KADERMO / HANKO — 2 weeks — August 16-21, and
23-30, 2015
Teaching on a Yoga Retreat on a beautiful Finnish island in the ocean
Open to anyone
These 2 weeks (Sunday August 16th to Friday August 30nd) take place in The Midnight Sun Ashtanga Yoga Retreat, lead by yoga master, Stefan Engström. The retreats normally take only a small group of students to be able to create a nice close-knit group and a family atmosphere.
The retreat is located on the island of Kadermo about 10 km north east of Hanko (see map here) — a beautiful and almost untouched island with no shops or cars and hardly any other people.
This is a unique opportunity to experience yoga in untouched and idyllic surroundings far away from city lights where sunrise is at 4 am and sunset at 11 pm.
Where else can one listen to such silence, broken only by the sound of an owl hooting in the night, a woodpecker hacking away at a pine tree, seagulls squalling, a deer crying in the morning mist? This is the place where you can re-establish contact with
nature and your true self. Come and move into stillness with us.
David will be teaching each day on this retreat and will:
— help you understand your marvellous human design and function,
— guide you to gain a more centred balance and flexible support,
— work with you to improve the freedom, ease and safety of your yoga work,
— show you how to go about your yoga to gain strength and stamina without hard
work,
— help you to become more present and free of distracting thoughts and judgement,
— show you how wholeness and grace is a consequence of clarity of intention,
— and whatever else comes up from each of you in the course of the retreat...

ABOUT THE TEACHER
David Gorman has become widely known for his innovative and unique approach to making our human
functioning understandable, relevant and fascinating. In 1980 he published a 600-page illustrated
text on human structure and function called The Body Moveable,
now in its 5th edition, and in 1996 a collection of articles and essays, Looking At
Ourselves (now in its 2nd edition, available as a print book or as
an e-book).
David has been helping people make sense of and improve how they function as
well as recover from injury since the mid-70s.
He has taught the Alexander Technique since the late 70's and trained Alexander teachers until
1997 when his new LearningMethods work began to evolve from his discoveries.
He teaches private workshops, and at numerous universities, conservatories,
circus schools, yoga and fitness centres, etc. where
he helps faculty and students alike learn how to use the work for themselves and how to teach others.
He is training a growing number of teachers in the LearningMethods work, many of whom are also
teaching the LearningMethods work at conservatories and universities.
David is now writing another book covering the material of this workshop, parts
of which will soon be available in e-book and print format.
