Breath and Bandha with Lucien Sanchez Zuber
22-29 August, 2020
Description of the retreat
My personal practice is based in the Ashtanga Yoga method. I have been dedicated to a daily, six-day-a-week practice for over 20 years. Ashtanga yoga traces its lineage to an ancient sage named Vamana Rishi and it is through a long line of students who became teachers themselves that we now have access to the heritage of yoga. Ashtanga literally means eight limbs and is defined by the sacred yogic text, Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras as Yama (moral codes), Niyama (self-purification and study), Asana (posture), Pranayama (breath control), Pratyahara (sense control), Dharana (concentration), Dhyana (meditation) and Samadhi (total peace). Ideally teachers are well-versed in all eight limbs before they begin teaching so that they may truly guide the student through the entire journey of yoga.

Lucien grew up in a family of artists and musicians around the world, he was deeply immersed in classical music and had the opportunity to learn a few languages early on. In his teens, an uncle who had travelled in India introduced him to yoga and vipassana and among these newfound practices his interest in the metaphysical led him to research of shamanism and native practices of his father’s motherland, Mexico.
When he discovered ashtanga yoga he was hooked and it became his daily sadhana. Study of yoga and meditation led him to South East Asia where he spent most of his time in India, Thailand, Sri Lanka and Bali. There, over the next few years he studied Thai massage with Pichest Boonthume, and asthanga yoga with various different teachers spending a particularly long time practicing and learning from Iain Gryzak in Bali, Eileen Hall in Sydney and Sharath Jois in Mysore both of the later whom he had the opportunity to study with and assist over the past years.
It is with great joy and pleasure that Lucien now looks to transmit any knowledge this life path has given him in the most honest and authentic way possible giving students the space to find the wisdom in themselves to improve their lives as it has slowly done for him through dedication, experience and practice. With this intention Lucien has spent the last years traveling and teaching in different places across the world such as Mexico, USA, Sri Lanka, Thailand, France, Switzerland, Germany, and Australia amongst others finally coming to settle in Paris for further university studies at Ecole 42 in 2019.
