Ashtanga Yoga – Intro to Intermediate Series Workshop

In this workshop we will explore the first half of the Ashtanga yoga, Intermediate series, otherwise known as Nadi Shodana (nervous system cleansing). This will be an opportunity to further your knowledge of the practice, including, asana and breathing technique, the nature of the sequence, integrating vinyasa as well as an understanding of the philosophy of yoga as an exploration into greater awareness.

The topics will include, but are not limited to:
• How the Intermediate series strengthens the nervous system and reflects our state of being
• Cultivating mindfulness in difficulty and using good technique to facilitate the asanas
• Practical step by step techniques of the Intermediate series poses up to Pincha Mayurasana
• Learning the proper vinyasa to create a meditative state in the practice
• The power and importance of the breath
• Learning to stay motivated and inspired through highs and lows through the longterm

The workshop is appropriate for those who are already practicing full Primary series and are working on assisted dropbacks with a teacher. Or are at the beginning stages of the Intermediate series. There will be something to learn no matter what stage you are currently working on. 

This workshop will be taught in English and Swedish.

Lenny Kravitz and his band delivered massively last night in Stockholm! 🔥❤️ And as always, music is best experienced live. I’m grateful to finally have seen him in concert. And together with Laruga | Yoga Educator who absolutely loves him made it a great night. Lenny’s band is amazing and the opener DE’WAYNE is definitely someone to look out for.
If you haven’t yet and get the chance to see Lenny live, do it!!

All I can say is…. WOW!
Going to Mysore 🇮🇳 and Goa 🇮🇳 this year. Ending with a 10 day unplanned vacation due to the conflict in the Middle East, with a quick stop in Africa, is one for the books.

Reminding me of those first 4-5 trips to Mysore. Your thoughts, feelings and emotions going through a never ending spin cycle. Reflections, realizations, conclusions and takeaways stacked on top of each other.

Trying to explain this trip/retreat to someone is virtually impossible. How do you verbalize the unseen ? That which happens inside, the processes and insights that emerge over a period of time ? And that doesn’t end just because you left. But continues to give months and sometimes years after the fact.

Then there were the meetings, new face and old faces, equally important. But some stand out more than others. People that I will keep in my heart forever.

As always, a massive thank you to Laruga for bringing me/us along for the ride. It’s been a privilege to have a front row seat your development as an Educator for the past 15 years or so. Others may try to copy and paste, but it will never be the same. You are truly one of a kind ❤️

As pretentious as it may sound, grateful, surprised, challenged and abundance is the three adjective and noun, or the words if you will, that I will summarize this experience with!
