Who is Petri?

Petri Räisänen is an internationally known and respected Ashtanga Yoga teacher. Petri started practicing Ashtanga yoga in 1989 and teaching in 1991. He is co-owner and director of Ashtanga Yoga Helsinki, Finland, which he found with his friend and colleague, Juva Javanainen, in 1997. Since 2000 Petri has been teaching Ashtanga Yoga internationally. Petri focuses on integrating healing and therapy with yoga, meeting student’s individual needs and guiding their progress. Petri’s yoga pose adjustments are gentle, effective, therapeutic and, according to some, almost magical, and originate (besides his own practice and teaching) from his past work as a traditional Finnish folk healer and naturopath. His friendly, relaxed behaviour and intuitive perception give an open, energetic and meditative atmosphere to his classes. To reach the higher states of yoga, the individual, peaceful, disciplined and devotional yoga practice will be needed. The quietness, safe and tolerant environment together with a gentle and therapeutic yoga asana adjustments are giving the students space and opportunity for physical and mental healing and to find a new positive patterns in life.

In 2005, Petri wrote “Ashtanga Yoga – The Yoga Tradition of K. Pattabhi Jois” in collaboration with K. Pattabhi Jois and R. Sharath Jois. The book introduces the primary series (1st series) Ashtanga Yoga “vinyasa” method and philosophy, as well as its potential as a physical, mental, intellectual and spiritual practice. His intermediate series (2nd series) book “Nadi Sodhana” was released in 2008 and is written from the interviews with K. Pattabhi Jois and R. Sharath Jois in 2006-2007 in Mysore, India. Both books are written as part of Petri’s ongoing pilgrimage into Astanga yoga’s inner word, with a great sense of respect towards the Yoga Tradition. If you wish to buy the 2nd series book (30€), you can do at the workshop and have Petri sign your copy.

Who are we?

Kami and Martina are brought together by their shared love for yoga and for Petri. This is what led them to join forces and invite him back to Slovakia.

Martina has been studying with Petri since 2011 and spent many years assisting him at workshops and retreats before becoming a mother and returning to live in Bratislava. Like Kami, she runs her own intimate shala, where she regularly teaches small groups.

Kami is a long-time practitioner, an experienced teacher, and works with various body-based therapeutic approaches. She met Petri two years ago, and his approach resonated with her so deeply that she immediately decided to invite him to Slovakia.

This will be Petri’s third visit to Bratislava, and we are truly happy to offer the Slovak Ashtanga community a deep and authentic experience.

Kto je Petri?

Petri Raisanen je medzinarodne znamy a respektovany ucitel Ashtanga Yogy. Petri zacal praktizovat Ashtanga yogu v roku 1989 a ucit v roku 1991. Je spolumajitelom a riaditelom Ashtanga Yoga Helsinki vo Finsku, ktoru zalozil so svojim priatelom a kolegom Juva Javanainenom v roku 1997. Od roku 2000 Petri uci Ashtanga yogu po celom svete. Petri sa zameriava na prepojenie liecenia a terapie s yogou, pricom berie do uvahy individualne potreby studentov a vedie ich pokrok. Jeho upravy jogovych pozicii su jemne, efektivne, terapeuticke a podla niektorych takmer magicke. Vychadzaju (okrem jeho vlastnej praxe a ucenia) aj z jeho minulosti ako tradicneho finskeho ludoveho liecitela a naturopata. Jeho priatelske, uvolnene spravanie a intuitivne vnimanie vytvaraju na jeho hodinach otvorenu, energicku a meditativnu atmosferu. Na dosiahnutie vyssich stavov yogy je potrebna individualna, pokojna, disciplinovana a oddana prax. Ticho, bezpecne a tolerantne prostredie spolu s jemnymi a terapeutickymi upravami asan dava studentom priestor a prilezitost na fyzicke aj mentalne uzdravenie a na nachadzanie novych pozitivnych vzorcov v zivote.

V roku 2005 Petri napisal knihu „Ashtanga Yoga – The Yoga Tradition of K. Pattabhi Jois“ v spolupraci s K. Pattabhi Jois a R. Sharath Jois. Kniha predstavuje prvu seriu (1. seria) Ashtanga yogy, metodu „vinyasa“ a filozofiu, ako aj jej potencial ako fyzickej, mentalnej, intelektualnej a duchovnej praxe. Jeho kniha o druhej serii (2. seria) „Nadi Sodhana“ bola vydana v roku 2008 a je napisana na zaklade rozhovorov s K. Pattabhi Jois a R. Sharath Jois v rokoch 2006–2007 v Mysore v Indii. Obe knihy su napisane ako sucast Petriho neustalej cesty do vnutorneho sveta Ashtanga yogy, s velkym respektom k jogovej tradicii. Ak si zelates kupit knihu o 2. serii (30€), mozete tak urobit na workshope a dat si ju podpisat od Petriho.

A kto sme my?

Kami a Matu prepojila laska k joge a k Petrimu. A prave preto spojili sily, aby ho opat priniesli na Slovensko.

Mata studuje s Petrim od roku 2011, dlhe roky mu asistovala na workshopoch a pobytoch, az kym sa nestala mamou a vratila sa zit do Bratislavy. Rovnako ako Kami ma svoje vlastne komorne studio, v ktorom pravidelne uci male skupinky.

Kami je dlhodoba praktikantka, skusena ucitelka a venuje sa roznym terapiam s telom. S Petrim sa stretla pred dvoma rokmi v Portugalsku a jeho pristup ju natolko oslovil, ze sa ho rozhodla okamzite pozvat na Slovensko.

Petri pride do Bratislavy uz po tretikrat a velmi sa tesime, ze mozeme slovenskej astangovej komunite ponuknut skutocne hlboky a autenticky zazitok.
