Matthew Vollmer
I began practicing astanga yoga in 1993 when, just by chance, I happened to see a man gracefully practicing what I now know as the primary series. The attraction was very strong… I watched the whole thing and found myself a teacher straight away.
Since then I have been fortunate enough to spend many months in India, both travelling and studying with my guru Sri K. Pattabhi Jois and his grandson Sharath Rangaswamy in Mysore. I was blessed and authorised to teach by Pattabhi Jois in July 2003 and am committed to maintaining the purity and simplicity of what I have been taught out of respect for the wisdom and generosity of my teachers.
I am dedicated to this practice because on good days I feel like I disappear as I move down through the outward movement to an inner stillness which nourishes me, teaches me about myself and helps me through the bustle of my daily life.
Now I came back to Brazil and am eager to share this powerful practice to which I owe so much. I want to help it spread, so that it may help people open to themselves as I have done to myself.

I came across astanga yoga whilst working at The Practice Place in Crete in 1998. I immediately incorporated a daily astanga practice into my life. After all these years, this practice still gives me focus, understanding about myself, my emotions and the chance to observe my habit patterns. Through astanga I got into meditation, which brought me even deeper transformations. The meditation practice is also part of day-to-day.
Além das aulas de ashtanga trabalhei também como massoterapeuta, e já organizei um projeto de yoga e meditação para crianças na escola dos meus filhos durante quase dois anos, uma experiência que foi muito rica antes de partirmos para Berlim.
It is a great pleasure to teach astanga and help others from so many diffrentes places to develop a daily and consistent practice.

Practice
This year due to Covid, the slots to practice cannot be confirmed yet. We will not be able to fill the room as usual and according to the number of students, we will have more slots. There is also the possibility that this year the Pranayama classes will not take place.
All classes will be Mysore style.
Those who participate longer in the workshop will have priority in time. The first time is usually given to those who participate in the full workshop. If you’ve signed up for two weeks, keep in mind that your schedule will likely be your last.
Some afternoons we will offer meditation or Patanjali’s sutras chanting.
Location
Classes will be taught at Ponta de Santo André. Located in the middle of the village, it is very easy to find. Just ask.
What to take
Yoga mat and towel for adjustments. If possible, take a cotton mat as you will probably sweat abundantly at this time of year.
