Summer Yoga in Tuscany

with Anat Geiger and Joe Barnett
28th of July – 4th of August 2012

This summer I will be teaching YinYang Yoga in a gorgeous setting in Tuscany. Together with Joe Barnett, an American friend and colleague who has been working with Paul Grilley for many years, we hope to offer a very special summer treat.  Yin Yang Yoga is a unique combination of quiet, meditative poses and a strong, dynamic practice. We will stay in a traditional “borgo” which dates back to the 16th century with stunning views, nicely decorated rooms, a delicious veggie kitchen and swimming pool. Besides the yogaclasses twice a day you will have time to explore the area, like the lovely towns Volterra and Casole d’Elsa or go for a peaceful walk in the nearby forests and nature reserves. Of course you can also simply stay at the property and read a book by the pool or go for a massage.

Prayer for World’s Happiness

January 30 2011 was again World Yoga Day: in 33 countries yogis practice from 11 to 1 pm in the name of a good cause. In the event organized by the Yoga Magazine this year, the YogaGarden team – Johan, Marcel and I – taught a threesome class: 45 minutes of Ashtanga followed by 45 minutes of Anusara, and 45 minutes of Yin Yoga to round up the practice. We finished with one of the many versions of a buddhist prayer, and since many people asked me for the text afterwards, I post it here for everybody to see:

May all beings be happy:

The ones I love and the ones I don’t love;

Those who live near and those who live far.

The big and the small.

The visible and the invisible.

May all beings everywhere be happy, and may my life be of service.

Thank you all for a beautiful, moving day.
