Jaroslav Pávek začal ako teenager cvičením jogy v Bratislave, potom sa začal zaujímať o jogu hlbšie. Objavil systém autentického cvičenia – Ashtanga Yoga. Túto študoval niekoľko krát počas pobytov spolu s učiteľskými technikami, filozofiou a ajurvédou v Indii, v samotnom srdci tejto tradície, ale aj v iných zahraníčných destináciach ako Indonézia, Brazília, Anglicko, Dánsko, Holandsko, USA,... kde na konci štúdií obdržal medzinárodné učiteľské certifikáty v objeme 900+ hodín, ktoré spĺňajú požiadavky na inštruktora podľa štandardov medzinárodnej Yoga Alliance. Dnes je jogovou špičkou na slovensku.

 

Jeho hlavná učiteľka 9 rokov študovala Ashtanga Yogu u Sri K. Pattabhi Joisa v Mysore v Indii, najvyššieho guru tohto druhu jogy 20. storočia na svete. Jaroslav však Ashtanga Yogu študoval s viacerými svetovými a špičkovými učiteľmi, medzi ktorými bol napríklad aj známy David Swenson, Nancy Gilgoff, Kino McGregor, Tim Feldmann, Caroline Klebl a cvičil pod vedením učiteľov priamo z rudu nesiaceho líniu Ashtanga jogy ako Manju Patthabi Jois. 

 

Tento prastarý druh jogy učí ho v jeho originálnej, pravej a nezmenenej forme. Jaroslav Pávek momentálne učí Primary a Intermediate Series. Organizuje pravidelné zahraničné yogové pobyty spojené s ajurvédou, pôsobí a učí Ashtanga Yogu na rôznych podujatiach, vedie pravidelné náučné teoretické aj praktické workshopy a učiteľské tréningy doma aj v zahraničí.

 

Je členom  Yoga Alliance USA a Yoga Alliance UK. To ho oprávňuje používať titul E.-R.Y.T (Experienced Registred Yoga Teacher), ktorý zaručuje splnenie všetkých medzinárodných kritérií a kvalít (tréningových, teoretických a praktických) na učiteľa jogy. Jeho učenie sa vyznačuje odborným, intenzívnym a individuálnym prístupom k žiakom. Hlavnou prednosťou jeho učenia je, že učí jogu s celou jej esenciou, nie iba jej fyzickú časť...

As a teenager Jaroslav started practising yoga in Bratislava and ever since yoga has been part of his life. With time he developed a deeper interest in yoga practice and discovered the system of authentic practice - Ashtanga Yoga. During his stays abroad Ashtanga Yoga was not the only focus of his studies, it also included Ashtanga teaching techniques,  philosophy and Ayurveda, which he pursued in India - in the very heart of these teachings. Moreover, he visited other international destinations such as Indonesia, Brazil, England Netherland, Denmark, USA,... where at the end of his studies (900+ hrs) he received international teaching certificates that qualify him as a teacher according to the International Yoga Alliance standards. Nowadays he is a top joga teacher in Slovakia.

 

As far as his main teacher is concerned studied Ashtanga Yoga for nine years with Sri K. Pattabhi Jois in Mysore - India, the greatest guru of Ashtanga Yoga of the 20th century in the world. However, Jaroslav studied Ashtanga Yoga with many other world's top teachers, amongst which is for example the well-known David Swenson, Nancy Gilgoff, Kino McGregor, Tim Feldmann, Caroline Klebl,... In addition, he practised Ashtanga Yoga under the guidance of renowned teachers like Manju Patthabi Jois. 

 

Ashtanga Yoga is an ancient style of yoga and  tradition, and this is exactly what Jaroslav teaches - its original, genuine and unaltered form. Currently, Jaroslav Pavek teaches the Primary and Intermediate Series. Apart from teaching and presenting yoga at various events, Jaroslav organises regular Ashtanga Yoga and Ayurveda retreats to foreign destinations, theoretical and practical workshops and teacher trainings within Slovaia and internationally.

 

Jaroslav is the member of the Yoga Alliance USA and Yoga Alliance UK. The membership authorises him to use the title E.-R.Y.T. (Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher) that guarantees the compliance with all international criteria and quality requirements regarding training, theory and practice of a yoga teacher. His teaching is characterized by a professional, intensive and individual approach to students. He also teaches yoga with its very essence, not just the physical exercise...

“I can’t thank and praise Jaro enough for all his help and support. I had the privilege of spending a month with Jaro in Kerala India on an Ashtanga Yoga Teachers Training Course. Jaro is dynamic, inspirational and a skilled teacher. His explanations, technique and hands on approach allow his students to understand and make his classes so enjoyable. Jaro’s personality and yogi nature shines making him both likeable and approachable. All levels of students are made to feel so welcome. He makes you want to deepen your own practice through his teaching, support and encouragement. His knowledge is shared provided an amazing insight into all aspects of yoga. It is inspiring to see such a young, enthusiastic yogi, full of passion and energy. I am looking forward to meeting Jaro again in the future to further my practice and hope we will be able to book him for workshops in this part of the world?!! A very talented person who I have no doubt has a long and successful life and career ahead of him”.
