“Hence an aspirant, by the grace of his Guru and constant practice of yoga, can someday realize... the Indweller that is of the nature of supreme peace and eternal bliss...”
Petri Räisänen is a devoted student of his Guru, Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, who has authorized Petri to teach (Petri’s biography and interview to Thomas Hjort Jensen).
Since 1994 Petri has been studying under the guidance of Lino Miele—director of Scoula di Ashtanga Yoga, Rome.
He is co-owner and director of Helsingin Astanga Yoogakoulu, one of the world’s largest Yoga Shalas, which he founded with his friend Juha Javanainen in 1997.
Petri wrote two books on Ashtanga Yoga (Primary and Intermediate Series) in collaboration with Sri K. Pattabhi Jois and his grandson Sharath Rangaswamy.
Petri periodically manages retreats and workshops all over the world, and since 2007 in Moscow (2009, 2007).
