Re: SWEDEN!!

I'll add some more contact information for you on
Sweden ... I'v been waiting for a chance to advertise
for the Swedish ashtanga scene in Stockholm which is
fairly lively and very nice.

Gittan has a
homepage in Swedish. The address is

target=new>http://www.ashtangayoga.org
In case you don't read Swedish,
please send an email
to her. The address is:

gittan.hendele@...

Gittan has been practicing for about 10
years I think,
possibly more, and also teaching for a long time. She
teaches traditional-style ashtanga and basically all her
advanced level drop-in classes are mysore style. She has
drop-in classes five times a week and also arranges a
number of weekend workshops each year as well as a
summer retreat of one or two weeks (this is where Lino
has taught in the past).

Maria Boox has a
studio named Yogashala Sodermalm, together with Lotta
Jacobsson.
telephone: 08-55 60 33 53,
fax: 08-55 60
33 54
email: yogashala@...
webpage:
www.ashtangayogashala.nu (in Swedish as well)

This studio offers
other kinds of yoga as well, Maria Boox also does
Iyengar yoga. Yogashala Sodermalm usually has mysore
practice monday, wednesday, friday and sunday morning (I
don't know their schedule this year though). Also a
very nice place to practice with very friendly and
good teachers.

Oh, yeah, both these shalas are
located in Stockholm. The only ashtanga teacher I know of
outside of Stockholm lives in Orebro ... I don't have her
information but you can email Gittan, if you want it. Neither
Malmo nor Gothenburg has any established ashtanga
teachers, but if you are in Malmo, the very nice ashtanga
school in Copenhagen is within reach. It's address is

www.astangayoga.dk

Good luck,
Annika

Annika - the link to Maria Boox' website,
target=new>http://www.ashtangayogashala.nu is very cool!! Certainly one of
the most unusual
sites of its kind I've seen so far. I hope that TLSlade
will add it to his gigantic list of yoga
links.

More information on Maria Boox can be found in the
'Hinduism Today' article on Rolf Naujokat's classes in Goa,
target=new>http://www.hinduismtoday.com/2001/1/#gen456 . Rolf Naujokat is
our national astanga hero, you
know - although he never comes to Germany.

<I hope that TLSlade will add it to his gigantic list of yoga
links.>

I have added links for the Swedish and Danish sites
mentioned.
