The Path of Yoga Knowledge
The course (in Finnish), which includes yoga philosophy and practical exercises, leads to a holistic understanding of yoga. What are the exercises based on and why can they promote an individual's physical and psychological development? In addition to Patanjali's eight components (asana, yama, niyama, pranayama, pratyahara, dharana, dhyana and meditation), the approach covers basic knowledge related to energy anatomy (bandhas, mudras and chakras). The course is suitable for everyone interested in yoga. It is especially recommended for those who have practiced asana for a few years.
The course, which starts monthly and is always held on Thursday evenings at 17:30-20:30 at KalpaTaru's premises on Uudenmaankatu in Helsinki, covers 4 evenings. The total price is 155 euros. Registration by the 20th of the previous month. The group takes max. 8 participants. Tutor Tarja Kallio-Tamminen
Yoga nidra
Yoga Nidra is a relaxing and effective meditative exercise, whose effects e.g. into the slowing down of brain waves has been studied a lot. Its regular practice can, through the holistic relaxation of the body, lead to deeper and deeper states where thinking ceases and the content of consciousness expands towards the core of existence.
Yoga Nidra training takes place every month on Friday evenings from 18-20 at KalpaTaru's premises on Uudenmaankatu in Helsinki. The total price for four times is 90 euros. The group accepts a maximum of 8 participants. Tutor Tarja Kallio-Tamminen
Example of the themes
Conscious presence
Conscious presence opens the way to a state of inner peace, strength and integrity. The 2-hour orientation course is suitable, for example, for companies.
Keys to mind control
The course explores the intersections of meditative tradition and neuroscience. How the functions of the mind can be consciously developed with appropriate asana, breathing and meditation exercises.
Self-knowledge in the spirit of Patanjali
Deepen your understanding of yoga, meditation, and the possibilities of being human. Patanjali's classical yoga sutras have remained relevant for millennia.
Feel for emotional locks
Attitudes are certain mind-established ways of thinking and reacting, or schemas that often almost imperceptibly guide the life of their carrier. Recognizing your patterns is the starting point for opening them and finding even better ways of working.
Chakra course - a journey of discovery into the inner dimensions of a human being
Cakras related to human internal energies are already mentioned in the ancient Upanisads. Through them, all human resources and psychological traits with their individual variations can be structured.
Summer retreat in Ahola
Give yourself time to quiet slow-down and become whole, find your own way of being and realize the possibilities of your existence. Soothing yoga, quiet meditation, mental imaging and breathing exercises are combined in the nature-friendly Ahola with relaxing beach sauna and relaxed conversations in the middle of green nature. A small group (6-8 people) of self-exploring fellow travelers offers an uncomparable interactive mirror that can dramatically strengthen the discovery of new stimuli and the sustainable flourishing of insights.
Ahola is the atmospheric main building of an old garden farm in Niemenkylä, Taavetti (220km to Helsinki, 40km to Lappeenranta and 55km to Hamina). The house has three 2-4 person bedrooms, but only one eco-friendly bathroom. In the traditional way, hygiene needs are also served by a lakeside sauna and a wooden stove.
