Petri Raisanen is a well known figure in the Ashtanga yoga world. Practicing since 1989 and teaching since '91, this is not without reason. His wealth of experience is also based on his training in traditional Finnish folk healing he undertook from a young age in his native country.  His adjustments are the stuff of legend. Gently profound and without a hint of cliche - energetic. As well as this, he has co-authored 2 books with Pattabhi Jois and Sharathji, the first Ashtanga Yoga (2005) on the Primary Series, and Nadi Shodhana (2008), on the Intermediate. These are beautifully photographed as well as uniquely instructional - almost no one else has had the privilege or this rare collaboration.  Yet, Petri remains humble, quiet and self-effacing. He attributes this to his Finnish culture, but we still find him as a man, as well as a teacher, quite remarkable.
