We welcome Adam Keen to Sarajevo, Ananda Yoga Centar, hosted by Adna on Friday Oct 10-Sunday 12th, 2025. Booking is here: on this link

– A Practical Approach to Ashtanga Yoga 

If your practice of yoga doesn’t create a better situation for you in everyday life, then something has gone wrong. Yoga is the science of manipulating the hidden dimension of energy, bur, still, a lot can be said about this and how to do it. In this weekend, we will try to make clear and relatable what is often mystified. 

FRIDAY OCTOBER 10
6.00 – 7.30 pm: Breathing Basics

The diaphragm is the thing in yoga. The aim of both vinyasa and bandha, its deeper experiencing is the reason we practice asana. But, first, it must be harnessed. We will look at how to do so, and then, how to use what is often now referred to as the muscle of the soul. No yoga clothes required but dress comfortably.

SATURDAY OCTOBER 11
8.00 – 10.00: Led Primary with Instruction

A unique led class featuring the vinyasa count as well as fundamental cues for each posture. Everyone will be made to feel welcome and safe in participating in this class, with options given regarding variations so everyone can do their version of the whole of the Primary series. There is no perfect or ‘traditional’ way we must do the postures.

10.30 – 12.00: Common Injuries, How to Prevent and Manage Them

We will discuss common injuries of the knees, lower back, and shoulders along with others, to find out why they happen, how to protect ourselves against them, and/or, how to rehab ourselves if they’ve already occurred by working with our practice (rather than stopping altogether).

12.30 – 14.00: History of Classical Yoga

The roots of yoga are diverse and highly worth considering further. In doing so, we shall look at the Vedas, the Upanishads, The Yoga Sutras and the idea of Hinduism and the claim that yoga is 5000 years old, to explore different perspectives on the history of yoga.

SUNDAY OCTOBER 12
8.00 – 10.00: Led & Self Practice

Adam will lead the class through the first part of primary, after which we will move on the self-practice following the Ashtanga sequence at whatever level you are at.

10.30 – 12.00: Backbends to Front Stretches

There is a way to approach backbends which immediately makes them less scary. Namely, to consider that you are not bending your back, rather lengthening through the whole of the front of your body. A lot may change when considering them from a different angle and with a few extra tips.

12.30 – 14.00: Modern Yoga Development in the 20th Century

Whether we like it or not, modern yoga practice is, indeed, modern. On the other hand, it does have classical precedents, along with some degree of innovation from certain key figures (one being Sri Krishnamacharya) at the turn of the century. In understanding how we’ve got to where we have, it makes it clearer as to how we might now move forward in our practices.

About Adam Keen:
Adam has been a yoga practitioner since 1999 and has taught Ashtanga yoga internationally for over twenty years. His style is open, non-dogmatic and eclectic while remaining rooted in an appreciation of the benefits of the method of ashtanga as he learnt it in Mysore, India.

In 2012 he completed the Advanced A sequence with Sharathji and was authorized to teach. Adam meets all students where they are, hopefully, with humour, kindness and inspiration, holding a safe and supportive space for personal inquiry. He is also the co-founder of Keenon Yoga and the Keen on Yoga podcast with his wife Theresa.

Otvorili smo vrata našeg studija ujutro i popodne za yoga praksu Ashtanga Mysore, i to svakog utorka i četvrtka u periodu od 07h do 09h i petak od 15h do 17:30h, gdje su dobrodošli svi praktikanti i paraktikantice Ashtanga yoge, a vođeni čas do Navasane svake srijede u 17:15 i subote u 08:00h 🙏🏽 Dolazak na Mysore časove je unutar prvog sata i kako bi se praktikovala svoja sekvenca uz asistenciju učiteljice, te svi završili prije kraja drugog sata.
Riječ Ashtanga sastoji se od dvije sanskritske riječi, “Ashta” i “Anga”. “Ashta” se odnosi na broj osam, dok “Anga” znači ud ili dio tijela. Stoga je Ashtanga sjedinjenje osam udova yoge, u jedan kompletan, holistički sistem. Ovih osam udova yoge predstavljaju različite grane filozofije Yoga sutri koje čine osnovu u školi Ashtanga yoge. Ashtanga filozofija je da integriše svih osam udova yoge, koji uključuju: Yama (moralni kodovi), Niyama (samodisciplina), Asana (poze), Pranayama (kontrola daha), Pratyahara (povlačenje čula), Dharana (koncentracija ), Dhyana (meditacija) i Samadhi (jedinstvo sa sobom).
👉🏽 Ashtanga vođeni čas već imamo svake srijede i subote u našem studiju, dok u Mysore stilu je otvoreno vrijeme za vježbanje od 2h (07:00-09:00h) gdje se praktikanti i praktikantice kreću kroz iste setove asana u svakoj sekvenci, ali svojim tempom. S obzirom da nije vođeni čas od strane učiteljice, morat ćete naučiti i zapamtiti asane i sekvence na ovom studijskom času. Možete očekivati više lične pažnje i praktične prilagodbe tj. asistencije na času yoge u Mysore stilu.
Ashtanga je veoma dinamičan i atletski oblik Hatha yoge, koji se sastoji od šest serija ili nivoa, sa fiksnim redosljedom položaja. Ukorijenjen je u Vinyasi, tečnim pokretima između položaja, s fokusom na energiju i dah. Iako je to vrlo fizička praksa, ona također promovira mentalnu jasnoću i unutrašnji mir.
Prvobitno, Ashtanga Yoga je kreirao T. Krishnamacharya kao individualiziranu praksu za svoje mlade energične učenike, kao što je bio K. Pattabhi Jois početkom 20. stoljeća. koji je kasnije popularizirao i kreirao sekvence koje danas radimo u istom obliku.
Postoji nekoliko ključnih principa koji su u osnovi prakse Ashtange. Ovaj višestruki pristup promovira fizičko zdravlje i mentalno blagostanje. Ovih pet principa su neophodni za uspješnu praksu ashtange:
1. Ujjayi pranayama: Ova specifična tehnika disanja koristi se u cijeloj praksi. Pobjednički dah je spora zvučna tehnika disanja koja se koristi za zagrijavanje, energiziranje i povećanje fokusa i koncentracije.
2. Drishti: U svakoj asani koristi se određena drišti, ili fokusna tačka. Ovo pomaže u stvaranju fokusiranije i meditativne prakse.
3. Vinyasa: Srž vježbe je sinhronizacija daha sa slijedom položaja i prijelaza u seriji.
4. Bandha: Angažman bandha, ili tjelesnih “brava”, ohrabruje se tijekom cijelog časa kako bi se zapečatila energija Prane i stvorila stabilnost jezgra.
5. Svakodnevna praksa: Ohrabruje se rutina od šest dana u sedmici.
