Mysore Style Self-Practice & Pranayama
The Mysore class will be from 8-10 am then 10-10.30 I will be teaching the Ashtanga Yoga pranayama sequence.
Mysore Style is the traditional format of practicing and teaching Ashtanga Yoga, where the student moves through the sequence in their own time - guided and assisted by the teacher. It's a much more immersive (and fulfilling , in my opinion) way of learning Ashtanga Yoga. Everyone is taught individually , like having a private lesson within a group setting. Each session begins at 6 am (7am on Wednesdays) so you can start at any time between 6 and 7 am , with your practice finishing by 8am (9 am finish on Weds, 10 am Sundays)
NB - You *do not* need to know the sequence - the role of the teacher ( ie me!) is to guide you through the sequence.

An hour long class ideal for levels. This session will feature a sequence of sun salutations, standing and seated postures and will also focus on breathing techniques to help bring mental clarity and steadiness - a great way to start your day.

Immerse yourself in the deeply restorative sound of gongs, Himalayan bowls, and therapeutic percussion in a session designed to regulate the nervous system and promote emotional balance.

Sound is more than something we hear—it is a physical vibration that moves through the body, influencing brainwave activity, heart rate, and the breath. These vibrations activate the parasympathetic nervous system, which helps to lower stress levels, reduce muscular tension, and promote an overall sense of well-being.

During the session, the complex overtones of the gong engage the brain’s natural rhythms, shifting it from an alert beta state into the alpha and theta states. These lower-frequency states are associated with deep relaxation, emotional processing, and self-repair, creating the conditions for mental and physical restoration.

Guided by Lorna, a qualified sound therapist and psychotherapist with over 10 years’ experience, this session provides a safe and containing space for emotional processing, deep rest and integration. The session begins with gentle breathwork to settle the system, followed by a structured sound immersion, concluding with time for reflection and integration.
