Taking Yoga all the way - A Sama Yoga workshop weekend in Skåne

Taking Yoga all the way - A Sama Yoga workshop weekend

Join us for a Yoga and Vedanta workshop weekend with SamaYoga’s Sky Akasha & Sanna Devi (classes in english).


Gift yourself with a nurturing weekend full of yoga, time spent in nature and with the opportunity for a self-retreat if staying over night at cozy Villa Söderåsen B&B. Workshop classes are held in a beautiful indoor forest shala in Röstånga, imbedded in Söderåsens nationalpark. All easy accessible with Skånetrafiken, with car only one hour’s drive from Copenhagen airport, 45-50 min from Malmö or Helsingborg

Welcome to a sweet weekend of heart opening Yoga and life-confirming talks. Easy access to deeply relaxing and centering Yoga and Vedanta (self-knowledge & Yogic life wisdom).

We all have a mind and a life situation. We need to learn how to navigate this life and ultimately to be at home with who we are. This is the ultimate goal of Yoga and beautifully taught through Advaita Vedanta. The Yoga serves us towards a healthy body and mind. Greatly improving our capacity to be emotionally steady, sit comfortably and open to understand.

This weekend will give us a reset and rejuvenation, inspiring our vision of wholeness and connection.

Yoga Rocks - Crete Retreat

to Sep 20

Yoga Rocks - Crete Retreat

Yoga Rocks - Retreat in Crete

Join Sky and dive into a week of sweetness through Yoga.

 

“Sky leads some of our favourite yoga holidays at Yoga Rocks. Special yoga teachers have something unquantifiable and alluring about themselves and Sky has this in abundance. His humility in helping guests find their place within the yoga retreat allows all to flourish.

Always spontaneous and fully honouring of his students, Sky teaches with a relaxed passion, exuberant humour and clear understanding of the poses and their benefits. Sky will do one week this year rather than his normal fortnight, get him like a hot cake!

Dedicated to passing on the joy of yoga to others and encouraging you to accept yourself just as you are, Sky has taught and lived yoga for the past 30 years.

His uniquely inspiring and rewarding classes are rooted in the deep principles and traditions of classical hatha yoga with smooth hints of Qigong. He spends some of the year in Bali and is basing more and more in Sweden. He runs highly transformative yoga deepening and teacher training courses and continues to study with incredible vedanta masters Swami Vagishananda Saraswati and Radha (Carol Whitfield Ph.D).

It is always a real pleasure to host Sky and his lovely partner Sanna with their Sama Yoga offering. Sanna has also been known to pop in some extra dawn meditations and post lunch Vedanta classes during retreat, all optional and all straight from a devoted and passionate heart.” – YR

Sama Yoga Retreat with Sky Akasha, Tarifa, South Spain
Oct
13
to Oct 17

Sama Yoga Retreat with Sky Akasha, Tarifa, South Spain

Sama Yoga retreat with Sky Akasha In Tarifa, South Spain

This retreat is designed to deepen one in all aspects of Yoga. Each class is rich with life wisdom and subtle alignment.

The movements are quite easy to learn, moving from classical Hatha Yoga poses to the magic flow of the asana, and balanced with stillness which helps to release a lifetime of holding patterns in the nervous system. Additionally, we will learn about Marma Points (similar to the acupressure points in Shiatsu), Ayurveda and chanting mantras. 

The Yoga Classes are supported by guided meditation and short but important talks.

You can also share all 8 times with a friend and go 4 times each.

Sky has taught yoga since over 30 years and is known to give well balanced, intuitive classes with humour and depth. He is also the lead trainer of the Sama Yoga teacher training, since over 15 years.

Sama Yoga is taught intuitively from the heart, it’s a practice that brings you back to yourself, to land in relaxation, trust and contentment with whatever your life brings. Sama Yoga brings balance and health physically, mentally and emotionally. 

 "The teacher sensed my needs and delivered just what i wanted” is a common feeling after a Sama Yoga class with Sky. It's is a wonderful middle way and closest to Hatha yoga flow style, that offers clear guidance thru all aspects of yoga and each session is tailored to meet the students where they are at. Some classes will be primarily focused on relaxation poses with special guidance on how to feel and release holding patterns. Other classes will be more invigorating and challenging, but with the teachers help it can be highly enjoyable, flow easily and very accessible to all levels of experience.
