We have designed a one-month program to introduce you to one of the two systems we teach | Ashtanga Yoga & Black Lotus Yoga | The mini-courses begins with a Saturday regular yoga class where the teacher will introduce you to an accessible version of the Ashtanga or Black Lotus system. This is followed by 4 weeks of twice-weekly Mysore Room classes with a dedicated teacher to show you the sequences and a weekly Saturday yoga class. The courses are a total of 13 classes, 5 Saturday classes and 8 Mysore classes.
Mysore refers to the way we traditionally teach Yoga. A Mysore class is unlike other yoga classes. Students and one or two teachers are in the room together, but students receive individual attention from teachers as they practice a sequence of poses at their own pace and with appropriate assists and modifications. Gradually, each student builds a practice that is memorized and deeply understood. It is likely to be different than anything you have experienced in other yoga traditions, and we hope that you will love it! The new student program includes a dedicated teacher that will work with you and up to 4 other new students to teach you the sequence. You will receive personal, one-on-one instruction from one of our teachers as you learn each new pose. You will be encouraged to start to memorize the series and we will teach you how to use props and modifications to safely and comfortably experience each pose. You will receive a handout that you may use during class and an information sheet to take home. By the end of the month, you can “fly solo” in the Mysore Room or you can repeat the new student program until you feel comfortable and confident continuing in Mysore more independently.
Your registration will enroll you in the whole series, and you will receive email reminders. There are opportunities to make up missed classes. Cost for the month of personalized instruction is $108. You may repeat the new student course as many times as you wish.
