TRE – Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises
TRE is a “shaking therapy” created by David Berceli is Petri’s favourite technique to release the tensions and empty the mind after the practice. We will practice the technique and experience the free movement of the body..which looks like Kundalini release, but is a natural way for the body and mind to work with the tensions and traumas.

-10:30-12:30 Workshop:
“The Vinyasa technique and Asana tips for the Primary and Intermediate series”.
Ashtanga yoga is a clear system which shows how to enter into, and exit from, the state of the asana. The Primary series is built on five different vinyasa types which are also the base for the Intermediate and Advanced sequences. Forward bends, twists, back bends, poses where we lie on the back and inverted (viparita karani) asanas all have their own vinyasa types. This information will provide clarity and peace in your Ashtanga Yoga practice.
Some people claim that the Ashtanga Yoga Guru, Pattabhi Jois, didn’t care about asana alignments or didn’t correct people’s ”wrong” poses. During my time with Pattabhi Jois and the book writing process, I found that it was not that he didn’t care, but it was about his way of seeing the students’ needs. He expected the students to show interest in the alignments and ask questions as they arose. If students were not actively interested, they would not receive the information. To be in Mysore, India, and practice with him alone didn’t always give the answers. I asked many questions and got just as many answers. We will go through these answers during this workshop.
