Workshops in Germany

[Guest guest]

I live in Germany and "try" to practise Asthanga

Vinyasa Yoga for about 1 1/2 years now.<br>As there are

very few teachers in Germany I have to practise on my

own most of the time. Because I have two children

it's difficult to go to the USA, <br>UK or India to

learn. Besides there aren't so many workshops in Germany

with teachers from abroad because there still is not

enough interest. It is difficult to find more than 20

people for a workshop.<br>Has anyone hints on planned

workshops in Germany or middle Europe ?<br>How can I

motivate myself to go on on my own ?

I found it hard when I first came to Germany

after practicing astanga for nearly three years in

England. There was no astanga teacher in Munich until the

last couple of months, so I went to iynegar and

sivananda classes and just did astanga practice on my own.

Hard to stay motivated without sometimes having the

group energy, though.<br>Where do you live? There are a

few astanga teachers in Germany now. Bettina Anner

teaches in Munich - 089 271 2905. <br>There are also a

couple of websites with directories of astanga

teachers:<br><a href=http://www.yoga.co.uk/list.html

teachers listed in Frankfurt, Bodensee,

Hamburg and Zurich. I don't know any of these people but

a couple of friends of mine know Hari Gaertner in

Frankfurt and say he is very good.<br>Lino Miele also does

workshops in Munich a couple of times a year. Email if
