			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I think I have stayed with the <a href="http://www.yogameditation.com/">Scandinavian Yoga and Meditation School </a>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.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-97" title="28_cirkel_haa_image_550_w" src="http://mensyoga.files.wordpress.com/2009/01/28_cirkel_haa_image_550_w.jpg?w=480" alt="28_cirkel_haa_image_550_w"   />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.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-93" title="29_karma_yoga_in_the_fields_image_300_w" src="http://mensyoga.files.wordpress.com/2009/01/29_karma_yoga_in_the_fields_image_300_w.jpg?w=480" alt="29_karma_yoga_in_the_fields_image_300_w"   /></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>this is what you get at a course in Haa course centre</p>
<p>- a lot of yoga<br />
- teachers who are very focused and most of the time friendly<br />
- good value for money<br />
- good discipline in the yoga room and on the course</p>
