“Knowledge belongs to no one and is given, simply for the asking; the greatest gift you can give a teacher in return for his sharing of knowledge is clearly understanding and assimilating what he/she teaches.” Swami Vagishananda Saraswati
Samayoga vision in a nutshell:
To provide support and training in all aspects of Yoga. Offering teaching that is based on the Vedas and guided by a traditional teacher, one who has been living a life of yoga for many years, has practiced all the disciplines and has integrated them into daily life. Encouraging self -development, study, practice, and living according to Universal Values and Vedic values. Emphasizing knowledge of oneself, the world and God, and understanding what is the purpose of life and the common human goal.
What is Samayoga?
Samayoga –The practices and disciplines that bring us to harmony and balance in all aspects of life as well as understanding the choices that bring us equanimity.
Samayoga is now officially recognized as a School by the Yoga Alliance and therefore the Students can apply for certification and membership with the Alliance. Ultimately, the wish is for the students to recognize themselves as acceptable and have the confidence to teach because they know they can, not because they have a paper.
A few words from Sky…
It’s been 4 years of offering Teacher Training programs and I must say it’s been an amazing journey! It’s been a great pleasure and joy sharing my heart, and passion for yoga, seeing the many students bloom and become great teachers. I too have grown a lot and continue to find better ways of conveying the Yoga teachings, mostly by being a devoted student of yoga in all aspects of my life.
I’m deeply grateful to Emma Öberg (Saumya devi) whom among many other roles has been a friend, student and teacher to me over the years. She has been an absolute blessing with all her efforts and devotion to organize and host yoga trainings, wholeheartedly supporting Samayoga from its conception. Understandably, she wishes to reclaim some of her precious time and re-direct her efforts into offering yoga therapy and healing, as well as spending time with her growing family. Wishing her all the best and blessings on her journey, she is ever a huge part of Samayoga and we honor her for all she’s contributed.
So now we gratefully welcome Klas Landahl and Anna Sunesson to the SamaYoga team for 2011.
Klas has been through a Samayoga teacher training program, and has been an absolutely shining student of yoga, over the years coming to be a good friend, brother and co-teacher/musician on several SamaYoga courses.
Not only is he a great musician he also has spiritual depth and is able to confidently lead a sacred ritual in the form of a 16 step Vedic Puja, handling the Sanskrit Language with clarity and precision. For aspiring yoga students this is a rare blessing that teaches us about devotion and healing emotions.
I've seen Klas grow a tremendous amount over the past 4 years, and he's clearly used the yoga teaching and wisdom of the Vedas to help him on his journey. His practice and commitment to Yoga and Vedanta is very solid, and because of this he's quickly become a great yoga teacher. Klas is an excellent example of how one can transform their life and truly shine in their full potential. I am very happy that he’s chosen to help organize, run and continue to participate with Samayoga.
Anna Sunesson is a dear friend and yoga student of many years. She is devoted to yoga life, teaching and maintaining a steady practice, self-reflection and exploring her passion to grow. Her heart is at home in the earth, offering her home-grown foods and luscious cooking, her knowledge of nature is a deep part of who she is. She truly values non-injury (ahimsa) and lives in harmony with nature. I always see her with her feet in the earth. She brings a sacred feminine balance to the Samayoga team.
Anna has great organizational skills and ideas plus the ability to implement them in course form. We have successfully run several yoga retreats together and they’ve always been smoothly run, heartfelt and well appreciated by all. I’m grateful to work with her again in this capacity and grow the Samayoga garden into a deeply nourishing School for all who come.
