But don’t panic 😉
When you now try to book ‘Full Workshop’ through Mindbody, you can be placed on a Waiting list. Please do that, because we hope that the COVID-19 restrictions will improve to lessen the distance between participators, so we can gather more people within the safety regulations.
Or you can join the new option: ‘Full Workshop except Guided Thursday’ where there are some spots available. In this package you get access to Mysore classes Fri-Sun, Friday opening and the two Workshops Sat-Sun. All you miss is Guided Primary on Thursdag afternoon.
Petri Räisänen is an internationally renowned and respected yoga teacher. A devoted student of K. Pattabhi Jois (1915– 2009) and R. Sharath Jois, who both authorized Petri to teach in 2001. Petri carefully passes on teachings of Ashtanga tradition.
Petri started practicing Ashtanga yoga in 1989 and teaching in 1991. He is co-owner and director of Astanga Yoga Helsinki, one of the world’s most established Ashtanga Yoga shalas. K. Pattabhi Jois blessed the school to teach the traditional Ashtanga method in 1997.
Petri has been teaching internationally around the world for over a decade and he lived in New York City for several years until 2008. His teaching style and adjustments are gentle, effective, therapeutic and originate, besides his own practice and teaching, from his past work as a traditional folk healer and naturopath.
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 intuivite perception give an open, energetic and meditative atmosphere to his classes.
Petri has been written two books on the subjects of Ashtanga Yoga. First one “Ashtanga Yoga – In the tradition of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois” was first published in Swedish in 2005 and in English in 2013. The intermediate series book “Nadi Sodhana” was released in Finnish in 2008 and English in 2017. Both books are written from the interviews with K. Pattabhi Jois and R. Sharath Jois, the masters of Ashtanga Yoga system. They illustrate uniquely the Primary and Intermediate series practice, benefits and tradition as it is taught in Mysore, India.

Originally a bone setting technique (a healing method) called “limb lengthening”, which Petri modified for asana adjustments to create a maximum length for limbs. This will not only take you to the next level in the asana, but also release the tensions and pains from the body. In this workshop we are practicing how to find the space in a gentle and safe, but effective ways.

7:00-9:00 / 9:15-11:15 am – Mysore
12:00-3:00 pm (afternoon) – Additional workshop: Gentleness and softness in the asana adjustments and practice – the safe way to practice Ashtanga Yoga.
Astanga Yoga is a safe, effective and beneficial method…which all too often can become a painful, pressure-filled, stressful physical exercise. In this workshop, we will focus on the therapeutical aspects of the practice for the body/mind; namely, how to release tension, stretch the body without pain and keep the mind in a peaceful, but awakened state.
Feeling comfortable and meditative during the practice will influence the level of calmness and health for life outside the practice and keep the Yoga in your life all the way to the end of days.
3:00-3:20 pm (afternoon) – Thank you and goodbye 🙂
