Astanga Yoga Workshops
Astanga yoga workshops are suitable for both beginners and advanced students. They follow Patanjali's Yoga Sutras'
well-known eight limbs of yoga philosophy (astau - eight; anga - branch, leg, limb), taught in the tradition of
Petri's Guru, Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, and his grandson, R. Sharath Jois of Mysore, India.
In the light of Petri's own Astanga practice, learning and experience, he has designed these courses to
cover extensive yoga practice and philosophy. The student achieves a sense of wholeness through the practice
of poses (asanas), energy-enhancing breathing (uijayi- pranayama), and gazing points (drishti) and energy
locks/muscle control (bandhas), which leads to deep concentration (pratyahara) and meditation (dhyana).
This method is known as Astanga Vinyasa Yoga, as taught by Pattabhi Jois. Longer workshops and retreats
(Thailand and Swedish Lapland) cover several other aspects of yoga, such as reciting mantras, studying
Sanskrit, the classical Indian language, and learning Ayurveda, sister science to yoga. Petri's aim is
to teach his students in a peaceful, individualised way while keeping to the powerful, disciplined and
traditional practice of physical and mental development.
