Eskil has been teaching the dayli Mysore program in Astanga Yoga Studio since 2009. He is dedicated to teaching the astanga yoga tradition from SYC Sharath Yoga Center in Mysore (formerly K. Pattabhi Jois Ashtanga Yoga Institute - KPJAYI), which he has practiced with great passion and intensity, continuously since 1999.

He started his spiritual journey in 1990 with a daily practice of TM meditation. Within a few years he expanded his spiritual quest with intense practice of pranayama, japa and hatha yoga and immersion in Indian mysticism and yoga philosophy under the gudiance of great spiritual teachers. He was on his first spiritual journey to India in 1995. Since then there has been a lot of practice, study, and many more adventures, meetings with great saints and teachers, immersions, revelations and awakenings along his paths of discovery and understanding.

He taught Astanga first time in 2006 and has since 2011 annually traveled to Mysore, India, on month-long stays, to deepen his yoga practice under the guidance of Paramguru Sharath Jois. In 2016 he was authorized level 2 teacher from the Institute in Mysore.

Together with his good friend and astanga enthusiast Robin Arnold, he opened the Astanga Yoga Studio in 2009 in Copenhagen, where he do his best to inspire, guides and assists other practitioners in their astanga Yoga journey.

"I love sharing the practice. I love the independence, clarity and structure, and that anyone can do it, but you have to put in the effort. Astanga is an amazing practice that yields tremendous results, but it does require, discipline, dedication, humility, devotion and consistency to really dive into the magic".

Things I also did
For many years I run a diet and nutrition guidance clinic and taught and held courses and lectures on diet and nutrition throughout Denmark. I was also writhing columns and articles about health and nutrition for "Månedesmagasinet IN", and later "Femina", for more than a decade. My writing career which was based on my bachelor degree in nutrition and health, actually stared with "Workout and Fitness Magasinet" in 1992, but then in 1995, do to fortunate circumstances, I was given the opportunity to write for IN, and later Famina. It has been hundreds of articles, small stories, fact sheets and booklets until I stopped in 2010, occupying my time with the newly opened Astanga Yoga Studio. I do hope I can find time to connect to writing again, I really enjoy it, and I have so much more amazing thing to share. Below in the pictures is a fun memory, from shooting the 2019 yearly Christmas IN editorial staff picture, see if you can spot it. I also practiced martial arts in the form of Wing Tsun for more than 20 years and was very fun of rollerskating around the city streets and on ramp in my twenties. There are some pics reflecting that as well.
