SUMMARY:Purple Valley Tenerife Retreat\, Canary Islands\, April 12-26\, 2025
DESCRIPTION:The Elements of Healing in Ashtanga Yoga \nPurple Valley Tenerife Retreat\, April 12-26 2025 \nWith Petri Räisänen and Tamara Ashley  \nThe traditional Ashtanga Yoga method was always meant to be adapted to the practitioners individual needs and conditions. So the Ashtanga asana sequences are the ground from which we can build our own personal practice based on our unique bodies\, ages\, identities\, mind types\, injuries and traumas.  \nAt the The Elements of Healing in Ashtanga Yoga Retreat you will be accepted as you are and be encouraged to follow the traditional method with kindness\, healing therapies\, care and love.  \nWe are inviting everyone the opportunity to enjoy the practice\, movement\, spiritual growth and great company in beautiful Tenerife.         \nOur hope is to open us all up to more diversity (which is required for a healthy yoga community)\, more safety (which makes everything to bloom) and more happiness (which is the essence of an individual and collective yoga process) wherever we are in our personal yoga evolution. \nPurple Valley Goa has been running an European Purple Valley Retreats in Tenerife\, Canary Islands.

As a dancer\, bodyworker\, and somatic practitioner\, she brings over 25 years of movement knowledge and teaching to her work. She studies with Petri Raisanen and Juha Javainainen. She also studied with Oksana Gorkina\, Manju Jois\, Sharath Jois\, Eddie Stern\, David Swenson and Tim Feldman. Tamara is a practicing Buddhist in the Tibetan tradition and her teaching is informed by her meditation practice\, contemplative movement and experiential enquiries into the nature of the mind. Her route into Buddhist meditation came through dance improvisation trainings with her teacher Nancy Stark Smith\, who skilfully aligned many of the Tibetan Buddhist teachings with dance improvisation practice. Tamara maintains a body based somatic approach to meditation. Her studies in ashtanga yoga have strengthened and added to the practice\, giving a deeper understanding of the body mind\, energy\, and the healing process. Petri has been an important teacher in helping Tamara understand how to work with the subtle energies of the body and mind\, as well as helping her refine her sensing and healing skills. This background also informs her teaching in that she holds the space in a quiet and peaceful way that promotes the introspective inner sensing aspects of practice. \n    \nA seven headed Cobra shaped rock by te beach down from the resort \nPhoto by Petri 2023

SUMMARY:Nepal Ashtanga Retreat\, Pharping\, Nepal\, April 6-15 2019
DESCRIPTION:April 6.–15. 2019\n\nMahalaya Nepal/Tibetan Buddhust Monastery\nPharping\, Nepal\n  \nRetreat summary \nAmongst the energy of the Himalayas and by one of the most sacred sites in Tibetan Buddhism\, join Petri and Wambui for a very special immersion into the Ashtanga Vinyasa practice. \nThe one-week retreat combines the powerful practice of Ashtanga Yoga in one of the world’s most unique settings\, with technique discussions\, pranayama\, healing techniques and Yoga Therapy\, chanting\, optional morning meditation with the monks\, Dharma philosophy\, visits/hikes to some of the great pilgrimage points nearby\, and plenty of time for quiet contemplation and joyful connection with like-minded others. \nThe retreat is an opportunity to adjust your pace and perspective\, to slow down\, to experience life more fully through mindfulness\, and to feel supported in your practice by dedicated teachers\, by the sacredness of the place and by teaching in the complementary philosophies of Yoga and Buddhist Dharma. \nThe retreat is aimed at those with an existing Ashtanga Vinyasa practice (newer practitioners are welcome\, but the retreat isn’t suitable for absolute beginners). We expect to be a splendidly full community\, so the practice space will be “Mysore-style”\, both in terms of the practice and in the occupation of the space! \nEach day will begin with optional meditation with the monks\, under the calming and inspiring gaze of the temple’s 60-foot Buddha. Mysore-style self practice will bring us together each morning\, followed by a varied schedule each day to share ideas\, philosophies\, techniques and places that add texture and depth to your practice and personal journey. We will also protect time for your own space to restore\, connect and simply be. \n  \n  \nMore info at:\nwww.mahalaya-nepal.com
