Ashtanga Self Practice with Sarai Harvey-Smith

We are delighted to have Sarai Harvey-Smith on the Island for 3 days of Ashtanga Self Practice, December 14-16th, 2007.

“My father first taught me yoga when I was about 12, and I practiced sporadically throughout my teens until I discovered Ashtanga and the beauty of daily practice in 1999. I assisted Roberta Gionnotti and Hamish Hendry of Astanga Yoga London from 2002 to 2004. Both have been inspirational as teachers and mentors, and I continue to practice daily with Hamish when I am in London. In 2002 I completed a Sivananda TTC and obtained Yoga Alliance 'Registered Yoga Teacher' accreditation (RYT 200). In 2003 I completed a six-month British Wheel of Yoga foundation course and John Scott's Techniques of Teaching. The same year I travelled to Mysore, India for the first time to study with ashtanga guru Sri K. Pattabhi Jois. This trip was pivotal and amongst other things, cemented my dedication to the practice, method of teaching, and parampara. I return to Mysore annually to study under the guidance of Guruji and Sharath, from whom I have received 'Authorisation' to teach. In 2006 I began to apprentice Lynne Pinette (London) who specialises in antenatal/postnatal ashtanga yoga. I continue to be intrigued and amazed by the multifarious, transformational and healing power of the practice, and bow humbly at the feet of Guruji.” – Sarai Harvey-Smith

Waiheke Weekend with Peter Sanson

The first workshop on Waiheke with Peter Sanson was a great success. Peter and his assistant, Paul, worked their magic in the 4 mysore classes....some days going as long as 3 1/2 hours to get through all the students. The energy was light and relaxed, the room hot and steamy. Great coffee and chai was had following each practice at the Lazy Lounge. And Carla gave Thai massages to those who wanted more.

Amna gave a lovely concert on Sunday evening, followed by an impromtu number by Lou, and then some fabulous food at the Pot Luck at Louise and Micheal's place behind the studio.

We will all be looking forward to next year on Waiheke Island.

Thanks to everyone who participated and helped out to make this event possible. Big thanks yous to Peter, Amna, Paul, and Carla for coming.
