Educate with confidence
“Well anchored in the Iberian Peninsula, yet widely open to the winds of the Atlantic Ocean, Portugal has always, since its foundation in the 12th century, turned its gaze towards wider horizons. Prince Henry the Navigator is famous for having encouraged his daring people to explore the seas of the globe. There are such Portuguese in almost all parts of the world. Thus inspired, during the Renaissance era, the great adventurer Vasco da Gama was the first, through unchartered waters, to discover the Routes to India. You too, on the occasion of this International Seminar, are invited to enlarge your own limits. Let’s share our desire to learn together the great laws and techniques of yoga and transmit them to the new generation.
The EURYE organizers expect numerous participants to live for a week in OFIR a lovely seaside resort about 20 miles North of Porto. The RYE Portugal is awaiting you with a very warm welcome.”

About RYE and EURYE
RYE was born in France in1978 and was founded by Micheline Flak. She was an English teacher in a Parisian middle school and was also a Yoga practitioner and teacher. Her experience of Yoga began to influence her English lessons and through various experiments of incorporating yoga instruction in the classroom she became deeply interested in the way yoga enhanced the whole learning process. Micheline’s experience of yoga comes from the Satyananda tradition – a holistic approach, integrating all aspects of being; here she learned the systematic relaxation of Yoga Nidra™, developed from an ancient practice by Swami Satyananda to make it accessible and useful for modern man.
Therefore RYE has its roots in ancient yogic tradition, and its basis is centred on 6 principles that are relevant and effective tools for the modern classroom. RYE uses simple yoga techniques – postures, breathing, relaxation and concentration in small amounts throughout the lesson to improve learning, by unifying the body with the mind, creating amity within the class, amongst both peers and teacher.
More and more research is constantly being explored on the complexity of how individuals learn and schools are often implementing new methods. This in itself can often be draining for teachers who already have a multitude of tasks to perform. The key to RYE is that the teacher experiences yoga and RYE techniques for themselves to help harmonise both body and mind, enabling them to use the techniques more effectively.
EURYE was formed in 2000, and extended to non-European countries. It includes Officially France, Italy, Belgium, United Kingdom, Portugal and Greece. Spain and Norway are also among the countries where the RYE techniques are taught. Since 2007, RYE Uruguay was created originated by International conventions for the countries of Latin America, ensuring the relay of RYE techniques to Brazil, Argentina and Chile. Micheline Flak is regularly invited to transmit her teaching in Israel. In 2007, she went to Bangalore, Madras and Calculata, to conduct RYE courses.
