class description:
Mysore - style: Ashtanga yoga as practiced in Mysore, India. These classes have a flexible start time, students practice independently, learning the Ashtanga sequence of poses at a pace suitable for them under the guidance of the teacher who gives hands on adjustments and verbal instruction when necessary. Beginners are encouraged to commit to a minimum of 2 or 3 classes per week.

Led Class: The teacher leads the class by calling out the traditional sanskrit vinyasa (movement synchronised with the breath) count for each posture of the Primary Series. The class moves and breaths in unison, it is a powerful and focused class. Led class is very beneficial to focus the mind, connect with the breath, feel the rhythm of the practice and correctly learn the vinyasa count which then helps refine daily self practice. This class is not recommended for complete beginners, but all current Mysore students are encouraged to make the led class part of their weekly routine.

Part theory, part practice, the introductory class is a perfect foundation for the new student, or for anyone wanting to refresh their practice with inspiration and deeper understanding.

In the 2 hour intro class, we will look at the tradition of the Ashtanga yoga, its origins and place in contemporary life. Breath, bandhas, drishti and vinyasa are all terms often heard but rarely understood. They are what makes the Ashtanga practice yoga. They are the givers of health, vibrancy, ease and contentment. We will discuss and relate them directly to how they can bring depth and focus to the practice.

The beauty and benefit of Ashtanga yoga practice becomes evident when a student commits to an ongoing practice and connects with a deeper understanding of themselves. As Pattabhi Jois often says '1% theory, 99% practice', so we begin with the 1% theory, so that commitment to ongoing practice comes easier through knowing.

By the end of this course the student will be able to participate in a Mysore – style class.
