Sri K. Pattabhi Jois in Copenhagen (August 2006) | Morning Practice & Atmosphere

In August 2006, Sri K. Pattabhi Jois (Guruji) visited Copenhagen during his European tour for a historic 5-day workshop, organized by Lino Miele alongside the Astanga Yoga School of Copenhagen. This 30-minute archival footage captures the true essence of that week: from the quiet, focused early morning preparations to the collective energy of over 230 practitioners moving in unison each day at 7:00 AM. At 92 years old, Guruji guided the room through the traditional Ashtanga Vinyasa system, calling the precise counts of the Full Primary Series.
