The Led Primary Series is a guided class in which the teacher leads students through the full sequence of Ashtanga Yoga’s Primary Series, guiding everyone to move and breathe in sync. The pace is steady and traditional, emphasizing precision, rhythm, and focus. Everyone practices together, which builds energy and concentration.
- Saturday, 4th October, 9:00-11:00 Ashtanga Yoga Mysore style
Mysore Style Class and How to keep your practice following by Q&A – Traditional way to learn the Ashtanga Yoga method. Mysore Style is the most traditional form of Ashtanga Yoga practice. The designation is due to the fact that it was in the city of Mysore, India, that Sri K. Pattabhi Jois lived and where he continually transmitted the teachings he obtained from his Guru T. Krishnamacharya.
This type of class integrates all levels of practitioners in one class. From the beginner to the most advanced practitioner, everyone will be able to do their practice, and they will be followed up according to their needs. The teacher accompanies each student individually, indicating sequences of postures to perform (series). During this process, the teacher provides the student with detailed and personalized instruction, posture and posture. Proper breathing, bandhas activation, alignment, focal point (dristi), as well as all other elements necessary for practice (eg *: yamas and nyamas) are explained to the student.
- Saturday, 4th October, 13:00-15:00 Core and Inversions Workshop
Strengthen and stabilize the core of the body to turn upside down to try different headstand variations. Together we will learn, explore and deepen our knowledge and integration of bandhas or internal locks and core strength following by techniques to change your world upside down. You will have practical tools to turn upside down with stability, tranquillity and grace
- Sunday, 5th October, 9:00-11:00 Ashtanga Yoga Mysore style
- Sunday, 5th October, 12:30-14:30 Brave Heart Backbends Workshop
- During this workshop we will look at some postures and variations of the first and second series of Ashtanga, and how they can be used to purify our energy channels. We will look at what kinds of physical & psychological preparations do we need to do to prepare for Intermediate Series – Nadi Shodana. We will explore some back-bending enhancements: looking at the principles of opening the heart, being vulnerable, and the importance to cultivate great strength in the foundation of our lives (and legs).
