Intro to Mysore
• 60 Minutes • 4 Week Course • 1 Morning Per Week (Thurs)
Ashtanga yoga is a dynamic practice which moves through a set sequence of postures, synchronising breath and movement, known as Vinyasa. The Introduction to Mysore course is intended for students interested in learning the traditional method of Ashtanga yoga. The course is designed for the absolute beginner, yogis transitioning from other styles and led classes, and more experienced practitioners looking to rebuild their practice after time away or recovery from an injury. Instruction will be given during the already on-going mysore program.
