Morning Mysore (Ashtanga Self Practise)
Joey endeavours to weave in clear alignment instructions, to allow students to experientially learn more about connections and patterns between postures. This can facilitate an understanding of the body-heart-mind a little bit better, finding a balance between stability and flexibility, dynamism and passivity. We hope these insights will help people to practice in a way which is functional and sustainable for the body, allowing for longevity in practice.

We ask that students have a pretty confident grasp of most of the first half of the Ashtanga Primary series, in order to be able to practice independently in the morning sessions. This is to enable Joey to try and give an equal level of time and input to each student.

Afternoon Classes
Saturday afternoon will be a dynamic alignment-based workshop. The focus will be learning and refining key actions in a key group of standing poses. You’ll gain a deeper understanding of the mechanics of individual poses and of categories of poses, allowing you to apply these guidelines in a much wider variety of poses than those you practice within this class. As you progress to more challenging poses, this learning will empower you to work more intelligently and effectively.

Sunday afternoon will be a restorative session. Leaning towards a mood of ease. All physical effort is relinquished, the body is encouraged to rest and passively release tension in a series of supported poses. Subtlety of awareness is possible when we leave aside intense sensations. The mood of the class is introspective and although many of the poses are deceptively gentle, they have the potential to create a profound shift in your inner state.
