SUMMARY:Yoga Roots Odeceixe\, Portugal\, May 30 - June 11 At One with Consciousness: Yoga and Surfing
DESCRIPTION:Ashtanga Yoga Intensive Weeks \nAt One with Consciousness: Yoga and Surfing \nCollaboration with the Odeceixe Surfing School \nMay 30 – June 11 2023 \nYoga Roots Odeceixe\, Portugal \nWelcome to our new Yoga Shala in the peaceful and meditative atmosphere in Odeceixe!\nAshtanga Yoga Intensive Workshops with Petri Räisänen & Wambui Njuguna–Räisänen \nJoin Petri Räisänen and Wambui Njuguna-Räisänen for a one or two week (2 x 6 days or drop-in days) workshops at the Yoga Roots Odeceixe\, Portugal. The shala is located in the middle of the picturesque and peaceful village on R. Estr. Nacional 1\, 8670-320 Odeceixe\, Portugal. You cannot miss it (Google maps). \nWebsite for Odeceixe activities Odeceixe in Algarve\, Portugal  \nCosta Vicentina Natural Park\, where the village is located\, is one of Europe’s most stunning & untouched coastal regions. \nStudents of all levels are invited to explore and enjoy new depths in their practice under the guidance of Petri and Wambui and their incredible teachings. \nOur Teaching method:
In an effort to reduce harm caused by cultural appropriation and erasure of South Asian lineage\, we follow the Ashtanga Vinyasa system as taught by T. Krishnamacharya and K. Pattabhi Jois. We do\, however\, center each individual practitioner and their unique needs and capabilities. We do not follow a dogmatic\, ‘one size fits all’ approach to the method. Our aim is for healing\, both the physical and spiritual; acceptance and freedom. We’re open to discuss your individual Ashtanga practice and find the way how the method can be accessed for your needs. Please feel open to sharing with us anything which can affect your practice at the moment (i.e. injuries\, childbirth\, etc). \nPhysical Adjustments + Informed Consent: \nWhile the assumption in the Mysore room is that people come for physical adjustments\, we practice asking for permission before physically adjusting you. Consent is crucial and non-negotiable. If you’re happier not to be physically adjusted during your asana practice\, we respect this choice as well. We will check in on a regular basis regarding consent to being physically adjusted. Some days you may want to be adjusted and other days not\, and we welcome this. Feel free to be yourself and find your own way to practice Ashtanga. We are here to help you in your yoga process. \nClass options\, Schedule & Details \nWe will have 1-3 batches of Mysore classes in the mornings and 1-2 batches of the afternoon workshops. The led classes on Fridays will take place at the local Deportivo (Sport hall) which has enough space for all the students. When register for the workshop\, please give your suggestions for your practice time. Petri will send the payment details with the info email in February-March. \nOur company Yoga Roots Odeceixe is just registered in Portugal\, but it will take two or three weeks to finish the process and open the bank account. You can register for the workshops but don’t have to pay the deposit or full workshop before we will give you the payment details. \nBesides the yoga program\, we will have dinners\, beach hang-out time\, surfing\, nature walks and trips together (or as you wish)\, with bigger or smaller groups of students. There is a great opportunity to try surfing as there are surfing schools in every bigger beach in the area. \nMysore Style = self Led practice with Petri and Wambui’s experienced\, sensitive and healing adjustments. \nLed Class = On Fridays guided primary series class at the local Deportivo (Sport hall). The village is small and all the places are within 5 minutes of walk.

Estr. Nacional 1\, 8670-320 Odeceixe\, Portugal. You cannot miss it (Google maps) \nWe have all gender dressing rooms and toilet\, but we recommend you come to the shala with your practice clothes on. There is no shower at the shala. As the village is very small\, it is easy to walk to the shala wearing your practice clothes and take shower after the practice at your guest house or other type of accommodation. \nYoga Shala Odeceixe has a wooden floor. Yoga mats and blocks are available. Anyhow we recommend bringing your own mats to keep good hygiene and make sure that you have a mat which you like.\nNext to the yoga shala there is a mini market\, bakery and our Chai park where you can sit under the local “holy” tree and sip your well deserved Chai tea. The village coffee shops and restaurants are just around the corner for the breakfast\, hang outs and meals. \nTreatments: \nPetri and Wambui are offering treatments during the workshop. Wambui is giving Chavutti Thirumal (massage by foot press) treatments and Petri is giving Energy healing / bone setting treatments. Please let us know if you are interested and we can book a time. \nSmall Yoga Shop is coming soon.. \nAccommodation in Odeceixe: \nThe Ashtanga Yoga Intensive is a non residential Yoga course and students are asked to book their own accommodation. If you are staying around the shala close to Odeceixe village\, you can easily walk or bicycle to the shala\, shops\, beach and restaurants.\nYou can choose from a great variety of accommodation..Airbnb houses and apartments\, little cute motels\, guesthouses and campsites (different budgets and needs). Praia de Odeceixe beach is 3 km from the Odeceixe village if someone want to stay at the little beach village. On the high season there is a sightseeing train moving between the village and beach every half hour.\nIf you are staying at the Odeceixe village\, you will have maximum 5 minutes walk to the Yoga Shala from any location.\nWe will give recommendations for the guesthouses and other accommodations as soon as we will have reviews from the students. \nSurroundings: Odeceixe-Praia de Odeceixe\, Portugal \nOdeceixe is a village and civil parish in the northern part of the municipality of Aljezur\, in the Portuguese Algarve. \nOdeceixe is a seaside town in Portugal’s Costa Vicentina region. Found within the Southwest Alentejo and Vicentine Coast Natural Park\, this relatively undiscovered destination is a haven for surfers and nature lovers. It’s perhaps best known as a stop along the Rota Vicentina\, a network of hiking trails offering sweeping coastal views and pastoral scenery through the Alentejo and Algarve regions of Portugal. \nThe beach of Praia de Odeceixe is a favorite of both surfers and families.  The Rio de Seixe meets the sea here\, looping around to form a horseshoe-shaped beach and calm lagoon.\nThis lagoon is perfect for swimming and paddleboarding\, while the strong waves of the main beach draw a crowd of surfers and sun-worshippers. \nThe beach is located 3 kilometers from the village of Odeceixe. You can park your car on the southern cliffs. If there is no space\, you can park your car on the side of the road.\nThe area is unspoiled and the landscape surrounding the beach is stunning. On the northern side of the beach there are steep cliffs. On the west side of these cliffs is a big rock that looks like the fin of a shark. This rock is a landmark which makes it easy to recognize Praia de Odeceixe. \nThe closest towns on both sides of Odeceixe are Rogil (9km)\, Aljezur (15km) and Lagos (48km) on the South side and S. Teotónio (12km)\, Odemira (27km) and Vila Nova de Milfontes (42km) on the North side. Here you will find everything you need like bigger supermarkets\, cafés & restaurants\, bakeries\, organic shops and a charming local farmers markets on the weekends. \nHiking\nIf you like hiking there are some great walking trails nearby. You can also find part of the long-distance Rota Vicentina trail (https://rotavicentina.com/en/walking/). This route takes you to amazing places and stunning viewpoints. \nSurfing\nPraia de Odeceixe is a great beach for surfing and bodyboarding. There are many waves on the ocean side and usually there are plenty of surfers in the water. The surf school based on Praia de Odeceixe can be found from here: https://odeceixesurfschool.com. There are classes for all skill levels\, including beginners. If you don’t need classes but just need surf equipment or bodyboard\, you can also rent them from for a fair price.\nOther amazing beaches within 15-30 min drive away are Arrifana\, Monte Clerigo and Amoreira beaches. \nHow To get there?\nFaro airport is 125 km from Odeceixe and Lisbon airport 225 km. The easies way is to rent a small and inexpensive car from the Faro or Lisbon airport and drive to the Odeceixe village. Then you can explore easily the closest beaches\, nature and villages. \nFrom Lisbon:\nThere is a bus from Sete Rios\, Lisbon (https://www.busbud.com/en) for about 4 hours and 19€ to Odeceixe (bus stop on the main road by the village where you will have few minutes walk to the Yoga Shala and Odeceixe village). We’ve been taking a taxi (4km) to Sete Rios bus station from the front of the Lisbon airport. The trip cost about 15€. The bus ticket is better to buy from the company’s web site\, as the ticket office at the bus station can have a long line. You can buy the ticket on line also just before your bus trip\, if you are not sure which time you will make it to the bus station. \nOrdered taxi from the Lisbon airport to Odeceixe will cost about 250€. Check www.gettransfer.com for the lowest taxi rates. \nFrom Faro: \nFrom Faro airport there is a public transport to Odeceixe\, but it is complicated and will take probably longer than the bus trip from Lisbon. \nOrdered taxi from the Faro airport (which we have been using) cost about 120€ (with https://taxipinheiro.com) (or check the rates from www.gettransfer.com) and can be paid by credit card\, which is not too bad rate if you are traveling with company. There are many other taxi companies to book a taxi online. \nLocal taxis in Odeceixe area:\nEdgar Bicho +351 964 631 418\nLuis Marrero +351 917 574 630\nLucas & Lucas +351 967 910 227\nSilvia +351 939 780 396\, +351 937 333 274\nAs there are not too many taxis around\, it is good to book the taxi many days before your planned trip. \nOur Big Why:\nWe believe the practice of yoga can heal the world\, both on and off the mat. We also understand yoga to contain wisdom for both individual self- transformation and collective\, societal progress. In this spirit\, we are survivor-centric and survivor-oriented\, and abuse\, sexual assault\, and discrimination of any kind will not be tolerated. This is a caste protected space and we do not subscribe to casteist beliefs or practices. We recognize our aspiration for our yoga spaces to feel welcoming and warm for anyone who wishes to take practice. We continually contemplate how we can make our yoga spaces braver and more accessible to all\, regardless of race\, gender\, ethnicity\, caste\, sexual identity\, class\, age\, nationality\, immigrant status\, disability etc. Our workshop follows braver space guidelines. \nMental Health Disclaimer:\nYoga can be an effective and beneficial tool for reaching a more peaceful state of mind\, managing stress better and getting physically well. Our workshops and retreats are designed for people with normal physical and mental conditions. If you are on medication\, are currently taking (or have taken) therapy and/or counseling\, or have any known mental condition(s) that would in any way hinder your participation in a workshop or retreat\, please inform us\, as well as your doctor/therapist before registering. We do not provide any specialist therapy or counseling at our workshops/retreats who would be able to help\, should the need arise. If a student’s behaviour causes disruption for other workshop participants and the teachers\, he or she will be requested to stop participating in the workshop and to seek appropriate help. In such a situation\, we do not offer refunds\, but are available to provide any documents necessary for insurance claims. \n  \nWorkshop Fees: (including 23% vat) \nFull workshop May 30 – June 4 or June 6-11 with 5 Mysore mornings\, Friday’s Led class and all afternoon sessions 360 €/week \nMysore mornings x 5 + Friday Led class if you want to do only the mornings. You can drop-in for the afternoon classes if you feel so and pay them separately 240€ \nWeekend June 2-4 or 9-11 with 2 Mysore mornings and one Led class (Friday) & afternoon sessions 220€ \nSingle classes (Mysore or Led)\, possible if there will be space in the shala 40 € \nSingle classes (Afternoon techniques)\, possible if there will be space in the shala 50€ \nSingle class (Pranayama\, meditation\, lectures)\, possible if there will be space in the shala 20€ \nSingle class (Workshop opening)\, possible if there will be space in the shala 20€ \nCancellation policy: \nIn case of cancellation the payment is not refundable after May 20th 2023. Before May 20th\, a full refund (minus 20€ for management costs) is given. Please email your bank account number for the refund if needed. \nIn the case of Covid-19 cancellation (hopefully no more of that) the full payment will be refund without management cost! \nYou can register for the workshops but don’t have to pay the deposit or full workshop before we will give you the payment details. \nShala / Workshop discounts* \nLocal Odeceixe Residents – 40% \nLocal Students with a 10 x practice card to Yoga Roots ODX – +10€ (and one class from the card) \nDisabled Practitioners – 30% \nBIPOC\, Caste-oppressed Practitioners – 20% \nLGBTQIA2S+ – 15% \nPortuguese Residents – 15% \nStudents (15 – 30)\, Parents on leave (up to 18 months) & Retired (65+) – 15% \n*When registering\, please send us proof of your discount (ie. student or disability card). Otherwise\, we use the honor system and invite you to be transparent with us regarding your reason for a discounted tier. \nWhy discounts? \nWe believe the practice of yoga can heal the world\, both on and off the mat. We have witnessed the wisdom contained within the tradition of yoga for both individual self- transformation and collective\, societal progress. In this spirit\, we recognize our aspiration for our yoga spaces to feel welcoming and warm for anyone who wishes to take practice. We continually contemplate how we can make our yoga spaces safer\, welcome and more accessible to all\, regardless of race\, gender\, ethnicity\, caste\, sexual identity\, class\, age\, nationality\, immigrant status\, disability etc. \nOne way we aspire to live by our yogic ideals is around economic accessibility. Yoga should not be a luxury only for those who can afford it. Yoga must be made accessible\, both economically and culturally\, for those who most need it. Based on our individual social locations and whether these identities are proximal to\, or distant from\, power and privilege\, we recognise that institutionalized oppression\, visible and invisible\, recognizable or hidden\, affects how some people are seen\, heard and valued in society. How some are afforded rest and ease and others are not. \nHow some can breath with peace. \nAnd how\, for others\, their breath gets stolen from them\, both literally and figuratively. \nWe wish to balance the scales. \nStarting with our circle of influence in our yoga space. \nIf you identify as more than one on the list above\, please choose the tier that is most essential for you to tend to. We recognize that some of you may embody multiple\, intersecting identities of marginalization\, and would be eligible for multiple discounts. We also acknowledge that there are several more intersections not mentioned that require care and equity. While we aim to extend as much community care out\, we must also protect our energy output and ensure our livelihood and needs as a family are also honored. \nFor those who embody social locations close(r) to societal privilege and power\, this is an invitation to be in active solidarity with others who move through society differently than you. We are sensitive to the fact that life is hard for us all. Being human is hard. However\, there are many experiences that are facilitated for one based on any number of factors\, and having privilege often means that we don’t need to notice the ways structures are set up in our favor. We invite you to pay the full price with a generous spirit. Equity\, meaning everyone getting what they need\, for those who have enjoyed privilege might sometimes feel like oppression. \nIn this moment\, breathe\, slow down and tend to yourself with care and honest accountability. \nFannie Lou Hamer is known to have said\, “Nobody’s free until everybody’s free.” We are all needed to get where we need to be\, as an inter-species. Let’s start embodying this interdependence and interconnection with one another. \nSide by side. \nBoth on and off the yoga mat. \nMay all beings get what they need to be well\, cared for and tended to. \nMay our actions bring us one step closer to making it so. \n  \nPayment Options: \n1. Bank transfer (most recommended) \nAccount details: \nTo: Yoga Roots Odeceixe\, LDA \nBank: Credito Agricola \nNIB: 0045 7021 40370695571 12\n\nIBAN: PT50 0045 7021 4037 0695 5711 2\n\nBIC/SWIFT: CCCMPTPL\nMessage: Odeceixe May 30- June 11 2023\, Your Name and what you are paying..Full program/Only Mornings/Weekend etc. \n2.

SUMMARY:Yoga Devi\, Stockholm\, Sweden\, May 25-28 2023
DESCRIPTION:I did my first international workshop at Ashtanga Yoga Stockholm with Juha Javanainen and Gittan Hendele\, the owner of the shala that time. It was in 1994. Few years ago Ashtanga Yoga Stockholm became Yoga Devi and it is run by Pernilla Cristvall and AnneSophie Sjöblom (Fia). The new location for a cosy and warm shala is close to St. Eriksplan in Stockholm.  \nIt has always been one of my favorite place to teach and soon it will be 30 years of nonstop\, year by year teaching in Stockholm.  \nWelcome to learn\, practice\, enjoy the warm Stockholm Ashtanga community and beginning of the summer days.. \nWarmly\, \nPetri\, Fia and Pernilla

It’s perhaps best known as a stop along the Rota Vicentina\, a network of hiking trails offering sweeping coastal views and pastoral scenery through the Alentejo and Algarve regions of Portugal. \nThe beach of Praia de Odeceixe is a favorite of both surfers and families.  The Rio de Seixe meets the sea here\, looping around to form a horseshoe-shaped beach and calm lagoon.\nThis lagoon is perfect for swimming and paddleboarding\, while the strong waves of the main beach draw a crowd of surfers and sun-worshippers. \nThe beach is located 3 kilometers from the village of Odeceixe. You can park your car on the southern cliffs. If there is no space\, you can park your car on the side of the road.\nThe area is unspoiled and the landscape surrounding the beach is stunning. On the northern side of the beach there are steep cliffs. On the west side of these cliffs is a big rock that looks like the fin of a shark. This rock is a landmark which makes it easy to recognize Praia de Odeceixe. \nThe closest towns on both sides of Odeceixe are Rogil (9km)\, Aljezur (15km) and Lagos (48km) on the South side and S. Teotónio (12km)\, Odemira (27km) and Vila Nova de Milfontes (42km) on the North side. Here you will find everything you need like bigger supermarkets\, cafés & restaurants\, bakeries\, organic shops and a charming local farmers markets on the weekends. \nHiking\nIf you like hiking there are some great walking trails nearby. You can also find part of the long-distance Rota Vicentina trail (https://rotavicentina.com/en/walking/). This route takes you to amazing places and stunning viewpoints. \nSurfing\nPraia de Odeceixe is a great beach for surfing and bodyboarding. There are many waves on the ocean side and usually there are plenty of surfers in the water. The surf school based on Praia de Odeceixe can be found from here: https://odeceixesurfschool.com. There are classes for all skill levels\, including beginners. If you don’t need classes but just need surf equipment or bodyboard\, you can also rent them from for a fair price.\nOther amazing beaches within 15-30 min drive away are Arrifana\, Monte Clerigo and Amoreira beaches. \nHow To get there?\nFaro airport is 125 km from Odeceixe and Lisbon airport 225 km. The easies way is to rent a small and inexpensive car from the Faro or Lisbon airport and drive to the Odeceixe village. Then you can explore easily the closest beaches\, nature and villages. \nFrom Lisbon:\nThere is a bus from Sete Rios\, Lisbon (https://www.busbud.com/en) for about 4 hours and 19€ to Odeceixe (bus stop on the main road by the village where you will have few minutes walk to the Yoga Shala and Odeceixe village). We’ve been taking a taxi (4km) to Sete Rios bus station from the front of the Lisbon airport. The trip cost about 15€. The bus ticket is better to buy from the company’s web site\, as the ticket office at the bus station can have a long line. You can buy the ticket on line also just before your bus trip\, if you are not sure which time you will make it to the bus station. \nOrdered taxi from the Lisbon airport to Odeceixe will cost about 250€. Check www.gettransfer.com for the lowest taxi rates. \nFrom Faro: \nFrom Faro airport there is a public transport to Odeceixe\, but it is complicated and will take probably longer than the bus trip from Lisbon. \nOrdered taxi from the Faro airport (which we have been using) cost about 120€ (with https://taxipinheiro.com) (or check the rates from www.gettransfer.com) and can be paid by credit card\, which is not too bad rate if you are traveling with company. There are many other taxi companies to book a taxi online. \nLocal taxis in Odeceixe area:\nEdgar Bicho +351 964 631 418\nLuis Marrero +351 917 574 630\nLucas & Lucas +351 967 910 227\nSilvia +351 939 780 396\, +351 937 333 274\nAs there are not too many taxis around\, it is good to book the taxi many days before your planned trip. \nPhysical Adjustments + Informed Consent: \nWhile the assumption in the Mysore room is that people come for physical adjustments\, we practice asking for permission before physically adjusting you. Consent is crucial and non-negotiable. If you’re happier not to be physically adjusted during your asana practice\, we respect this choice as well. We will check in on a regular basis regarding consent to being physically adjusted. Some days you may want to be adjusted and other days not\, and we welcome this. Feel free to be yourself and find your own way to practice Ashtanga. We are here to help you in your yoga process. \nOur Big Why:\nWe believe the practice of yoga can heal the world\, both on and off the mat. We also understand yoga to contain wisdom for both individual self- transformation and collective\, societal progress. In this spirit\, we are survivor-centric and survivor-oriented\, and abuse\, sexual assault\, and discrimination of any kind will not be tolerated. This is a caste protected space and we do not subscribe to casteist beliefs or practices. We recognize our aspiration for our yoga spaces to feel welcoming and warm for anyone who wishes to take practice. We continually contemplate how we can make our yoga spaces braver and more accessible to all\, regardless of race\, gender\, ethnicity\, caste\, sexual identity\, class\, age\, nationality\, immigrant status\, disability etc. Our workshop follows braver space guidelines. \nMental Health Disclaimer:\nYoga can be an effective and beneficial tool for reaching a more peaceful state of mind\, managing stress better and getting physically well. Our workshops and retreats are designed for people with normal physical and mental conditions. If you are on medication\, are currently taking (or have taken) therapy and/or counseling\, or have any known mental condition(s) that would in any way hinder your participation in a workshop or retreat\, please inform us\, as well as your doctor/therapist before registering. We do not provide any specialist therapy or counseling at our workshops/retreats who would be able to help\, should the need arise. If a student’s behaviour causes disruption for other workshop participants and the teachers\, he or she will be requested to stop participating in the workshop and to seek appropriate help. In such a situation\, we do not offer refunds\, but are available to provide any documents necessary for insurance claims. \n  \nWorkshop Fees: (including 23% vat) \nFull workshop May 2-7 with 5 Mysore mornings\, Friday’s Led class and all afternoon sessions 360 €/week \nMysore mornings x 5 + Friday Led class if you want to do only the mornings 240€ \nYou can drop-in for the afternoon classes if you feel so and pay them separately. \nWeekend May 5-7 with 2 Mysore mornings and one Led class (Friday) & afternoon sessions 220€ \nSingle classes (Mysore or Led)\, possible if there will be space in the shala 40 € \nSingle classes (Afternoon techniques)\, possible if there will be space in the shala 50€ \nSingle class (Pranayama\, meditation\, lectures)\, possible if there will be space in the shala 20€ \nSingle class (Workshop opening)\, possible if there will be space in the shala 20€ \nCancellation policy: \nIn case of cancellation the payment is not refundable after April 20 2023. Before April 20th\, a full refund (minus 20€ for management costs) is given. Please email your bank account number for the refund if needed. \nIn the case of Covid-19 cancellation (hopefully no more of that) the full payment will be refund without management cost! \nShala / Workshop discounts* \nLocal Odeceixe Residents – 40% \nLocal Students with a 10 x practice card to Yoga Roots ODX – +10€ (and one class from the card) \nDisabled Practitioners – 30% \nBIPOC\, Caste-oppressed Practitioners – 20% \nLGBTQIA2S+ – 15% \nPortuguese Residents – 15% \nStudents (15 – 30)\, Parents on leave (up to 18 months) & Retired (65+) – 15% \n*When registering\, please send us proof of your discount (ie. student or disability card). Otherwise\, we use the honor system and invite you to be transparent with us regarding your reason for a discounted tier. \nWhy discounts? \nWe believe the practice of yoga can heal the world\, both on and off the mat. We have witnessed the wisdom contained within the tradition of yoga for both individual self- transformation and collective\, societal progress. In this spirit\, we recognize our aspiration for our yoga spaces to feel welcoming and warm for anyone who wishes to take practice. We continually contemplate how we can make our yoga spaces safer\, welcome and more accessible to all\, regardless of race\, gender\, ethnicity\, caste\, sexual identity\, class\, age\, nationality\, immigrant status\, disability etc. \nOne way we aspire to live by our yogic ideals is around economic accessibility. Yoga should not be a luxury only for those who can afford it. Yoga must be made accessible\, both economically and culturally\, for those who most need it. Based on our individual social locations and whether these identities are proximal to\, or distant from\, power and privilege\, we recognise that institutionalized oppression\, visible and invisible\, recognizable or hidden\, affects how some people are seen\, heard and valued in society. How some are afforded rest and ease and others are not. \nHow some can breath with peace. \nAnd how\, for others\, their breath gets stolen from them\, both literally and figuratively. \nWe wish to balance the scales. \nStarting with our circle of influence in our yoga space. \nIf you identify as more than one on the list above\, please choose the tier that is most essential for you to tend to. We recognize that some of you may embody multiple\, intersecting identities of marginalization\, and would be eligible for multiple discounts. We also acknowledge that there are several more intersections not mentioned that require care and equity. While we aim to extend as much community care out\, we must also protect our energy output and ensure our livelihood and needs as a family are also honored. \nFor those who embody social locations close(r) to societal privilege and power\, this is an invitation to be in active solidarity with others who move through society differently than you. We are sensitive to the fact that life is hard for us all. Being human is hard. However\, there are many experiences that are facilitated for one based on any number of factors\, and having privilege often means that we don’t need to notice the ways structures are set up in our favor. We invite you to pay the full price with a generous spirit. Equity\, meaning everyone getting what they need\, for those who have enjoyed privilege might sometimes feel like oppression. \nIn this moment\, breathe\, slow down and tend to yourself with care and honest accountability. \nFannie Lou Hamer is known to have said\, “Nobody’s free until everybody’s free.” We are all needed to get where we need to be\, as an inter-species. Let’s start embodying this interdependence and interconnection with one another. \nSide by side. \nBoth on and off the yoga mat. \nMay all beings get what they need to be well\, cared for and tended to. \nMay our actions bring us one step closer to making it so. \n  \nPayment Options: \n1. Bank transfer (most recommended) \nAccount details: \nTo: Yoga Roots Odeceixe\, LDA \nBank: Credito Agricola \nNIB: 0045 7021 40370695571 12\n\nIBAN: PT50 0045 7021 4037 0695 5711 2\n\nBIC/SWIFT: CCCMPTPL\nMessage: Odeceixe May 2-7 2023\, Your Name and what you are paying..Full program/Only Mornings/Weekend etc. \n2.

It’s perhaps best known as a stop along the Rota Vicentina\, a network of hiking trails offering sweeping coastal views and pastoral scenery through the Alentejo and Algarve regions of Portugal. \nThe beach of Praia de Odeceixe is a favorite of both surfers and families.  The Rio de Seixe meets the sea here\, looping around to form a horseshoe-shaped beach and calm lagoon. \nThis lagoon is perfect for swimming and paddleboarding\, while the strong waves of the main beach draw a crowd of surfers and sun-worshippers. \nThe beach is located 3 kilometers from the village of Odeceixe. You can park your car on the southern cliffs. If there is no space\, you can park your car on the side of the road. \nThe area is unspoiled and the landscape surrounding the beach is stunning. On the northern side of the beach there are steep cliffs. On the west side of these cliffs is a big rock that looks like the fin of a shark. This rock is a landmark which makes it easy to recognize Praia de Odeceixe. \nThe closest towns on both sides of Odeceixe are Rogil (9km)\, Aljezur (15km) and Lagos (48km) on the South side and S. Teotónio (12km)\, Odemira (27km) and Vila Nova de Milfontes (42km) on the North side. Here you will find everything you need like bigger supermarkets\, cafés & restaurants\, bakeries\, organic shops and a charming local farmers markets on the weekends. \nHiking \nIf you like hiking there are some great walking trails nearby. You can also find part of the long-distance Rota Vicentina trail (https://rotavicentina.com/en/walking/). This route takes you to amazing places and stunning viewpoints. \nSurfing \n \nPraia de Odeceixe is a great beach for surfing and bodyboarding. There are many waves on the ocean side and usually there are plenty of surfers in the water. The surf school based on Praia de Odeceixe can be found from here: https://odeceixesurfschool.com. There are classes for all skill levels\, including beginners. If you don’t need classes but just need surf equipment or bodyboard\, you can also rent them from for a fair price. \nOther amazing beaches within 15-30 min drive away are Arrifana\, Monte Clerigo and Amoreira beaches. \nHow To get there? \nFaro airport is 125 km from Odeceixe and Lisbon airport 225 km. The easies way is to rent a small and inexpensive car from the Faro or Lisbon airport and drive to the Odeceixe village. Then you can explore easily the closest beaches\, nature and villages. \nFrom Lisbon: \nThere is a bus from Sete Rios\, Lisbon (https://www.busbud.com/en) for about 4 hours and 19€ to Odeceixe (bus stop on the main road by the village where you will have few minutes walk to the Yoga Shala and Odeceixe village). We’ve been taking a taxi (4km) to Sete Rios bus station from the front of the Lisbon airport. The trip cost about 15€. The bus ticket is better to buy from the company’s web site\, as the ticket office at the bus station can have a long line. You can buy the ticket on line also just before your bus trip\, if you are not sure which time you will make it to the bus station. \nOrdered taxi from the Lisbon airport to Odeceixe will cost about 250€. Check www.gettransfer.com for the lowest taxi rates. \nFrom Faro: \nFrom Faro airport there is a public transport to Odeceixe\, but it is complicated and will take probably longer than the bus trip from Lisbon. \nOrdered taxi from the Faro airport (which we have been using) cost about 120€ (with https://taxipinheiro.com) (or check the rates from www.gettransfer.com) and can be paid by credit card\, which is not too bad rate if you are traveling with company. There are many other taxi companies to book a taxi online. \nLocal taxis in Odeceixe area: \nEdgar Bicho +351 964 631 418 \nLuis Marrero +351 917 574 630 \nLucas & Lucas +351 967 910 227 \nSilvia +351 939 780 396\, +351 937 333 274 \nAs there are not too many taxis around\, it is good to book the taxi many days before your planned trip. \nOur Big Why: \nWe believe the practice of yoga can heal the world\, both on and off the mat. We also understand yoga to contain wisdom for both individual self- transformation and collective\, societal progress. In this spirit\, we are survivor-centric and survivor-oriented\, and abuse\, sexual assault\, and discrimination of any kind will not be tolerated. This is a caste protected space and we do not subscribe to casteist beliefs or practices. We recognize our aspiration for our yoga spaces to feel welcoming and warm for anyone who wishes to take practice. We continually contemplate how we can make our yoga spaces braver and more accessible to all\, regardless of race\, gender\, ethnicity\, caste\, sexual identity\, class\, age\, nationality\, immigrant status\, disability etc. Our workshop follows braver space guidelines. \nMental Health Disclaimer: \nYoga can be an effective and beneficial tool for reaching a more peaceful state of mind\, managing stress better and getting physically well. Our workshops and retreats are designed for people with normal physical and mental conditions. If you are on medication\, are currently taking (or have taken) therapy and/or counseling\, or have any known mental condition(s) that would in any way hinder your participation in a workshop or retreat\, please inform us\, as well as your doctor/therapist before registering. We do not provide any specialist therapy or counseling at our workshops/retreats who would be able to help\, should the need arise. If a student’s behaviour causes disruption for other workshop participants and the teachers\,  he or she will be requested to stop participating in the workshop and to seek appropriate help. In such a situation\, we do not offer refunds\, but are available to provide any documents necessary for insurance claims. \nWorkshop Fees: (including 23% vat) \nFull workshop April 18-23 with 5 Mysore mornings\, Friday’s Led class and all afternoon sessions 360 €/week \nMysore mornings x 5 + Friday Led class if you want to do only the mornings. You can drop-in for the afternoon classes if you feel so and pay them separately 240€ \nWeekend April 21-23 with 2 Mysore mornings and one Led class (Friday) & afternoon sessions 220€ \nSingle classes (Mysore or Led)\, possible if there will be space in the shala 40 € \nSingle classes (Afternoon techniques)\, possible if there will be space in the shala 50€ \nSingle class (Pranayama\, meditation\, lectures)\, possible if there will be space in the shala 20€ \nSingle class (Workshop opening)\, possible if there will be space in the shala 20€ \nCancellation policy: \nIn case of cancellation the payment is not refundable after April  4th 2023.

Otherwise\, we use the honor system and invite you to be transparent with us regarding your reason for a discounted tier. \nWhy discounts? \nWe believe the practice of yoga can heal the world\, both on and off the mat. We have witnessed the wisdom contained within the tradition of yoga for both individual self- transformation and collective\, societal progress. In this spirit\, we recognize our aspiration for our yoga spaces to feel welcoming and warm for anyone who wishes to take practice. We continually contemplate how we can make our yoga spaces safer\, welcome and more accessible to all\, regardless of race\, gender\, ethnicity\, caste\, sexual identity\, class\, age\, nationality\, immigrant status\, disability etc. \nOne way we aspire to live by our yogic ideals is around economic accessibility. Yoga should not be a luxury only for those who can afford it. Yoga must be made accessible\, both economically and culturally\, for those who most need it. Based on our individual social locations and whether these identities are proximal to\, or distant from\, power and privilege\, we recognise that institutionalized oppression\, visible and invisible\, recognizable or hidden\, affects how some people are seen\, heard and valued in society. How some are afforded rest and ease and others are not. \nHow some can breath with peace. \nAnd how\, for others\, their breath gets stolen from them\, both literally and figuratively. \nWe wish to balance the scales. \nStarting with our circle of influence in our yoga space. \nIf you identify as more than one on the list above\, please choose the tier that is most essential for you to tend to. We recognize that some of you may embody multiple\, intersecting identities of marginalization\, and would be eligible for multiple discounts. We also acknowledge that there are several more intersections not mentioned that require care and equity. While we aim to extend as much community care out\, we must also protect our energy output and ensure our livelihood and needs as a family are also honored. \nFor those who embody social locations close(r) to societal privilege and power\, this is an invitation to be in active solidarity with others who move through society differently than you. We are sensitive to the fact that life is hard for us all. Being human is hard. However\, there are many experiences that are facilitated for one based on any number of factors\, and having privilege often means that we don’t need to notice the ways structures are set up in our favor. We invite you to pay the full price with a generous spirit. Equity\, meaning everyone getting what they need\, for those who have enjoyed privilege might sometimes feel like oppression. \nIn this moment\, breathe\, slow down and tend to yourself with care and honest accountability. \nFannie Lou Hamer is known to have said\, “Nobody’s free until everybody’s free.” We are all needed to get where we need to be\, as an inter-species. Let’s start embodying this interdependence and interconnection with one another. \nSide by side. \nBoth on and off the yoga mat. \nMay all beings get what they need to be well\, cared for and tended to. \nMay our actions bring us one step closer to making it so. \n  \nPayment Options: \n1. Bank transfer (most recommended) \nAccount details: \nTo: Yoga Roots Odeceixe\, LDA \nBank: Credito Agricola \nNIB: 0045 7021 40370695571 12\n\nIBAN: PT50 0045 7021 4037 0695 5711 2\n\nBIC/SWIFT: CCCMPTPL\nMessage: \nOdeceixe April 18-23 2023\, Your Name and what you are paying..Full program/Only Mornings/Weekend etc. \n2.

SUMMARY:Purple Valley Tenerife Retreat in March 25 - April 8 2023
DESCRIPTION:“Ashtanga for all – creating a culture of care through the practice” \nPurple Valley Goa has been running an European Purple Valley Retreats in Tenerife\, Canary Islands. The resort is an amazing combination of all different artistic houses and buildings just few minutes away from the famous hotels and beaches\, but in a completely peaceful environment.

There is summer all around the year.  \nDuring this retreat\, we will focus on facilitating the practice in a way that honor each practitioner as the unique individuals that they are\, sharing our experiences and techniques which help to release unconscious biases\, expectations and pressure from “past” samskaras of our lineage and to find our own way into the practice Ashtanga Yoga. We still honor and follow the Ashtanga Vinyasa method…from a more accessible worldview. \nThis retreat is open for all levels of practitioners – from beginners to advanced. \nMore info and registrations..https://yogagoa.com/ashtanga-yoga-for-all-creating-a-culture-of-care-through-the-practice-of-ashtanga-yoga/ \nBig hugs\, Petri and Wambui

Krishnamacharya and K. Pattabhi Jois. We do\, however\, center each individual practitioner and their unique needs and capabilities. We do not follow a dogmatic\, ‘one size fits all’ approach to the method. Our aim is for healing\, both the physical and spiritual; acceptance and freedom. We’re open to discuss your individual Ashtanga practice and find the way how the method can be accessed for your needs. Please feel open to sharing with us anything which can affect your practice at the moment (i.e. injuries\, childbirth\, etc). \nPhysical Adjustments + Informed Consent: \nWhile the assumption in the Mysore room is that people come for physical adjustments\, we practice asking for permission before physically adjusting you. Consent is crucial and non-negotiable. If you’re happier not to be physically adjusted during your asana practice\, we respect this choice as well. We will check in on a regular basis regarding consent to being physically adjusted. Some days you may want to be adjusted and other days not\, and we welcome this. Feel free to be yourself and find your own way to practice Ashtanga. We are here to help you in your yoga process. \nClass options\, Schedule & Details \nWe will have 1 batch of Mysore classes on the weekdays mornings at 6am (March 7-10) and 1 batch of the afternoon workshops.

Praia de Odeceixe beach is 3 km from the Odeceixe village if someone want to stay at the little beach village. On the high season there is a sightseeing train moving between the village and beach every half hour. \nIf you are staying at the Odeceixe village\, you will have maximum 5 minutes walk to the Yoga Shala from any location. \nWe will give recommendations for the guesthouses and other accommodations as soon as we will have reviews from the students. \nSurroundings: Odeceixe-Praia de Odeceixe\, Portugal \nOdeceixe is a village and civil parish in the northern part of the municipality of Aljezur\, in the Portuguese Algarve. \nOdeceixe is a seaside town in Portugal’s Costa Vicentina region. Found within the Southwest Alentejo and Vicentine Coast Natural Park\, this relatively undiscovered destination is a haven for surfers and nature lovers. It’s perhaps best known as a stop along the Rota Vicentina\, a network of hiking trails offering sweeping coastal views and pastoral scenery through the Alentejo and Algarve regions of Portugal. \nThe beach of Praia de Odeceixe is a favorite of both surfers and families.  The Rio de Seixe meets the sea here\, looping around to form a horseshoe-shaped beach and calm lagoon. \nThis lagoon is perfect for swimming and paddleboarding\, while the strong waves of the main beach draw a crowd of surfers and sun-worshippers. \nThe beach is located 3 kilometers from the village of Odeceixe. You can park your car on the southern cliffs. If there is no space\, you can park your car on the side of the road. \nThe area is unspoiled and the landscape surrounding the beach is stunning. On the northern side of the beach there are steep cliffs. On the west side of these cliffs is a big rock that looks like the fin of a shark. This rock is a landmark which makes it easy to recognize Praia de Odeceixe. \nThe closest towns on both sides of Odeceixe are Rogil (9km)\, Aljezur (15km) and Lagos (48km) on the South side and S. Teotónio (12km)\, Odemira (27km) and Vila Nova de Milfontes (42km) on the North side. Here you will find everything you need like bigger supermarkets\, cafés & restaurants\, bakeries\, organic shops and a charming local farmers markets on the weekends. \nHiking \nIf you like hiking there are some great walking trails nearby. You can also find part of the long-distance Rota Vicentina trail (https://rotavicentina.com/en/walking/). This route takes you to amazing places and stunning viewpoints. \nSurfing \nPraia de Odeceixe is a great beach for surfing and bodyboarding. There are many waves on the ocean side and usually there are plenty of surfers in the water. The surf school based on Praia de Odeceixe can be found from here: https://odeceixesurfschool.com. There are classes for all skill levels\, including beginners. If you don’t need classes but just need surf equipment or bodyboard\, you can also rent them from for a fair price. \nOther amazing beaches within 15-30 min drive away are Arrifana\, Monte Clerigo and Amoreira beaches. \nHow To get there? \nFaro airport is 125 km from Odeceixe and Lisbon airport 225 km. The easies way is to rent a small and inexpensive car from the Faro or Lisbon airport and drive to the Odeceixe village. Then you can explore easily the closest beaches\, nature and villages. \nFrom Lisbon: \nThere is a bus from Sete Rios\, Lisbon (https://www.busbud.com/en) for about 4 hours and 19€ to Odeceixe (bus stop on the main road by the village where you will have few minutes walk to the Yoga Shala and Odeceixe village). We’ve been taking a taxi (4km) to Sete Rios bus station from the front of the Lisbon airport. The trip cost about 15€. The bus ticket is better to buy from the company’s web site\, as the ticket office at the bus station can have a long line. You can buy the ticket on line also just before your bus trip\, if you are not sure which time you will make it to the bus station. \nOrdered taxi from the Lisbon airport to Odeceixe will cost about 250€. Check www.gettransfer.com for the lowest taxi rates. \nFrom Faro: \nFrom Faro airport there is a public transport to Odeceixe\, but it is complicated and will take probably longer than the bus trip from Lisbon. \nOrdered taxi from the Faro airport (which we have been using) cost about 120€ (with https://taxipinheiro.com) (or check the rates from www.gettransfer.com) and can be paid by credit card\, which is not too bad rate if you are traveling with company. There are many other taxi companies to book a taxi online. \nLocal taxis in Odeceixe area: \nEdgar Bicho +351 964 631 418 \nLuis Marrero +351 917 574 630 \nLucas & Lucas +351 967 910 227 \nSilvia +351 939 780 396\, +351 937 333 274 \nAs there are not too many taxis around\, it is good to book the taxi many days before your planned trip. \nOur Big Why:\nWe believe the practice of yoga can heal the world\, both on and off the mat. We also understand yoga to contain wisdom for both individual self- transformation and collective\, societal progress. In this spirit\, we are survivor-centric and survivor-oriented\, and abuse\, sexual assault\, and discrimination of any kind will not be tolerated. This is a caste protected space and we do not subscribe to casteist beliefs or practices. We recognize our aspiration for our yoga spaces to feel welcoming and warm for anyone who wishes to take practice. We continually contemplate how we can make our yoga spaces braver and more accessible to all\, regardless of race\, gender\, ethnicity\, caste\, sexual identity\, class\, age\, nationality\, immigrant status\, disability etc. We follow braver space guidelines and is a caste-protected space.\nMental Health Disclaimer:\nYoga can be an effective and beneficial tool for reaching a more peaceful state of mind\, managing stress better and getting physically well. Our workshops and retreats are designed for people with normal physical and mental conditions. If you are on medication\, are currently taking (or have taken) therapy and/or counseling\, or have any known mental condition(s) that would in any way hinder your participation in a workshop or retreat\, please inform us\, as well as your doctor/therapist before registering. We do not provide any specialist therapy or counseling at our workshops/retreats who would be able to help\, should the need arise. If a student’s behaviour causes disruption for other workshop participants and the teachers\,  he or she will be requested to stop participating in the workshop and to seek appropriate help. In such a situation\, we do not offer refunds\, but are available to provide any documents necessary for insurance claims.\nWorkshop Fees: \nFull workshop March 7-12 or 14-19 with 5 Mysore mornings in both weeks\, Friday’s Led class and all afternoon sessions 360 €/week (including 23% vat) \nWeekend March 10-12 or 17-19 with 2 Mysore mornings in both weeks\, one Led class (Friday) & afternoon sessions 220€ \nSingle classes (Mysore or Led)\, possible if there will be space in the shala 35 € \nSingle classes (Afternoon Techniques)\, possible if there will be space in the shala 50€ \nSingle class (Meditation\, Lectures)\, possible if there will be space in the shala 25€ \nSingle class (Pranayama)\, possible if there will be space in the shala 20€ \nCancellation policy: \nIn case of cancellation the payment is not refundable after March 4th 2023.

Otherwise\, we use the honor system and invite you to be transparent with us regarding your reason for a discounted tier. \nWhy discounts? \nWe believe the practice of yoga can heal the world\, both on and off the mat. We have witnessed the wisdom contained within the tradition of yoga for both individual self- transformation and collective\, societal progress. In this spirit\, we recognize our aspiration for our yoga spaces to feel welcoming and warm for anyone who wishes to take practice. We continually contemplate how we can make our yoga spaces safer and more accessible to all\, regardless of race\, gender\, ethnicity\, caste\, sexual identity\, class\, age\, nationality\, immigrant status\, disability and so on. \nOne way we aspire to live by our yogic ideals is around economic accessibility. Yoga should not be a luxury only for those who can afford it. Yoga must be made accessible\, both economically and culturally\, for those who most need it. Based on our individual social locations and whether these identities are proximal to\, or distant from\, power and privilege\, we recognise that institutionalized oppression\, visible and invisible\, recognizable or hidden\, affects how some people are seen\, heard and valued in society. How some are afforded rest and ease and others are not. \nHow some can breath with peace. \nAnd how\, for others\, their breath gets stolen from them\, both literally and figuratively. \nWe wish to balance the scales\, starting with our circle of influence in our yoga space. \nIf you identify as more than one on the list above\, please choose the tier that is most essential for you. We recognize that some of you may embody multiple\, intersecting identities of marginalization\, and would be eligible for multiple discounts. We also acknowledge that there are several more intersections not mentioned that require care and equity. While we aim to extend as much community care out\, we must also protect our energy output and ensure our livelihood and needs as a family are also honored. \nFor those who embody social locations close(r) to societal privilege and power\, this is an invitation to be in active solidarity with others who move through society differently than you. We are sensitive to the fact that life is hard for us all. Being human is hard. However\, there are many experiences that are facilitated for one based on any number of factors\, and having societal privilege often means we don’t need to notice the ways structures are set up in our favor. We invite you to pay the full price with a generous spirit. Equity\, meaning everyone getting what they need\, for those who have enjoyed privilege might sometimes feel like oppression. \nIn this moment\, breathe\, slow down and tend to yourself with care and honest accountability. \nFannie Lou Hamer is known to have said\, “Nobody’s free until everybody’s free.” We are all needed to get where we need to be\, as an inter-species. Let’s start embodying this interdependence and interconnection with one another. \nSide by side. \nBoth on and off the yoga mat. \nMay all beings get what they need to be well\, cared for and tended to. \nMay our actions bring us one step closer to making it so. \n  \nPayment options: \nYou can register for the workshops but don’t have to pay the deposit or full workshop before we will give you the payment details. \nPayment Options: \n1. Bank transfer (most recommended) \nAccount details: \nTo: Yoga Roots Odeceixe\, LDA \nBank: Credito Agricola \nNIB: 0045 7021 40370695571 12\n\nIBAN: PT50 0045 7021 4037 0695 5711 2\n\nBIC/SWIFT: CCCMPTPL\nMessage: \nOdeceixe 7-12 2023 or 14-19 2023\, Your Name and what you are paying..Full program/Only Mornings/Weekend etc. \n2.  Cash payment to Petri or Wambui before the first Yoga class \n3.

The energy-healing techniques are based on sensing and locating the blocks in the flow of energy throughout the body and then releasing and balancing the energy flow. Besides a healing treatments and self healing method the Energy healing techniques can be used in the asana adjustments and in your own practice. All the techniques are completely natural and simple\, but need a deep concentration and one direction mind focus (ekagra). Petri has been teaching Energy healing workshops since 2000 and Ashtanga Yoga since 1991.    \nWambui studied Petri’s energy healing techniques while on retreat on Koh Mak from 2010-2014.

DESCRIPTION:It is hard to even describe the disappointment\, pain and sadness of what is happening in Ukraine\, Russia and many other parts of Europe and the whole world in this moment. It has been really amazing to teach in Russia for the last about 15 years. The students are dedicated and friendly. Beautiful beings. New we don’t know when we will be back..the war/invasion is going on..I feel compassion and deep love for the students in Russia. I pray for a Peace and Peace and Peace again and again..to find the solution and clarity. Stay together..Yogis for the PEACE!\n  \nIt will be amazing to go back to Moscow and teach with my great friend and colleague Alex Smirkin. The workshop place\, schedule and other details will be announced soon. \nThe workshop in Moscow will take place in September 29 – October 2 2022. \nAfter the Moscow workshop we will move to Lake Ladoga for a one week Ashtanga Retreat in October 3-9.
