Ashtanga Yoga is a movement meditation practice based on the synchronization of breath, movement and gaze. The practice allows for a purification of mind, body and nervous system. This physical practice enables strength and space in the body and resilience, clarity and focus in the mind.
Maxi Meissner is the founder of Bhumi Yoga, where she has taught Ashtanga yoga daily since 2010 and built up a beautiful community of practitioners.

Workshop Content
Saturday
9.00-12.00 Intuitive Energy practice, Kriya, Pranayama and Asana practice
The mornings start with a guided intuitive energy practice (meditation to clear your energy), guided Kriya & Pranayama (simple and effective yogic cleansing and breathing techniques) and continues with an Ashtanga practice. The Ashtanga practice starts as a led part up to and including the foundational poses and either continues as Mysore style or a led class, depending the level of experience of participants.
13.30-16.00 Chanting, Asana lab & yoga philosophy
We start the afternoon session with exploring one of the shanti mantra (meaning and pronunciation) and chant it to set a harmonious tone for this session.
From there we start to explore the foundational poses as a rare opportunity for energizing, healing, strengthening, grounding and creating internal space. You will learn how to use these humble postures with deeper awareness, finding structural foundation for forward bends, back-bends, inversions and hip-opening. Gain a new-found appreciation for this foundational work of yoga.
We close the day with a relevant yoga philosophy talk. Maxi's yoga talks are usually intuitive. During the day's session she will feel what may need to be addressed and she will allow her talk to go into that direction. Herein she may choose to talk about the yoga sutras, Ayurveda philosophy, yoga as a sustainable practice ….
