Ashtanga Yoga Urban Retreat
Copenhagen, Denmark
14 – 20 April 2022
Each morning will be devoted to yoga practice based on the traditional method of Ashtanga yoga. For the first class, Laruga will guide a Led Primary Series practice, and the other 6 mornings, will be centered on Mysore self practice under her attentive guidance. During the Mysore practice, each practitioner will receive individual heartfelt support from Laruga, to enrich their personal practice with joy, sustainability and technical knowledge. This way a warm, loving and relational field will be created, where the capacity to listen inwardly broadens. Needs and boundaries are always honored, allowing each to look through the lens of curiosity to who we truly are.
All levels of students are welcome to join the retreat.
Previous Ashtanga yoga experience recommended.
