What is Yoga and by what means do we actually know? In the old days we studied the ancient scriptures as the only reliable source of wisdom. How about you?
The Ashtanga Vinyasa method is a wonderful introduction to yoga. The immediate, raw experience of breathing, inner stability and a controlled gaze is an intense combination that can be experienced intuitively. But is _this_ is Yoga or maybe rather just a beginner stage?
How can a narrow field of practice ever lead to deeply grounded selflessness, generosity, modestly and unconditional happiness? How comes we see so many injuries, so much narcissism, ignorance, greed and selfishness in those who claim to be Yoga teachers (role models!) today?
All talk about Yoga, all efforts in the fields of asana, pranayama and meditation remain empty without orientation and meaningful intention. Without guidance by the wisdom of non-selfishness, all effort is in vain, the outcome is harmful by yogic standards.
Let's enter he _real_ tradition of Yoga.
In this super intensive workshop in Berlin you will learn how to read and understand the original yogic teachings. This will allow you to choose your teachers more wisely and transform "your" practice into a life changing positive transformation path along the ethical values of Yoga.
Grischa's teaching is not about a specific "lineage". It is all about introducing a truthful lineage of yogic wisdom into your practices, teaching and most importantly your interaction with the world. An incorruptible lineage that is open source, won't flatter you, has no hidden selfish agenda or profit-orientation.
It simply does not matter how you call your Yoga. Only the outcome matters.
