshop: Breathing to the silence (based on Pranayama and mind work)
We create the space for the body with the Yoga Asanas. Lengthening, stretching, rotating, twisting, pushing, pulling, balancing..
Is that what Sage Patanjai meant with Yoga, or the old sages like Vasistha or Yajnavalkya? The body control, yes, but where the mind dwells in the Yoga practice? Are we able to hear the breathing, sense the energy flow inside the nadis - energy channels. Are we able to sense the holiness, the quiet force of the Universe?
