SUMMARY:Prana and Apana - Ashtanga Workshop with Kai Rainer
DESCRIPTION:Awakening the Breath in Practice\nBreath is an integral element of Ashtanga Vinyasa and can profoundly reframe how we relate to our practice as a contemplative ritual. This workshop will examine the subtle relationship between the breath and the body by exploring the vayus (life force) – primarily the inhalation and exhalation\, the prana and the apana. This encourages greater steadiness and ease\, and can transform asana practice from something purely physical to deeply internal and meditative.\nWhat we will be practicing\nThis will be a guided\, practical workshop that will utilise the framework of the Ashtanga Vinyasa system during practice. We will refine asana\, breath\, vinyasa\, and perhaps look more closely into bandha and mudra.\nWho is this workshop for?\nThis is also open to yoga practitioners of all types – whether you practice Ashtanga or other Yoga ‘styles’ – and levels of experience (though familiarity with the sun salutations is recommended).\n\nWe hope to see you there!\n\nAbout Kai Rainer\nKai has been practicing Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga for more than a decade\, and has had the privilege of learning from a number of senior Ashtanga and Iyengar teachers throughout the years. His teaching integrates therapeutics\, somatic inquiry\, and breath awareness\, drawing inspiration from both Yoga traditions and functional anatomy.”

SUMMARY:Adapting a Yoga Practice with Angelika
DESCRIPTION:The Art of Sequencing and how to ‘Read a Body’\nWhat is the right practice for me? What is the right practice for my students?\nThis course recognizes the need for adapting a Yoga practice to suit different limitations and conditions. These may be as simple as a lack of time or energy. We will also examine the more therapeutic aspects of the practice and learn how to create a suitable sequence when suffering from a particular condition. Based on the wisdom of Ashtanga Yoga; this includes all eight – astau – limbs of Yoga. \nDuring many of my Yoga-teaching years I watched students who felt compelled to do their ‘full practice’\, each time they stepped onto the mat. What does a ‘full practice’ mean? \nEven the most committed students sometimes have a day when they do not feel at their best\, or they might simply have only limited time available in which to practice. It is difficult to witness those very committed students feeling emotional discomfort when they aren’t able to fulfill their usual program. What is more upsetting is seeing a student who feels there is ‘nothing’ for them to practice due to an acquired injury or some sort of pain\, and who then stays away from their practice for a length of time. This is when the old saying becomes relevant: “Yoga has to suit the practitioner\, and not the practitioner the Yoga practice”. \nIn Ashtanga Yoga we follow a set sequence of postures. We can therefore easily get the impression that we have to rigidly stick to this sequence when practicing. But we need to recognize that our needs and capabilities can change from day to day – on certain days we might like to focus and expand on a particular aspect of the practice. With the flexibility gained through Yoga – physical and mental – we can drop unrealistic expectations of ourselves. Using our skill and wisdom\, we learn to adapt the practice so that it can further serve us. \nIn this Course we aim to investigate and examine:\n\nthe foundational structure of the Ashtanga Yoga sequence; what to keep and what to let go of when amending it.\nthe difference between an energizing and a rejuvenating practice\, and how to use either.\nwhich aspects of the Ashtanga Yoga sequence creates strength and/or mobility in different body parts i.e. legs\, hips\, back\, shoulders\, arms\, core etc.\, and how to apply those when adapting the practice.\nusing selected conditions as examples\, i.e. lower back pain\, knee pain\, hip pain\, shoulder pain: – when suffering from an injury\, which parts of the practice could be challenging and maybe even worsening the condition and which parts could support the healing process.\nwhat guidelines to follow when creating a suitable Yoga sequence for yourself and for those who teach.\n\nLearning outcomes\n\nYou will gain a deeper understanding of the why and how of the sequence of Ashtanga Yoga.\nYou will be able to create a practice which suits your needs on all levels.\nYou will have a better understanding of how to continue to practice and support the healing process\, should you injure yourself.\nIf you are teaching\, you will have improved knowledge of students’ most common issues and injuries\, and how to address them in your classes.\nYou will have tools and guidelines as to how to create a suitable practice based on the Ashtanga system.\nYou will be able to creatively amend your practice should the need arise.\nIf you are teaching you will confidently guide your students to adapt their practice safely\, suited to their current condition.\nYou will foster a positive attitude towards your practice\, may it be short\, long\, simple or more advanced.\n\nWho is this course for?\nEveryone who is curious about the endless possibilities a Yoga practice offers; based on the wisdom of Ashtanga Yoga. \nPractitioners and teachers alike are invited to join. \nAbout Angelika\nAngelika has been teaching Yoga consistently for 33 years\, and is still passionate about the practice. She has guided and educated 22 groups of apprentices through a three-year teacher training. Most of the teachers at NSY have participated in this training. Others have opened their own yoga schools and are thriving in both their practice and their teaching. Angelika loves to foster close and ongoing relationships with her students\, and continues to encourage everyone she meets to practice Yoga! \nRead more about Angelika’s background.

SUMMARY:Portugal - One Week Ashtanga Yoga Retreat with Angelika
DESCRIPTION:“Nestled at the foot of a wild mountain\, just one kilometre from the unspoiled Atlantic beaches\, the Convento de Cabanas sits within a timeless seven-hectare estate where remarkable architecture meets an exceptional natural setting. A crystal-clear river winds through meadows and woodlands\, nurturing a landscape that feels both serene and alive. Behind its centuries-old walls\, the Convento de Cabanas unveils a world imbued with spirituality. Its cloister\, a true haven of peace\, invites contemplation through its interplay of light and shadow.” – An ideal setting for the practice of Ashtanga Yoga and an exceptionally beautiful place which invites you to slow down and reflect on what is essential to your well-being. \n \nThis Ashtanga retreat provides an environment conducive to the holistic practice of Yoga. Typical for the Mysore class\, you can choose to take the practice to its most challenging for you\, or to a more restorative level as you wish. With the help of asana practice the body is more comfortable and the emotions settled. This will assist with the exploration of Pranayama and stillness\, moving deeper into self-enquiry and growth. \nThere is plenty of time to enjoy the rich and exclusive beauty of the grounds of the Convento\, as well as Portugal’s nearby ocean and river beaches. The historic town of Viana do Castelo and the ancient village of Ponte de Lima are close by and well worth a visit. \nMonday-Sunday\, 20-26 September 2027\nMonday \nArrival 3 pm\nWelcome and Introduction 4:30 pm\nDinner 5:30 pm \nTuesday \n7:00-9:30 am Morning Practice\n4:30-5:45 pm Pranayama\, Chanting & Stillness \nWednesday \n7:00-9:30 am Morning Practice\n4:00-5:45 pm Ashtanga is a holistic practice – meaning and integration; Q&A; discussion \nThursday \n7:00-9:30 am Morning Practice\n4:30-5:45 pm Pranayama\, Chanting & Stillness \nFriday \n7:00-9:30 am Morning Practice\n4:00-5:45 pm Ashtanga is a holistic practice – meaning and integration; Q&A; discussion \nSaturday \n7:00-9:30 am Morning Practice\n4:30-5:45 pm Pranayama\, Chanting & Stillness \nSunday \n7:00-9:00 Morning Practice \nMorning Practice\nThe ‘Morning Practice’ will consist of a selection of breathing\, kriya\, and chanting\, followed by either a Mysore or Led class. The first and last day of the week – Tuesday and Sunday – will be a Led class. \nMeal Times\n9:45 am Breakfast\n6:00 pm Dinner \nThere will be refreshments available during the day\, as well as filtered water\, tea\, and coffee. \n \nPrerequisite\nFor the Mysore class you need to have memorized part of the primary series of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga i.e. the surya namaskara (sun-salutations) and the standing postures up to Utthita Hasta Padangustasana (balancing posture). \nFor all other classes there are no prerequisites. \nYoga in itself is a simple\, yet complete and holistic practice and a pathway to inner peace and balance. It offers all we need to become grounded\, healthy\, strong\, resilient and emotionally uplifted; an all-over more contented human being. The effects of Yoga need to be ‘felt’\, not ‘intellectualized’. This week offers you the opportunity to traverse the many layers of this beautiful practice\, and experience where it can take you. \n \n
