The practice
You will be practicing yoga twice a day, in the morning and afternoon. The morning practice will mostly be a Mysore class. The retreat will open and close with a led class.
In the led class, you will work through the Primary series, following the traditional Sanskrit counting. They will close every led class with pranayama and a short seated meditation.
In Mysore class, students practice individually, each at their own pace and working together with the teacher on their particular needs, taking more time to approach certain poses and thus going deeper into the practice.
The afternoon classes will be workshops that will allow you to go deeper into the foundations of Ashtanga yoga and build a sustainable practice. In between practices, there will be chanting and philosophy lectures followed by group discussions.
