We are so happy to announce that the incredible Ashtanga yoga teachers and couple Harmony Slater and Russel Case are coming to Sweden and that we will host them for 10 inspiring and transformative Ashtanga days.
Days that will support you within your asana practice of ashtanga yoga, as well as inviting you to explore topics to move you beyond your mat and into the mindset of how you approach your ashtanga yoga practice and emotional and physical wellbeing.
Harmony is one of 10 certified Ashtanga yoga teachers in North America. She is a reformed perfectionist, recovering from eating disorders, depression and anxiety. This led her to need a spiritual solution – a path to freedom from physical pain and mental suffering, and has guided her journey to helping others do the same.
Russel who is now a retired Ashtanga teacher that focus on painting has an extensive Ashtanga teaching experience and roots in Sweden.
We will invite you to two Ashtanga Weekend Workshops as well as a Mysore week. Join for the full experience for all 10 days or join just one or both workshops and/or the Mysore week!
We are looking forward to these days together where we will do a deep dive into the world of Ashtanga yoga both on and beyond our mats!
All workshops and classes will be held at Yoga with a Silver Lining, Gothenburg at Thorburnsgatan 5.
