Moving into Mysore: Ashtanga Yoga Course (6wk)

The Perfect Introduction to Mysore Style Ashtanga Yoga

‘Moving into Mysore‘ is our 6-week Intro to Ashtanga Yoga Course. This special course is specifically designed to introduce the foundation poses of Primary Series pose-by-pose and provide the necessary support whilst you build a sustainable self-practice, both at home and at the studio.

Perfect for complete beginners, rusty practitioners or current students wanting to transition into Mysore-style Ashtanga Yoga classes, this short course includes 6 weekly classes – part guided, part self-practice – that will build your Ashtanga Yoga practice, pose-by pose.

Each course is limited to only 6 students, so you will receive plenty of individual tuition and personal guidance, allowing you to grow your yoga practice at a pace that is right for you.

‘Moving into Mysore’ (6-weeks)

For 6-weeks you will attend a scheduled weekly introductory class. These small group classes take place within the scheduled Mysore Ashtanga Yoga class at the studio. Each week you will be given detailed instruction in the foundation postures of The Primary Series of Ashtanga Yoga. Each class is part guided instruction and part self-practice (of what you have been taught). Poses are introduced one-by-one, slowly building up a sustainable practice week-by-week. In addition to weekly classes you will be asked to invest time doing ‘homework’ by practicing what you have learned between each weekly class. This method of teaching and learning is proven to lead to long-term success.

Kickstarter Package (4-weeks)

After completing the initial 6-week introduction you will be equipped to attend a full Mysore-Style Ashtanga Yoga class, but to give yourself the best chance of maintaining your new habit you have to practice regularly. That’s why we offer the option of a 4-week KICKSTARTER Package. This option includes 4-weeks of Unlimited ANYTIME Mysore classes which follow immediately on (starting the day after) the initial 6-week course.

We encourage you to attend as often as you can for these 4 weeks (min. once per week) to keep your momentum going. Each time you attend a Mysore class during this period you will continue to practice what you have learned and be taught new Primary Series poses.

Over the ‘Moving into Mysore‘ beginners Ashtanga Yoga course you will:

• Learn the foundation poses of the Ashtanga Yoga primary series in the traditional way (i.e. one-on-one and pose-by-pose)
• Develop a yoga practice that is appropriate for, and takes into consideration, your individual needs (i.e. your age, health, fitness, level of concentration, physical ability etc.)
• Be introduced to a Mysore-Style class setting (which can be feel intimidating to new students and those who are used to ‘guided’ or ‘led’ yoga classes
  
• Begin a personal relationship to your yoga practice that will bring inner confidence and self-empowerment to your yoga journey.
• Receive weekly email ‘homework’ support and additional reading material
• Establish a self-practice of between 60-90 minutes long.

Limited to 6 students per course.
