Ashtanga Retreat for Intermediate

About the weekend

This Intermediate Retreat is held between the 18 and 21 of July 2019 in the deep forest of Sweden. It is the perfect choice for anyone who wants to deepen their practice, because it will be tailored to the individual and will work more closely with techniques, tools and 'tricks'. These will be taught in a way that can be easily absorbed by the student and applied to create progress in one's personal practice even after they have left the retreat. We will explore how to progress safely and effectively within our Asana practice. Time-tested methods and insights will be shared to bring the practitioner to the next level in his/her practice. We will work on the body as an integrated system, whereby we will train ourselves to see weak linkages within the practice and how addressing certain aspects of the practice create ripple effects through all other aspects. The purpose of the retreat is to have fun exploring our practice, deepening our relationship with ourselves and learning from each other. We will also explore how we can bring the asana practice and the other aspects of yoga into life to ignite a process of selftransformation. The Intermediate Retreat includes 1 theory class a day, alongside 1 practice class and 1 workshop. You will be going deeper into alignment, and also progressions. Focus will be on how to progress quickly, safely and effectively within the practice. It will cover hip-opening, back-bending and inversions. The retreat will finish with an Acro Yoga to have fun and bond.

About Rohil

Rohil grow up in India and began his journey into yoga by coming into contact with meditation 7 years ago. In a quest to find his true Self, he visited many masters and guides from different parts of the country. Soon the realization dawned that the real Guru is within, and other masters are simply mirrors. A year later he began to complement his meditation practice with Ashtanga-vinyasa. He has spent long periods of time over the past few years with his teacher, Ajay Kumar (sthalam8) learning Ashtanga in the traditional Mysore-style. Soon afterwards he began to teach, feeling the need to share the sacred practices that have brought about so much peace and fulfilment in his personal journey.

His unique style of teaching goes beyond simply the physical practice. The nurturing, yet challenging environment created in his classes pushes his students to tap into their inner potential. His intention is to bring about lasting inner transformation through asana practice. He believes that yoga is not simply a physical practice and strives to highlight the philosophies that underlie these rich and sacred traditions. Using yoga as not only a tool for physical transformation, but also to effect deeper mental and spiritual change.
