Lino Miele Retreat at Houtskar

[Guest guest]

<And would like to know the format it took -

what did you do on a typical day... ><br><br>A

typical day started with the morning practise with people

coming in at set times in fixed groups. F. Ex. 5:00

group, 5:30 group, 6:15 group etc. All groups did their

practise in Mysore style, except for the kids yoga :-)

that was led and started at 9:00.<br><br>After the

practise there was breakfast and lunch and resting (on the

beaches, in your own room, in the nature, wherever).

Second leg of the days program started after the 15:30

snack when we had Yoga Playground (fun & technical

issues) or watched some videos, after that we had

Pranayama & Dinner. <br><br>The day usually ended with

30mins of meditation led by Lino and then it was time

for swim, sauna & nighty night.<br><br><and were

most people finnish, and which language did he teach

in?><br><br>The 'official' language of the retreat was English.

Lino, Tina, Elena (guest teacher from Milano), Juha,

and Petri used it to communicate with the

participants. There were something like 90 people attending the

workshop and most of them were Finnish (of course - we've

got the largest astanga scene & it was on our home

turf), but there were plenty of cool people from other

countries too: Germany, Denmark, Iceland, Russia,

Venezuela, and USA.<br><br><How did you like the

venue?><br><br>Very good. Must go there again next summer, Lino shall

come for three weeks. Wooha!
