I wanted to go to a workshop that they were hosting with Sharon Gannon and David Life founders of jivamukti yoga, but it didn't work out with my school schedule. (hopefully they will come back, they seem like really interesting people!)<br /><br />Well I just checked their site now and they are having an open house on February 6 with free yoga classes all day! Wow, talk about timing! The schedule is on their website:<br /><br />http://www.yogayama.se<br /><br />Nothing is better than free if you're a student. unless it includes free wine!swedishyogi...https://www.blogger.com/profile/03761629833573384695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8387144534535925987.post-68289521718090845342010-01-29T17:25:24.058+01:002010-01-29T17:25:24.058+01:00HAHA I was going to ask you guys the same thing! ...HAHA I was going to ask you guys the same thing! <br /><br />I wrote a post on my blog about the price differences between Swedish and Canadian yoga studios....yikes! <br /><br />http://livinginsweden-stayingpresent.blogspot.com/2009/09/lovehate-relationship.html<br /><br />I have resorted to doing yoga at home (mainly from yogadownload.com) and have joined SATS which have some yoga classes. The ones I went to were pretty weak (well, to be fair they were a) in Swedish so hard for me to understand and b) done in a gym when I'm used to an awesome studio space). I would love to try a *real* studio but cannot afford the high costs on a student budget :(<br /><br />I am, however, teaching a few classes to KI students for free mainly to keep my teaching skills and also as a karma yoga project. I have a super heavy school workload (probably like Stu??) and am not sure if I would have the time to teach even if I wanted to. BUT, that said, during my research of yoga studios I didn't see any advertisements for English yoga classes. Untapped market?? or does that mean the likelihood of getting a teaching gig is next to none?? I never tried to find out.<br /><br />I did however go to a really awesome kirtan a few months ago, with Dave Stringer from the US, so all his dialogue was in English! BONUS! I'll let you know of any future ones (if you're interested of course!) cause its always fun to go with other yogis (and english speaking ones at that!)<br /><br />See why I reserved this comment for another time?? Its so easy for me to ramble when talking about yoga :)swedishyogi...https://www.blogger.com/profile/03761629833573384695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8387144534535925987.post-58694130217632877242010-01-29T13:06:16.412+01:002010-01-29T13:06:16.412+01:00Both of you should definitely *try* SFI, like you ...Both of you should definitely *try* SFI, like you said, it could be hit or miss. I also hear that if you take the morning courses (they generally run from 8:30-12 every day) you do get more out of them and your classmates are probably more serious. But who has that kind of time? I was taking an evening course twice a week.<br /><br />And swedishyogi...are you an instructor here in Stockholm? Stu (my husband) is a hatha/vinyasa instructor, but hasn't found a studio to practice or work at here yet. Any recommendations?Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07536743099976117592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8387144534535925987.post-45839706866342425272010-01-29T11:12:09.325+01:002010-01-29T11:12:09.325+01:00I have to admit, I've also been here for 6 mon...I have to admit, I've also been here for 6 months and my Swedish is shamefully beginner as well! So don't feel bad, there are others in the same boat as you ;)<br /><br />I, on the other hand, have still not done the SFI course yet, though I guess I better get on that soon. From what I've heard, it can either be hit or miss. You will probably learn more from the courses that you have to pay for, and I'm interested to hear more about your Swedish progression!swedishyogi...https://www.blogger.com/profile/03761629833573384695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8387144534535925987.post-18004230642686382122010-01-28T02:40:16.655+01:002010-01-28T02:40:16.655+01:00I'm moving to Sweden in April, and planning to...I'm moving to Sweden in April, and planning to take SFI classes. I'm actually a university language professor myself, so I'm a little worried I'll be disappointed in the way the classes are run. I'll give it a go, anyway.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14587793749927806976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8387144534535925987.post-35222968970337209702010-01-27T23:41:04.042+01:002010-01-27T23:41:04.042+01:00Not out of the woods yet.
