Aterra (a beautiful resort by the lake about 15km from Odeceixe) \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. \nBus from Faro airport to Odeceixe: \nFrom the Faro airport take the line 14 or 16 to the last stop (Faro bus station). \nFrom Faro bus station take a line 57 to Lagos (two busses a day). \nThen change in Lagos bus stop to the line 79 to Odeceixe. \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 some friends. 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 September 12 – 17 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 September 15-17 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 and closing)\, free of charge \nCancellation policy: \nIn case of cancellation the payment is not refundable after August 28th 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.

We’re open to discussing your individual Ashtanga practice and find ways how the method can be customized for your needs. Please feel open to sharing anything with us which might affect your practice at the moment (i.e. injuries\, childbirth\, etc).\nEnergy Healing Workshop – opening the senses towards the prana (energy) and hidden states of mind\nWe will practice several energy-healing techniques in the Finnish tradition which Petri learned from master healers\, Pentti Penttilä\, Pentti Mäkelä and Raimo Holtti in the 1990’s in Finland. The techniques come from the ancient Finnish healing tradition called Jäsenkorjaus (bone or limb setting) and is\, in many parts\, similar to osteopathy. Some of the techniques used in this tradition involve giving physical adjustments\, energy healing\, herbal healing\, wet and dry cupping and healing with power words (similar with mantras). The workshop will cover mainly the energy healing part with few gentle physical adjustments for the feet and ankles. \nPetri started studying Energy healing in Kaustinen\, Finland in 1986. In addition to teaching yoga\, Petri worked as a folk healer and naturopath and ran a natural treatment business in Helsinki\, Finland from 1991-1999. \nThe energy-healing techniques are based on sensing and locating the blocks in the flow of energy throughout the body. We approach the more subtle layer of the body\, beyond the physical\, and work on releasing energy blocks\, using the most natural tools available: our mind\, senses and the energy itself. \nStudents do not need any previous energy-healing experience or special skills to join in the workshop. \nSubjects covered in this workshop: \nEnergy healing:\n– How to sense prana (energy) and the energy body\n– How to recognize the energy blocks in the energy body\n– How to channel prana to support the healing process\n– How to do energy and physical healing techniques\n– How to give long and short-distance energy healing\n– How to combine energy-healing techniques with asana adjustments\n– How to recognize pain without touching the body\n– How to balance your own energy after the healing work \nRegistration\, payment and questions: \nAll registrations\, questions and further info through praisanen@yahoo.com and/or info@wambuinjuguna.com \nTo secure your registration\, please pay the workshop to the Yoga Roots Odeceixe bank account.

Aterra (a beautiful resort by the lake about 15km from Odeceixe) \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. \nBus from Faro airport to Odeceixe: \nFrom the Faro airport take the line 14 or 16 to the last stop (Faro bus station). \nFrom Faro bus station take a line 57 to Lagos (two busses a day). \nThen change in Lagos bus stop to the line 79 to Odeceixe. \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 September 19 – 24 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 September 22-24 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 and closing)\, free of charge \nCancellation policy: \nIn case of cancellation the payment is not refundable after September 5th 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.

Aterra (a beautiful resort by the lake about 15km from Odeceixe) \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. \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 October 10 – 15 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 October 13-15 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 September 27th 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: Odeceixe October 10-15 2023\, Your Name and what you are paying..Full program/Only Mornings/Weekend etc. \n2.

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.

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 (or herbal tea). The village’s 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 downstairs by the office we are selling local natural products. \nOur Teaching method: \nWe follow and respect the Ashtanga Vinyasa system as taught by T. Krishnamacharya and K. Pattabhi Jois\, but are aware the harm their teaching method have caused. \nWe center each individual practitioner and their unique needs and capabilities. We do not follow a dogmatic\, ‘one size fits all’ approach to the Ashtanga method. Our aim is for healing\, both the physical and spiritual; acceptance and freedom. We’re open to discussing your individual Ashtanga practice and find ways how the method can be customized for your needs. Please feel open to sharing anything with us which might 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. \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 March 5-10 with 5 Mysore mornings\, Friday’s Led class and all afternoon sessions 360 €/week \nWeekend March 8-10 or 15-17 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 (Lectures)\, possible if there will be space in the shala 25€ \nSingle class (Pranayama or Meditation)\, possible if there will be space in the shala 20€ \nWorkshop opening on Tuesday Free of change \nCancellation policy: \nIn case of cancellation the payment is not refundable after February 23rd 2024.

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.

SUMMARY:Lama Rod Owens at Yoga Roots Odeceixe\, Portugal\, April 3-8 2024 Becoming A New Saint - Workshop
DESCRIPTION: Lama Rod Owens in Portugal\nApril 3-8 2024\nIt will be Lama Rod’s first visit in Odeceixe\, Portugal and in our shala. It will be a full awakening experience.  \nLama Rod Owens offers a level of freedom and care which most of us have not experienced before.  \nThis truly is the medicine and the nectar to not only survive\, but thrive in these apocalyptic times. Highly recommended.  \nIf you wish to get to know a bit more about Lama Rod’s work\, Wambui hosts a donation-based meditation gathering on zoom. Email Wambui (info@wambuinjuguna.com) to join in. \n  \n\nPortraits of Lama Rod Owens shot in Savannah\, GA on December 3rd\, 2022 \n  \nBecoming A New Saint\nSaints\, spiritual warriors\, bodhisattvas\, zaddikim—no matter how they are named in a given tradition\, they all share a profound altruistic wish to free others from suffering. Saints are not beings of stained glass or carved stone. “Each of us can be a new saint\,” says Lama Rod Owens. “In our pain\, our trauma\, and all our complexity\, we all can—and must—awaken the virtue of our compassion for the benefit of our communities\, our planet\, and our own souls.”Join Lama Rod on retreat where he’ll share personal stories\, spiritual teachings\, and instructions for contemplative and somatic practices from his newest book\, The New Saints: From Broken Hearts to Spiritual Warriors. This work reinforces the truth of our interdependency—allowing us to be of service to the collective well-being\, and to call on the support and strength of the countless beings who share our struggles and hopes.\n\nMore Info from\nhttps://opencollective.com/lama-rod-dharmahood/events/becoming-a-new-saint-exploring-the-path-of-emerging-as-warriors-from-our-broken-hearts-c5b2c2e1\n\n\n\nLama Rod will be visiting Odeceixe\, Algarve\, Portugal for his first time! Join him for an immersion\, hosted by Yoga Roots Odeceixe from April 3-8\, 2024

SUMMARY:Ashtanga Yoga Shala Malmö\, Sweden\, April 11-14 2024
DESCRIPTION:Ashtanga Yoga – for body\, mind and spirit \nI’m happy to get back to Malmö in April 11-14 2024. Malmö is a beautiful coastal town\, full of life and has amazing food from all around the world. My favourite place (besides the yoga shala and Indian restaurant : ) is Riberborgs Kallbadhus\, an outdoor spa with saunas and sea water pools. \nI made the workshop schedule to cover the body (asanas and adjustments)\, mind (pranayama with deep concentration and mantras) and spirit (meditation\, non separation and prana experiment). \nWe want to create a safer space for the students to be able to sense and be themselves\, without fear or judgment. A new generation of Ashtanga Yoga community. Freedom to be and experience. \nWelcome to the shala to feel the power of practicing together. \nWarmly\, \nPetri and Åsa

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 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 (or herbal tea). The village’s 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 downstairs by the office we are selling local natural products. \nOur Teaching method: \nWe follow and respect the Ashtanga Vinyasa system as taught by T. Krishnamacharya and K. Pattabhi Jois\, but are aware the harm their teaching method have caused. \nWe center each individual practitioner and their unique needs and capabilities. We do not follow a dogmatic\, ‘one size fits all’ approach to the Ashtanga method. Our aim is for healing\, both the physical and spiritual; acceptance and freedom. We’re open to discussing your individual Ashtanga practice and find ways how the method can be customized for your needs. Please feel open to sharing anything with us which might 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. \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 April 16-21 with 5 Mysore mornings\, Friday’s Led class and all afternoon sessions 360 €/week \nWeekend April 19-21 with 2 Mysore mornings\, one Led class (Friday) & afternoon sessions 220€ \nMorning classes only April 16-21 with 5 Mysore mornings\, Friday’s Led class 210€ \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 (Lectures)\, possible if there will be space in the shala 25€ \nSingle class (Pranayama or Meditation)\, possible if there will be space in the shala 20€ \nWorkshop opening on Tuesday Free of change \nCancellation policy: \nIn case of cancellation the payment is not refundable after April 2nd 2024.

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! \n  \nShala / Workshop discounts* \nLocal Students with a 10 x practice card to Yoga Roots ODX – 50% from the original workshop price \nLocal Odeceixe Portuguese citizens – 40% \nPortuguese citizens – 30% \nDisabled Practitioners – 30% \nBIPOC\, Caste-oppressed Practitioners – 15% \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. \nVoluntary help at the fruit tree garden\, herbal garden or park. Voluntary workshop exchange option for 2-3 students per workshop. Please ask more if you are interested. \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 \nIBAN: PT50 0045 7021 4037 0695 5711 2 \nBIC/SWIFT: CCCMPTPL \nMessage: \nOdeceixe April 16-21 2024\, 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.

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 (or herbal tea). The village’s 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.

Krishnamacharya and K. Pattabhi Jois\, but are aware the harm their teaching method have caused. \nWe center each individual practitioner and their unique needs and capabilities. We do not follow a dogmatic\, ‘one size fits all’ approach to the Ashtanga method. Our aim is for healing\, both the physical and spiritual; acceptance and freedom. We’re open to discussing your individual Ashtanga practice and find ways how the method can be customized for your needs. Please feel open to sharing anything with us which might 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. \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 May 7-12 with 5 Mysore mornings\, Friday’s Led class and all afternoon sessions 360 €/week \nWeekend May 10-12 with 2 Mysore mornings in both weeks\, one Led class (Friday) & afternoon sessions 220€ \nMorning classes only May 10-12 with 5 Mysore mornings\, Friday’s Led class 210€ \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 (Lectures)\, possible if there will be space in the shala 25€ \nSingle class (Pranayama or Meditation)\, possible if there will be space in the shala 20€ \nWorkshop opening on Tuesday Free of change \nCancellation policy: \nIn case of cancellation the payment is not refundable after April 23rd 2024.

Otherwise\, we use the honor system and invite you to be transparent with us regarding your reason for a discounted tier. \nVoluntary help at the fruit tree garden\, herbal garden or park. Voluntary workshop exchange option for 2-3 students per workshop. Please ask more if you are interested. \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.

(Notebook and pen recommended) \nMENTAL TECHNIQUES TO SUPPORT MINDFUL AWARENESS IN ASANA with Petri Räisänen  \nThere are many mindfulness-based techniques which can open the body\, heal painful psychosomatic sensations and conditions and lighten the mind. Sage Patanjali has been offering many useful techniques for the mind and expanding the understanding around what is possible with the body-mind connection. \nIn this workshop\, we will explore how mind techniques can be used as tools for inner awareness and changing perceived limits of the physical body. This will be an effective tool to how we can adjust the body and mind for support the practice so that we can keep\, consistently and over a long period of time\, tending to the work of yogas chitta vritti nirodha. \n  \nYoga Shala Odeceixe: \nThe shala is located in the middle of the Odeceixe village on R. 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 wooden floor.

The village’s 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 downstairs by the office we are selling local natural products. \nOur Teaching method: \nWe follow and respect the Ashtanga Vinyasa system as taught by T. Krishnamacharya and K. Pattabhi Jois\, but are aware the harm their teaching method have caused. \nWe center each individual practitioner and their unique needs and capabilities. We do not follow a dogmatic\, ‘one size fits all’ approach to the Ashtanga method. Our aim is for healing\, both the physical and spiritual; acceptance and freedom. We’re open to discussing your individual Ashtanga practice and find ways how the method can be customized for your needs. Please feel open to sharing anything with us which might 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.

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 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 (or herbal tea). The village’s 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 downstairs by the office we are selling local natural products. \nOur Teaching method: \nWe follow and respect the Ashtanga Vinyasa system as taught by T. Krishnamacharya and K. Pattabhi Jois\, but are aware the harm their teaching method have caused. \nWe center each individual practitioner and their unique needs and capabilities. We do not follow a dogmatic\, ‘one size fits all’ approach to the Ashtanga method. Our aim is for healing\, both the physical and spiritual; acceptance and freedom. We’re open to discussing your individual Ashtanga practice and find ways how the method can be customized for your needs. Please feel open to sharing anything with us which might 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. \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 May 28 – June 2 with 5 Mysore mornings\, Friday’s Led class and all afternoon sessions 360 €/week \nWeekend May 31 – June 2 with 2 Mysore mornings in both weeks\, one Led class (Friday) & afternoon sessions 220€ \nMorning classes only May 28 – June 2 with 5 Mysore mornings and Friday’s Led class 210€ \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 (Lectures)\, possible if there will be space in the shala 25€ \nSingle class (Pranayama or Meditation)\, possible if there will be space in the shala 20€ \nWorkshop opening and closing on Tuesday and Sunday Free of change \nCancellation policy: \nIn case of cancellation the payment is not refundable after May 14th 2024.

Voluntary workshop exchange option for 2-3 students per workshop. Please ask more if you are interested. \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.

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 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 (or herbal tea). The village’s 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 downstairs by the office we are selling local natural products. \nOur Teaching method: \nWe follow and respect the Ashtanga Vinyasa system as taught by T. Krishnamacharya and K. Pattabhi Jois\, but are aware the harm their teaching method have caused. \nWe center each individual practitioner and their unique needs and capabilities. We do not follow a dogmatic\, ‘one size fits all’ approach to the Ashtanga method. Our aim is for healing\, both the physical and spiritual; acceptance and freedom. We’re open to discussing your individual Ashtanga practice and find ways how the method can be customized for your needs. Please feel open to sharing anything with us which might 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. \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 June 11-16 with 5 Mysore mornings\, Friday’s Led class and all afternoon sessions 360 €/week \nWeekend June 14-16 with 2 Mysore mornings in both weeks\, one Led class (Friday) & afternoon sessions 220€ \nMorning classes only June 11–16 with 5 Mysore mornings\, Friday’s Led class 210€ \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 (Lectures)\, possible if there will be space in the shala 25€ \nSingle class (Pranayama or Meditation)\, possible if there will be space in the shala 20€ \nWorkshop opening and closing on Tuesday and Sunday Free of change \nCancellation policy: \nIn case of cancellation the payment is not refundable after May 28th 2024.

Please ask more if you are interested. \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. \nPayment Options: \n1.
