Ashtanga Yoga-Phuket, Thailand

ASHTANGA YOGA @ SUKKO SPA

Open Now

Ashtanga Yoga is an authentic and in-depth tradition. It emphasizes the “Vinyasa”, a Sanskrit word meaning “breath linking movement”. One Asana (posture) is therefore linked to another in a correct order like a flow. This practice, done correctly under the guidance of qualified teacher, not only purifies and strengthens the body but also leads to clear and calm mind.

The Mysore Class---named after the city in South India where Sri K. Pattabhi Jois currently teaches---is unique compared to other Yoga Asana classes. Students are taught to do the Asanas on an one-on-one basis, hence they can practice at their own paces, with guidance and assistance from a teacher when necessary. This peaceful environment allows students to easily tune into their breath---the vehicle by which the body and mind are observed and eventually transcended.

Sukko is honored to offer traditional Ashtanga Yoga in the same method as taught by the Guru, Sri K. Pattabhi jois (www.ashtanga.com, www.ayri.org).

About the teacher : Kerstin Bilgmann

Kerstin found her passion for yoga in 2006 when she developed a daily vinyasa flow yoga practice in Sydney, Australia. While she was doing a PhD in Marine and Molecular Biology in Sydney, yoga became her life support that gave her the inspiration and strength to keep going in all life situations. Her passion for yoga and her daily practice led her to attend a yoga teacher training in Goa, India in 2008 under Louisa Sear and her ‘yoga arts’ teacher training group. Kerstin started teaching vinyasa flow yoga in Bondi Beach, Sydney, shortly after.

In 2008 Kerstin discovered her passion for ashtanga yoga and has had a daily ashtanga yoga practice since then studying under certified teacher Eileen Hall in Sydney and travelling to Mysore, India to meet the famous Guru Sri K Pattabhi Jois. Kerstin has visited Mysore three times to study yoga at the KPJAYI with R. Sarath and Saraswati and was authorised to teach ashtanga yoga (level 2) in September 2012.

Kerstin’s love for marine Biology, in particular dolphin and whale conservation, has taken her to many different locations around Australia and overseas upon completion of her PhD. During this time Kerstin studied under several other well known certified and authorised ashtanga yoga teachers including Rolf Naujokat, Mark Robberds, Simi Roche, Youngblood Roche, Andrew Hillam, Russel Case, Heike Katharina Schmidt and Matthew Sweeney. Kerstin’s love for ashtanga yoga has changed her life. Once stepping onto the mat there was no return and she is ever grateful for having found this practice. Kerstin is passionate about passing on her love for yoga as it is an inner journey to personal freedom and happiness available to anyone.
