A 4 days Ashtanga Yoga Self Practice and Workshop Immersion 

For many of us our yoga practice is deeply important to us. It can make us feel like we’re flying, and yet there are so many things that come up through the process of practice itself. It’s these processes, those things that challenge us, that can be the most profound.
Wherever you are, whatever you bring, this Mysore Yoga immersion will shine a light on your practice, illuminating what’s coming up, and explore different ways of moving through it, whether you are working with an injury, feel a little stuck in your practice, or feel like you’re flying.
This immersion is for all practitioners of yoga to discover their own way of practicing this profound system of yoga.

Scott will draw on his 18 years of experience teaching Mysore Ashtanga Yoga and Mindfulness to shine a light on your yoga practice and help you discover something fresh…

The immersion will include:

- Mindfulness Meditation
- Pranayama/breathing techniques
- Ashtanga yoga - Self practice and guided classes
- Chanting
- Philosophy
- Movement technique and theory

What you will gain from the immersion:

Over the intensive you will gain insight into your own patterns of practice and how to move in your own unique way. If working with pain or injuries there will be fresh light on how to alleviate and work with these issues. We will use the wider context of anatomy, mindfulness and philosophy to see how we can notice things in a fresh way. This will also help you to see the practice of yoga in a wider context to your life.

The immersion includes:

4 x 3hr morning classes (Friday to Monday) - 7/10am
2 x 2hr workshops (Saturday and Sunday) - 12am/2pm

Saturday Workshop 12am/2pm

Feeling In To The Hips

The practice of yoga asks us to feel deeply in to the body and listen. We are constantly learning to notice new ways to be in touch with what’s going on within us.
The Ashtanga Yoga practice places emphasis on particular ways of noticing the body, the articulation of the hip joint being prominent.
In this workshop we will look at the patterns of the hip not only as a general movement principal but also as a unique and personal process of holding patterns that we can let go of.
We will look at how the hip opening patterns of the primary and intermediate series ask us to listen deeper to what’s going on in the whole body, not just the hips…

Sunday Workshop 12am/2pm

Front Body Opening

There is so much we bring to the practice of backbending. It has such a deep place in the scope of asana practice and can challenge us in many, many ways. Is it possible that we can bring a new lens to how we see the patterns that hold us?
This workshop will shed light on what can get in the way when we move into any backbending asana. We will connect deeply into our own backbend journey and then discover the unique patterns that hold us, playing with new patterns that can help us find more freedom of movement and space in any backbending position we try.
