PETER SANSON LONDON WORKSHOP 2025

Astanga Yoga Teacher Peter Sanson returns to London

Legendary Ashtanga Yoga Teacher Peter Sanson (pictured left) returns to London from Downunder in September 2025, where he will teach a workshop here at Astanga Yoga Here in Archway, London, assisted by long-time friend and Astanga Yoga teacher Roberta Giannotti.
 
Peter teaches in the traditional 'Mysore style' - as first taught to him by the late Yoga Guru Sri K. Pattabhi Jois (Guruji) in 1985, and more recently by Jois' Grandson, the late Yoga Guru R. Sharath Jois in Mysore, South India.

REVIEWS OF PETER SANSON'S WORKSHOPS

"I have seen him teach people who are really ill and injured...the young and those a lot older - all are welcome." "Peter is one of a kind - even though the room is crowded and you think he's forgotten you, he hasn't, he sees all. He is humble and encourages a gentle practice, and challenges you enough that you are out of your comfort zone yet within your own ability. He welcomes all kind of practitioners, I have seen him teach people who are really ill and injured to someone who is very advanced, the young and those a lot older - all are welcome. Just when you start questioning why you're doing this, in a very subtle way, he is there to support your practice and your doubts. And by all means bring your sense of humour!"

"His way of holding the space for the yoga to unfold and his profound knowledge and love of the practice are rare, and are transmitted through touch and in the way he physically assists the asana" "Peter is an exceptional teacher of Ashtanga yoga. He has a unique humorous and loving way of transmitting the practice. No matter if you are a beginner or more experienced student you will be inspired and moved by practicing with Peter. His way of holding the space for the yoga to unfold and his profound knowledge and love of the practice are rare, and are transmitted through his touch and in the way he physically assists in the asana. It is difficult to put it into words, you need to experience it!

"[Peter] usually gives a talk after practise. Do not miss this! He may tell funny stories from his...experience as... student and teacher, told always with humility and gratitude, but the point is ultimately a reminder of how we could and should live: with open minds and hearts." "I have been coming to Peter’s workshop in London for many years. I love his perception, his humour and encouragement. Most of all it is the joy with which he teaches this practice: with devotion and enthusiasm. On the Saturday or Sunday he usually gives a talk after practise. Do not miss this! He may tell funny stories from his lived experience as both student and teacher, told always with humility and gratitude, but the point is ultimately a reminder of how we could and should live: with open minds and hearts. For me this workshop has always felt like a renewal of my connection with this wonderful ashtanga practise."

"The first time I practised with Peter... I’d been practising Ashtanga Yoga for 17 years...he completely changed my approach... through his humble nature, humour...experience, compassion and complete presence and care for each and every student." "The first time I practised with Peter was 8 years ago. At that point in time I’d been practising Ashtanga Yoga for 17 years, but in that one session he completely changed my approach to practice through his humble nature, humour, depth of experience, compassion and complete presence and care for each and every student. In the room and during his talks he reminds us to see, feel and question what it means to be human, what it means to be present. If you practise Ashtanga Yoga & haven’t experienced Peter's teaching I would highly recommend it, as you never know it might be life changing!"
