BEGINNERS COURSES
Beginners Courses are designed to facilitate your progress into the Mysore Style of practice.
Why Mysore style? In Mysore style, or self-practice, students become their own best teacher and the practice becomes a moving meditation. Experienced teachers remain present at each class offering individual guidance and adjustments. In this way the practice becomes tailored to the students individual needs, not the needs of the entire class.
The full course (Levels 1, 2 & 3) is designed as an introduction to the Primary Series, improving strength, flexibility and balance. As a beginner, you will be guided through a sequence, developing your stamina, building your knowledge of the sequence and your confidence so that you may progress to your own practice (Mysore Style).
LEVEL 1: Designed for students with little or no yoga experience. During these classes you will be led through a sequence of Primary Series poses designed to improve your strength, flexibility and balance. These classes run for 75 minutes.
LEVEL 2: Is designed for people who have completed the Level 1 course or who have previous yoga experience. During these classes you will be introduced to some of the more challenging postures of the Primary Series. These classes run for 75 minutes.
LEVEL 3: Is designed for people who have completed the Level 2 course or who have previous Ashtanga yoga experience. During these classes you will be introduced to some of the more challenging postures, vinyasa and breath control within the sequence. These classes run for 75 minutes.
Note: The rest of the sequence is slowly added to your practice in the Mysore style room. As your practice grows, the teacher recommends new postures for the individual student. Thus creating a situation where each student is practicing the sequence to their own experience.
BEGINNERS MYSORE STYLE: After completing the Beginners Course you may wish to attend the Beginners Mysore Style Classes. This class is a fun way to fall about and get lost within the sequence, ask questions and simply let go of all that thinking you have been doing in the Beginners Course.
When we can let go of expectation and simply enjoy the practice we will see that anything is possible.
