Petri and Wambui

If all goes well and Thailand will be open for tourist…
Chiang Kham is a small town close to Chiang Rai. Their Ashtanga Yoga and art community is really amazing. Here the kids start Ashtanga at age 5 and after the practice they move downstairs to paint and draw their art. The kids are practicing in the front of the shala and their parents and other ashtangis behind them. What a beautiful people and inspiring place!
Welcome to practice to the North of Thailand!

Keen on Yoga Intermediate Series Techniques July 31 2021
2021-07-31 | Sittard
Petri wrote two books in collaboration with K. Pattabhi Jois and R. Sharath Jois between 2004 – 2007. The second of the books, Nadi Sodhana, has the latest Ashtanga Yoga Intermediate series vinyasa techniques from K. Pattabhi Jois as he fell ill just two moths after the book project was finished.
more info….
Petri will introduce the details which not many students are familiar with even in 2021. The technique class follows the book’s vinyasa method and alignments and will give a good understanding about the changes in the asanas and history of the asana techniques. The class is ideal for everyone who is interested about Ashtanga Yoga and Intermediate series details
We won’t do the practice as a full guided class, but will go through the details, vinyasas and tips and try the techniques on the yoga mat.
Petri started practicing Ashtanga yoga in 1989 and teaching in 1991. He is co-owner and director of Ashtanga Yoga Helsinki. Since 2000 Petri has been teaching Ashtanga yoga internationally around the world. He received his teaching authorization from K. Pattabhi Jois and Sharath Jois in 2001.
Petri focuses on integrating healing and therapy with yoga, meeting student’s individual needs and guiding their progress. Petri’s yoga pose adjustments are gentle, effective, therapeutic and, according to some, almost magical, and originate (besides his own practice and teaching) from his past work as a traditional Finnish folk healer and naturopath. His friendly, relaxed behaviour and intuitive perception give an open, energetic and meditative atmosphere to his classes.
Cost €30 approx £25 | $36

Chanting + talk about the benefits of Chanting Sunday 12 noon EST (=Finland at 7pm)

Chanting is a Yoga practice of the mouth, of resonance, attention, and devotion. We will practice and learn several Hindu mantras and how to articulate the sounds as best as we can, and to tune into the subtly of vibration that occurs from articulation.

Finland Ashtanga Yoga Winter Tour 2020-2021
2021-03-26 - 2021-05-30 | Sittard
Dear Ashtanga Yoga students, friends or/and colleagues.
Hope you are doing well and have been healthy and safe! We are truly living the strangest time of our lives. It has been challenging in many ways but surely there has been a lots of interesting and also beautiful moments during the lockdowns and restrictions.
Now as our whole winter schedule had to be removed and rescheduled we have a great opportunity to stay in Finland and get to used for the Northern winter with snow, cold and dark, but also for the magic and blue moments of Lapland, getting to the habit of cross country skiing, ice skating etc (which we have been missing). and our boys doesn’t have to ask in the end of March when we are coming back home from Asia ”what is that white dust on the top of the cars”.
Petri and Wambui will be teaching in Finland for December, January, February and March. The schedules and times will vary in each place so the students can easily take part of one or more workshops and still have a unique classes.
Welcome to practice in live with Petri and Wambui the “Finnish Yogis and Yoginis” and everyone who is allowed to travel to Finland during this uncertain times. Our schedule for the other parts of the world will continue in March-April (if the Pandemia has been slowing down and the traveling will be possible) and our On-line classes in our own channels and for a different Yoga Schools will continue weekly for the whole winter.
Wambui’s own schedule can be found from www.wambuinjuguna.com and from her Instagram and Facebook @wellnesswithwambui.
We remain firmly and deeply committed to leveraging our privilege and sharing our platform to counter global anti-blackness, racism, homophobia and transphobia, to name but a few of the ways human lives are valued differently. Much work needs to be done in the yoga and wellness world in order for us to aspire to our ideal of Oneness and union.
On the workshops we will respect and follow the Finnish government’s newest advices and restrictions to make the yoga space as safe as possible. The workshop sizes will be smaller than normally in the workshops which means more attention for the students and fresh air to breathe!
Here is the Finnish Ashtanga Winter Tour 2020-2021 Schedule!

On-Line Workshop Calendar 2020-2021
2020-12-05 - 2021-02-13 | Sittard
Dearest friends, students and colleagues,
There is at least one positive thing with this Covid-19 pandemia..that the world is more connected via On-line classes, workshops and courses. There is plenty of On-line classes with a great teachers which wouldn’t be available without the pandemia. Actually there is so many of them that it can become confusing : )
Petri and Wambui are still teaching the workshops and classes in Finland and we are living a family life which means that we have a limited time for the On-line classes..but here is some of them and we are happy to see the students practicing during the lockdowns and restrictions in the shala and On-line.
Wambui’s own schedule can be found from www.wambuinjuguna.com and from her Instagram and Facebook @wellnesswithwambui.
Petri’s On-line classes list is here below..registrations through the workshop websites!
