Description
INTERMEDIATE SERIES PRACTITIONERS ONLY
DIY ASHTANGA MYSORE: DIY (Do It Yourself) Ashtanga Mysore is a non-guided self practice within a group setting. There is no teacher present to provide individualised verbal instructions and hands-on adjustments in this class setting. Enjoy a silent practice for yourself and please make sure to continue to follow the Mysore Etiquette.
A MSG FROM THE TEACHER: I have tried to make a regular Mysore style class happen on Wednesday but it just doesn’t work.
The Mysore program is non profit and I don’t earn anything from it; I have another job where I am obligated to be flexible and available one weekday and one weekend day (Wednesday and Saturday). This is important for me to be able to eat, pay bills etc and for all of us to have an authentic and honest place to practice.
From experience I encourage a 4 day practice week. Dedicated practitioners usually make time for their practice and find a way to include it in their daily routine. Understandably, that’s not always an option so I’ve put Wednesday on the schedule for INTERMEDIATE SERIES PRACTITIONERS ONLY, for instance if there is a moon day or other interferences to our routine / personal schedules. I planned my program in a way that I find sustainable for regular householders (people with a job, children, studies etc full time yoga teachers have enough time for a full practice every day). I recommend to work towards half intermediate on Monday, second half of intermediate on Tuesday * taking a break * on Wednesday and continuing with half primary on Thursday and the second half of primary on Friday. This is only possible once you have completed primary series, until then you will stick to the traditional method of learning one asana at a time (depends on the person of course). I believe this is a more realistic and sustainable approach in the long-term.
PLEASE NOTE: you can only book this class with the AV - Monthly Membership. Members get access to the shala when there is no teacher present and entrusted to open and close on their own.
