Mikael Bede has been practicing yoga for almost
20 years. He started in California as a means to
regenerate his overworked sports body. During an
enlightening visit to India 10 years ago where he studied
traditional Yoga he became hooked with the enormously
healing powers of yoga and became the first certified
male Swedish teacher in Iyengar yoga.

He has studied with some of the best teachers in India,
France and Sweden.

The postures in Iyengar Yoga have been structured and
categorised so as to allow a beginner to progress surely
and safely from basic postures to the most advanced as
they gain flexibility, strength and sensitivity in mind,
body and spirit.

Correct body alignment allows the body to develop
harmoniously in an anatomically correct way so that the
student suffers no injury or pain when practising correctly.
As all bodies are different and people have different
weaknesses and strengths.

Mr Iyengar's unrelenting emphasis on correct anatomical
alignment and methods of working have refined the
therapeutic aspects of Yoga. Thus practice of Iyengar
yoga will often result in eliminating aches and pains,
improve posture etc.

Duting this retreat there will be two sessions of Iyengar
yoga (morning and afternoon) of 3 hours duration.

Evenings activities include sauna and chanting.
