Lino Miele

Lino Miele began his studies with Guruji in 1989. The previous year he and his wife, Tina, had spent six months travelling India trying to find an appropriate Yoga Master 'to fulfil our needs and expectations'.

Lino describes how, on the last day of their trip, they found Guruji.

 

We left Bangalore and on arrival in Mysore it took no effort to locate him. He was well known by local people and had the reputation of a Great Yogi. When we arrived at the Ashtanga Yoga Research Institute and home of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, it was a wonderful and rewarding experience. We knew that we had found our Master. With a smiling face he welcomed us inside. It was ironic that we were unable to stay, our time in India had run out. We now return to Mysore year after year and our love and faith in Guruji continues to grow.

 

Lino teaches workshops and retreats internationally, and is the founder of Schools of Ashtanga Yoga in his native Rome, in Helsinki and in Copenhagen. His simplicity and dedication to the practice and his devotion to his Guru mark Lino out as a very special teacher himself. For many years we had the good fortune to study with Lino in Kovalam and at many other retreats around the world and were blessed to have him teach here at the Shala every year up to 2006. We remain deeeply indebted to him for his great guidance. Our aim in the School is to maintain the tradition and clarity of the practice, which Lino received from Guruji and passed on to us.
