This is a week (Mon-Fri) of early morning Mysore sessions which takes place each month led by Matt Ryan.
The week includes both self-practice and ‘talk-through’ led classes and also features elements of the Ashtanga Yoga Pranayama (extension of breath) – Pranayama is the 4th limb of the Ashtanga Yoga system, it helps to increase the levels of ‘prana’ (life force, energy) in the body, and it is a key component in the development of the Ashtanga Yoga student’s practice.
There are limited spaces available on each course.

In a led class the teacher calls out the names of the postures in sequence and counts the correct vinyasa in traditional Sanskrit with all students moving together as a group. Learning the correct vinyasa gives the student a deeper understanding of the practice.
If you have any questions or need any information about the practice please feel free to ask in this session.

About Mysore
The term ‘Mysore-style’ refers to the way the Ashtanga Yoga method is taught by Sri K Pattabhis Jois in Mysore, India. The Ashtanga yoga system follows a therapeutic and progressive sequence of postures. Each student is encouraged to memorise the series and develop a personal practice.
In a Mysore-style class each student is taught individually and is given a one-to-one lesson within the group setting. The student is taught progressively according to his or her individual needs. Ashtanga yoga is an exact and detailed method that is learned over the course of several years.
About Matt
Matt has been ‘authorised’ level 2 to teach the Ashtanga Yoga method by Guruji Sri K Pattabhis Jois & Sharath Rangaswamy. The KPJAYI is the governing body of Ashtanga Yoga and is the only organisation that is eligible to authorise Yoga students to teach the Ashtanga Yoga method.
