R. Alexander Medin is a native of Oslo, Norway where he grew up pursuing many different talents. He became Norwegian Champion in boxing at 18, but then gave it up for a career as a ballet dancer. He was first introduced to Ashtanga Yoga in 1995 and it's been part of his daily practice since. After many visits to Mysore, he was granted a Certification to teach Ashtanga Yoga by Pattabhi Jois in 2002. In 2004, he completed his post-graduate degree in Sanskrit and Indian Religions and has since taught Yoga in many places around the world.
He never stopped visiting Mysore. From 2006 to 2008 he fully moved to Asia. He lived 9 months a year in Mysore, India where he enrolled for a Vedanta degree at the Sanskrit Pathashala as the only Westerner around Brahmins. Beside his daily Asana practice with Sri K.Patthabi Jois at the Ashtanga Yoga Research Institute he went on to deepen his yoga path in various ways. The rest of the year he lived in Hongkong, teaching Yoga at Pureyoga Hongkong.
His long time and long term devoted studies in Yoga, Sanskrit and philosophy in Mysore made him a a very close and personal friend of the Jois family, Guruji, Sharath and Saraswati.
HORST ÜBER ALEX
Ich habe Alex bei meiner ersten Yogalehrerausbildung als Teil des Lehrerteams kennen gelernt. Kurz darauf bei meinem ersten Besuch in Mysore hatte ich das Glück Alex am 1. Tag in die Arme zu laufen. Er lud mich ein in seinem Haus zu wohnen und so verbrachte ich meine ersten 6 Monate in Mysore unter seinen Fittichen. Gleich am nächsten Tag schickte er mich in meine ersten Sanskrit Stunden, 3 x die Woche zu Yoga Sutren & Chanting Unterricht und vieles mehr. Viele seiner „local friends“ sind auch meine Freunde geworden und wichtige Impulsgeber auf meinem Yogapfad. Durch ihn habe ich Mysore ganz anders, mit einer viel tieferen Sicht in Yoga kennengelernt, als man es sonst als Westler beim ersten Aufenthalt erleben kann. Ich bin ihm dafür sehr dankbar.
Alex ist ein sehr vielseitiger Mensch voller Überraschungen, der es aber schafft in allen Bereichen sehr tief und weit zu gehen. Seine intensiven Studien, ebenso seine Asana Practice sind beeindruckend, sein Humor und seine Unbekümmertheit sind legendär. Bei uns würde man vielleicht sagen er ist ein „bunter Hund“, aber mit einem besonders tiefen Verständnis in die Wissenschaft von wahrem Yoga.

Es gibt über Alex nicht viel Bildmaterial oder Information im Web zu finden, da er sich selber nicht "vermarktet", aber ich habe euch anbei einige Dinge mit und über ihn zum Download bereit gestellt bzw. gelinkt, damit ihr die Vielfalt dieses Menschen erkennen könnt. |
This workshop is for all practitioners of Yoga seeking a deeper understanding in how to embody the simple principals of Yoga in a daily life – particularly off the Yoga mat. Very often people who practice Yoga sooner or later experience an incredible sense of Joy and Peace. Unfortunately this experience tend to fade as we encounter various stressfull and difficult situations in life – or we may be pushing ourselves to an extreme in our daily practice resulting in nothing but frustration.
This course builds upon the traditonal form of Ashtanga Yoga as developed by Pattabhi Jois, from Mysore, India. The purpose of the workshop is to guide the practitioner into a deeper experience of yoga through focusing on the main principals of Yoga, namely: Yamas, Niyamas, Asana and Pranayama. The Classical Yoga philosophy according to Patanjali will be discussed and implemented on a practical level.

What does it mean to be steady and comfortable in ones Asana Practice? How is it possible to let go of the constant stream of thoughts, emotions and ideas bombarding us in a steady stream of oppositions. Is it possible to gain greater freedom and inner peace from exercises that are apparently quite strenous? |

This is also a traditional class of Asthanga Vinyasa Yoga, yet here the main focus is on better receptivity of breath. This will be done by implementing a particular way of breathing in various sequences in order to create greater expansion to the life force (Prana) from within. Specific breathing techniques will also be taught for preparation in meditation. |
