Yoga Report

I think I have stayed with the Scandinavian Yoga and Meditation School through the years because they deliver a down to earth version of yoga. After my first session with them on a health exhibition in Gothenburg  my whole body was totally relaxed and this was a new experience for me.  After some evening classes and a trip to India I decided to give their 3-months course at Haa Course Center in the south of Sweden a go.

I had never been to their coursecenter before and I thought it was going to be like a vacation with a little bit of yoga in between. The following weeks of hard physical labour and a lot of physical yoga was not something I had expected. After years in front of a computer it was a great relief to work with the WHOLE body.

I have to admit that in some ways this is the toughest thing I have done in my life. Not because of the physical work but because of the deep confrontation with what is really me.  In the long silent period a lot of thoughts surfaced who I had suppressed in my daily life for a long time. I was grateful for the heavy labour such as wood chopping and lifting stones which I enlisted for as much as I could. It was like training in an old school gym. I had doubts during the course and as the course intensified I really had to struggle.

If I should summarise this course it would be that it really focused my thinking and it brought clarity to my mind.  I started to study at university shortly after this course and My first year of study was with really good grades. I felt totally focused on the studies and I think the course was the reason for this.

this is what you get at a course in Haa course centre

- a lot of yoga
- teachers who are very focused and most of the time friendly
- good value for money
- good discipline in the yoga room and on the course
