Traditionally, there is no Mysore Yoga practice on Moondays. On Full Moon days, Maxi is teaching a version of the much loved Chandra Krama (Moon Sequence).

Chandra Krama, or the Moon Sequence, is an alternative therapeutic Vinyasa Krama sequence accessible to students of all traditions, whether young or old. It invites the release of unnecessary tension while fostering a deeper connection of body, soul and mind. The practice encourages the practitioner to accept and honour what is instead of wanting to be or go somewhere, fostering a deep sense of peace.

Chandra Krama emphasizes the hips, groin, lower spine and abdominals, which will feel positively awake after moving through this sequence. The practice takes pressure off the neck, shoulders and wrists and is beneficial as a regular alternative practice to the heat building of traditional Ashtanga.

Practicing Chandra Krama helps you to let go, of holding on to a plan, of attaching to what does not serve you and instead moves you towards taking joy in what is, on and off the mat. This awareness will also tickle into your Ashtanga Mysore practice and this practice is a beautiful alternative sequence for Mysore practitioners.

Chandra Krama begins as a gentle vinyasa flow, moving slowly deeper while bringing continuous awareness to the breath and inner sensations, relaxing and soothing the nervous system. This practice finishes with a series of nurturing restorative poses. You will leave the practice of Chandra Krama feeling deeply nourished in your physical, mental and energetic body.

Chandra Krama was developed by Matthew Sweeney. Maxi is one of the two teachers in the Netherlands authorized by Matthew to teach this practice.

All props you need are at the yoga school.

Once every month (always on a different weekday) we offer a Full Led Primary with the Sanskrit Vinyasa Count and a yoga talk afterwards.

Doors open depending on which week day the monthly Led class falls on:
•Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 6.45h. We start at 7.00 sharp together, so be there a bit earlier. The led primary goes until 8.30h, and there is a yoga talk (for all who can stay until 9.00h)
•Tuesday and Thursday at 8.45h. We start at 9.00h sharp, so be there a little earlier. The led primary goes until 10.30h, and there is a yoga talk (for all who can stay until 11.00h)

All practitioners of Ashtanga Mysore are welcome to join, regardless of how far you are in your practice.

In this led class you practice until where you usually practice in your Mysore practice and then perhaps try a few of the next poses and/or observe before we get to backbends together.

So much (!!) is learned by observing, really! And as always: It's not the goal to get anywhere and no-one is a better or worse yogi because they are / not doing full series - whether you practice full primary already just really doesn't matter. Just join with an open attitude.

The class is a great benefit to understand the energy of and harvest focus in the transitions between the state of an asana - this is often where we loose focus. How we get in and out of a situation is very important for the situation and what develops from there.

Moreover, Maxi will give technical and verbal cues while all are moving together building up a strong, focused energy.

After class Maxi will give a small talk about anything inspiring and relevant to our practice.

Altogether a very beneficial and complementary class for the Mysore practice.

PRACTICAL:
•This class is NOT suitable for complete newcomers to Ashtanga Yoga. In the traditional led class the poses themselves are NOT explained (for this we have the daily Mysore practice). In the traditional led class Maxi will provide the rhythm of the vinyasa count and provide a few cues. If you are a complete beginner join come to our Mysore class.
•We start at 7.00h sharp on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays AND on 9.00h on Tuesdays and Thursdays
•Make sure you can stay until 8.30h for Monday, Wednesday or Friday and 10.30h for Tuesday and Thursdays when Led class practice ends.

It's ok if you have to leave at 8.30h / 10.30h in case you cannot join the short talk.
