09:00-11:00 All aboard the Ashtanga train
Yoga Chikitsa: A fully conducted primary series class.
This class is designed for those already familiar with the first series of Ashtanga vinyasa yoga yet it is open to all levels of proficiency from the daily-practicing-professional ashtanga aficionados to the novice fit-it-in-when-I-can weekend warrior and everyone in between. The class will be conducted like a train ride that will continue flowing along all of the way from the opening sun salutations to the closing sequence. Prior to beginning the talk-through practice session David will present alternatives to some of the more challenging asanas of the first series as well as give some user-friendly options for the vinyasa-challenged individuals needing other methods than the standard jumping techniques. There will be time at the end of the flow to enjoy a deep relaxation. Hop of the train and enjoy the ride!

13:00-15:30 Flying, floating and handstanding
A fun-filled exploration of vinyasa and arm-balances.
One of the greatest challenges of the Ashtanga flow is the vinyasa. In this class David will break the vinyasa down into its basic components. He likes to refer to this as: "The Physics of Flight". Participants will explore techniques for creating greater lightness and efficiency of practice while using less effort to achieve greater ease. The class will also explore the elements of handstands and arm-balances. It is common to feel intimidated or even frightened by balancing on our hands. David will address this issue and offer techniques and practical methods of approach to allow for greater confidence and ability that can be carried away and applied within a personal practice. This will all be done through the avenue of insightful and simple methods he has designed through decades of practice and teaching others. There will be partner work as well as individual techniques offered. There is always plenty of laughter and fun as well as a depth of information in this class. All levels may attend even if you have never done a handstand before. Alternatives are always given. Come and experience the joy of flight!

16:00-17:30 Breath, bandhas and pranayama
Exploring the mantra of ujjayi and the mysteries of energy locks.
In Sanskrit, man means mind and tra means to free or deliver. Therefore the word mantra means to free the mind. There are many mantras in yoga such as Om, Hare Krishna, Om Namo Shivaya and a plethora of others. In Ashtanga vinyasa yoga the mantra is the sound of our breath: Ujjayi. There is no other sound more universal than breath. It is not tied to language or culture and is "chanted" from the first moment of birth. This class will focus on the mantra of ujjayi within asana practice as well as during pranayama. In addition to breath work the class will also explore the invisible world of bandhas. We well attempt to gain greater understanding of these subtle yet powerful tools through interactive discussion as well as a series of practical exercises.

09:00-11:00 Ashtanga's greatest hits
Curious about some of the more intricate or advanced asanas but have felt intimidated by them or uncertain about how to approach them in your practice? Then this class is for you! David will take the group on a special guided tour of select asanas from the primary, intermediate and even from the advanced series of asanas. If you are not familiar with the more challenging postures there is no need to be scared of them! David has designed the class for students of all levels to attend. He has an amazing ability to break down the essence and energetic foundation of any asana to allow practitioners of all levels to feel comfortable and confident when exploring realms of the practice that they find most challenging. There are always plenty of safe and sensible alternatives offered so that the student may utilize the most comfortable approach for their particular level. David’s classes are always full of valuable information as well as plenty of laughter and joy.

13:00-15:30 Inversions and backbends
Planting roots and growing confidence.
Whether you are frightened of inverting or love to hang out upside-down and whether you have a flexible back or a stiff board-like spine there is much to be learned from David’s insightful tools for building confidence and gaining control in inversions and backbends. David will take the class on a journey of exploration into the unseen world of gravity and share methods of how to utilize this perpetual energy as a stabilizing force for establishing our roots from which we can grow into inversions and backbends with greater ease and more confidence. He will teach the participants methods to expand the front of the body and open the heart rather than collapse the back in order to discover greater depth in a backbend with less effort and more grace and efficiency. David likes to encourage patience when he teaches. He phrases it like this: "The strongest trees in the forest grow the slowest!" Take the seeds of information he shares and plant them within the fertile ground of your personal practice and watch them grow and blossom over time!

16:00-17:30 Eight limbs and daily life
How does this practice apply within the context of daily living?
Underlying the mysterious and complex philosophy of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras there is a truly profound simplicity that may be applied within the context of our daily lives. This class will discuss the eight limbs of Ashtanga yoga and explore their applications within our day-to-day life. What is the use of philosophy without real application? We may memorize quotations or stanzas from great writings but unless we can apply them within our life they are merely words spoken rather than knowledge realized.

Deltagere, training
Du behøver ikke at være eller have intention om at blive yogalærer for at deltage. Mange har deltaget på tidligere 'trainings' for at udbygge og fordybe deres personlige praksis. Hvis du underviser i yoga, kan du dog her finde en mangfoldighed af værktøjer, som du kan dele med dine elever.
Deltagerne bør have en veletableret personlig Ashtanga vinyasa yoga praksis og forstå flowet og sekvensen af asanas. Dette kursus er ikke designet til at lære dig sekvensen, men til at lære dig at undervise i Ashtanga vinyasa yoga og til at fordybe en eksisterende praksis.
Gå ikke glip af denne mulighed!
Som i alle andre kurser med David er der garanti for at få masser af grin og fornøjelse vævet ind i oplevelsen. Du vil lære mere, end du troede muligt på en uge, og samtidig have det rigtig sjovt undervejs.
Om David Swenson
David begyndte at praktisere yoga i 1969 i en alder af 13 år. Hans ældre bror Doug var hans første lærer. De praktiserede hatha yoga fra alle de bøger, som de kunne finde.
Davids introduktion til Ashtanga kom i 1973, da han mødte David Williams og Nancy Gilgoff i Encinitas, Californien. I 1975 inviterede David og Nancy for første gang Sri K. Pattabhi Jois til USA, og Swenson var så heldig at være med. Han begyndte derefter at studere direkte under mesteren. Swenson tog første gang til Mysore i 1977 og lærte hele Ashtanga systemet sådan, som K. Pattabhi Jois oprindeligt underviste det.
Davids bog og dvd'er kan købes i shalaen. Læs mere på Ashtanga Yoga Productions.
