Join us for a non-residential yoga holiday while enjoying lots of time on the beach with your family-loved-ones or fellow students.

8.15 am - 10.15 am Mysore Style
Monday 7th, 11.00 - 13.30: Lines of Fascia and inner awareness.
In this Playground we go through some of the most obvious lines of fascial connection and see how they relate to our Yoga practice on various levels.
Wednesday 09th, 11.00 - 13.30: Joyful Backbends & a calm nervous system.
Backbends do not only stretch the front and strengthen the back of your body, they genuinely open our heart. And we all know what this feels like: an ongoing smile, cotton candy in your head and a generous gratitude for the magic we are surrounded by. Learn in this workshop how to practice these energizing postures savely & with plenty of joy. Anna will also give an overview about the nervous system & the inner organs and how we can use this subtle awareness for our breathing & asana practice.

ABOUT ANNA ROSSOW.
The daily practice of yoga keeps Anna on the path of introspection and inspiration. She has practiced Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga in the tradition of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois for almost two decades. Anna feels very lucky having been able to learn from todays most respected teachers amongst others Richard Freeman, Nancy Gilgoff, Chuck Miller and Maty Ezraty. For years her regular teacher, Cole Dano in Finland, has guided her to find an optimal way of practice.
Anna Rossow is fascinated by the Method of Ashtanga Yoga which reveals the blind spots and knots of our
body-mind connection. Besides Yoga she has learned osteopathy at the international academy of Osteopathy for over five years. With her precise eye Anna can guide each student to get out of
unhealthy movement patterns and to built a rewarding and healing way to practice.
