Gregor´s Bio
Gregor Maehle began his yogic practices thirty years ago. In the mid-1980s he commenced annual travels to India, where he studied with various yogic and tantric masters, traditional Indian sadhus and ascetics. He spent fourteen months in Mysore, and in 1997 was authorised to teach #ashtangayoga by K. Pattabhi Jois. Since then he has branched out into researching the anatomical alignment of postures and the higher limbs of yoga. He gained his anatomical knowledge through a German Health Practitioner degree and has also studied history, philosophy and comparative religion at German universities.
In India Gregor also received eight months of mostly one-on-one instruction in scripture and the higher limbs of Yoga through B.N.S. Iyengar, a student of T. Krishnamacharya, and he studied Sanskrit under Professor Narayanachar and Dr Chandrasekhar. He lived for several years as a recluse, studying Sanskrit and yogic scripture and practising yogic techniques. Together with his wife, Monica, in 1996 he founded 8 Limbs in Perth, Australia. Today, along with maintaining a daily practice of the Primary, Intermediate and Advanced series of Ashtanga Yoga postures, he engages in research in the fields of pranayama, kundalini and meditation.
Gregor’s first books - Ashtanga Yoga: Practice and Philosophy and Ashtanga Yoga: The Intermediate Series - have sold more than 50,000 copies worldwide and have been translated into several foreign languages. He has been invited to many countries to teach and has contributed to and been interviewed by numerous yoga magazines. His 2012 publication Pranayama: The Breath of Yoga set a new benchmark in the practice of yogic breathing, while his latest book, Yoga Meditation: Through Mantra, Chakras and Kundalini to Spiritual Freedom, is the first to explain in detail, and with step-by-step instructions, the way in which yogis meditate.
Today he teaches an anatomically sophisticated interpretation of traditional vinyasa yoga, integrated into the practice of the higher limbs in the spirit of Patanjali and T. Krishnamacharya. His zany sense of humour, his manifold personal experiences, and his vast and deep knowledge of scripture, Indian philosophies and yogic techniques combine to make his teachings applicable, relevant and easily accessible to all his students. He offers workshops, retreats and teacher training worldwide, and can be contacted at 8limbs.com/abo...
From the Gita:
Whatever you do, whatever you eat, whatever you offer in sacrifice whatever you give in charity, whatever you practice as austerity, O Kaunteya, do it as an offering to Me.
