Students practise a set sequence of postures at their own pace, following their own breath, and adding more postures in the first series as the body opens whilst the teacher offers one-on-one insight and assistance to each student in a group setting. Practising in this way is called Mysore-style and is the traditional way to learn Ashtanga vinyasa yoga. The shala is also open to any style of yoga. Suitable for beginners and advanced practioners. This unique method of yoga practice allows for students of varying physical abilities to share space, creating a diverse community. The instructor can also lead some Surya warm-up sequence to begin with and some sequencing later on in the practice to get used to the Sanskrit counting. It is designed for students who want to build a regular personal practice and seeks hands-on adjustment or guidance from a qualified yoga instructor.

Suitable as well to any levels and other styles of yoga practitioners who are attempting any advance poses who would like some physical support or assistance from the yoga teacher present during the time of the Ashtanga self-practice from others.

Mats and other yoga props are available to use plus variety of yoga books for resources and self-study whilst you are on your mat during your session.

The shala can be opened for self-practice from 7:30AM (prior noticed) on Tuesdays & Thursdays with assistance & adjustments.

The shala can also be opened for practice on Sunday with advance arrangement. Please contact by emailing practice@syzygyyoga.co.uk for access to the shala.

“Feed the fire in your belly with this class that’s aimed at completing a full primary vinyasa counted led practice, which will begin with the warming up sequence of the Sun salutations A & B with optional chanting on the opening and closing mantra. Followed by the rest of the Ashtanga postures in the first series in an accessible and safe way. We will be flowing faster but on some days we will be exploring and applying some techniques in transitioning certain postures to refine and create a strong practice that you can apply on your self-practice without the presence of a teacher, it could be from chaturanga to Shirshasana (headstand). We will be flowing and moving with the breath so that the full practice will eventually turn into a moving or active meditation. Familiarity to the Ashtanga yoga system is recommended or at least have attempted reaching all the way to Setu Bandhasana or Setu Bandha Sarvangasana (half-bridge pose). Advanced practitioners of other styles of yoga are also very welcome as this is a vinyasa counted led class.

A combination of flowing with yoga postures, functional surf fitness and it’s core movements helping to improve the control and balance during in-water session, applying a dynamic vinyasa flow to increase flexibility and other range of motion improving mobility.

Yoga strengthens key physical points to the surfing practice, such as arms, legs, back, and wrists, minimizing the risk of injuries and improving recovery time after a surf session.

Yoga also helps build strength and endurance, allowing you to stay out in the water longer. The increased stamina and strength enables you to paddle longer and catch waves more efficiently.

In this yoga class we invite ourselves to stay in the flow of our own inner tides and let yourself be carried by the waves of your very own ocean.
