Ashtanga Yoga Retreat

with Laruga Glaser

Certified Yoga Teacher by Shri K.Pattabhi Jois

A unique opportunity to deepen your connection to the traditional ashtanga yoga practice with one of the fewest world certified teachers, while surrounded by the beauty of Ibiza’s Mediterranean landscape.

This retreat is open to practitioners of all levels, offering an enriching experience for everyone.

About the Workshops

Ashtanga: The Path & The Journey
Through consistent practice, our time on the mat can transform into a work of art, creating stillness within motion. Reaching a state of flow involves uniting all internal elements and resting in awareness within our physical being. This workshop will explore how to create depth in the practice by developing conscious attention and strength throughout the body-mind. We’ll begin by eliminating excess, energy-draining movements and connecting with the downward and upward flows, known as prana and apana. This workshop will inspire you to explore and express the beauty of yoga in every movement and breath.

Core Integrity
In this workshop, delve into the essential network of the bandhas and core muscles, tuning into the central axis of the body. Understanding how to effectively engage the bandhas not only enhances lightness and stability in the body but also brings clarity to the mind. This session will help you connect more deeply with this often elusive aspect of Ashtanga yoga, making it accessible and beneficial for practitioners of all levels.

Ashtanga Transitions
Master the art of dynamic transitions with this workshop focused on the jump-back and jump-through techniques of the Ashtanga practice. While these movements can be challenging, they don’t have to be elusive. We’ll break down the components, providing practical tools to build inner strength and fluidity. Discover how the primary series prepares you for these transitions and experiment with jumping into and out of various postures, enhancing your ability to move gracefully and adaptively.

Inversions and Spatial Awareness
Inversions offer a unique blend of restorative, exhilarating, and challenging experiences. This workshop will guide you through a progressive approach to mastering inversions, starting with basic poses and advancing to more demanding ones. Learn essential techniques and good practices to establish a solid foundation, helping you build strength and spatial awareness as you navigate the challenges of practising upside down.

About Laruga

Laruga Glaser has been practicing Ashtanga yoga continuously for over 28 years. Starting at the beginning of her 20s, she was immediately drawn to the practice after working with other forms of yoga years prior.

After establishing a committed practice she then deepened her studies traveling to Mysore, India annually to practice at KPJAYI where the late Sri K. Pattabhi Jois taught and now his grandson, R. Sharath Jois teaches.

Laruga has made more than 15 trips to Mysore and is on a mission to continue to learn and grow as a student as well as a teacher. She is one of the few in the world who have been given the distinction of being certified to teach up to Advanced B, which is not easily given and takes many years to earn. In this regard, she honors where the source of the practice comes from, continuing to respect and give high regard to the lineage we are blessed to experience this transformative method.
