MYSORE CLASSES WITH SCOTT & CHRIS

Meet Scott in our Team-Teach Mysore classes with Chris:

  • Friday 6-8 am
  • Friday 6-8 pm

WORKSHOP

Saturday

  • 8:00 – 10:00 Mysore Team-Teach
  • 11:00 – 12:30 Ashtanga Yoga as embodied movement Part I
  • 13:30 – 15:00 Ashtanga Yoga as embodied movement Part II

Practicing Ashtanga with a new lens… we will engage with how we approach the Ashtanga yoga practice itself, how we meet the complexities of breath and movement and how becoming more present plays out in deepening the awareness of ourselves through a physical practice.

We will play with breathing technique, chanting, mindfulness and movement awareness noticing the constant and ongoing interplay between these reference points.

Sunday

  • 8:00 – 10:00 Mysore Team-Teach
  • 11:00 – 12:30 The pattern of Ashtanga Yoga Part I
  • 13:30 – 15:00 The pattern of Ashtanga Yoga Part II

Seeing the patterns laid out before us… we continue the theme of Saturday’s mindful awareness by looking at asana and vinyasa, seeing how they all blend together to form an embodied movement awareness. We will look at the patterns and relationships that underpin the forms of the asanas in the practice and see how taking care allows you to deepen the awareness of movement though the postures and series. This will lead to acquiring a greater feeling of connection to the asana and movement of the body, while practicing Ashtanga Yoga.
