Guest guest Posted February 24, 2001 Report Share Posted February 24, 2001 Good news: according to his website, <a href=http://www.ashtanga.co.uk/main.htm target=new>http://www.ashtanga.co.uk/main.htm</a> (check the "Workshop" section), Astanga master John Scott will hold a workshop in Germany on June 1 - 3 this year. For further details, e-mail Frank Hinrichsen in Hamburg: FrankHinrichsen ..<br><br>(Dear Astanga Yoga teachers of the world,<br><br>Yes, in this country, we don't just drink our beer and eat our sauerkraut all the time. Yes, as it happens, some nuts here practise Astanga Yoga too.<br><br>You should take notice.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 24, 2001 Report Share Posted February 24, 2001 Herr Skull,<br><br>Thanks for the information about John Scott in Hamburg. John is a great teacher - I did a couple of workshops with him when I was still in England, and my original teacher was a student of his. I like Frank too - he did a good workshop in Munich a couple of months ago. And people (mostly non-Bavarians!) keep telling me I should visit Hamburg. AND Lufthansa wrote last week to tell me I have enough air miles for a free domestic flight. So see you in Hamburg, probably. (I might even get to meet Lu from Kiel there too)<br><br>I think you already know about David Swenson's workshop in Munich, 23rd to 25th March. Lino Miele is also doing a workshop in Munich, 25th to 27th May. Who knows? Maybe one day Germany won't be such an ashtaga backwater.<br><br>As for America ... been there loads of times - SF, Boston, New York, the South West (I love the desert, amazing landscapes, must get some of the photos onto my website one day), Houston (didn't know at the time that David Swenson lives just round the corner from where I was working. Pity). Love visiting the place, but the culture is far too wierd for me ever to consider living there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 25, 2001 Report Share Posted February 25, 2001 Hello Alan, I do enjoy reading your posts. They are well thought out and have good advice. Would you mind elaborating on what you meant by Americas culture being too wierd for you to consider living here? Just curious to know what is "too wierd" for your tastes. Thanks Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 26, 2001 Report Share Posted February 26, 2001 I agree: the American culture is weird indeed. But I guess, Americans think our European culture to be weird too ( all these strange traditions, the snobbery, the old-fashioned ways...).

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2001 Report Share Posted February 26, 2001 I'm sure you are right. But it was surprising to me, when I came to work in Germany after having visited the States a couple of times, to find that I felt immediately very comfortable and at home here despite the different language. I feel more foreign in America, despite the (approximately) common language. Which I guess just says that we Brits are European, although so many of us really don't want to admit it.<br><br>(Mike, that's the short version. Your question deserves a more thorough and considered reply - coming soon.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
