 4 day Ashtanga Yoga, Mysore Style and Pranayama Intensive with Kia Naddermier

Glasgow 25-28 May 2017 

WORKSHOP PROGRAMME:

Surya Namaskar & Foundations of Primary Series Master Class – Practice, principles, philosophy & adjustments

Thursday 25 May

17:45 – 20:00

(Please arrive in plenty of time so that we can start promptly, the space is open and will be set up from 17:15)

Guruji used to say that the entire practice is comprised in the Suryanamaskar and that Yoga Chikitsa or the Primary Series is the foundation for all other series of Ashtanga Yoga. This truth will be the starting point for our exploration of the practice as a whole. We will journey through key elements of the Surya Namaskar and the Primary Series with an explorative mindset, looking at common energetic principles, actions, alignment details & adjustments.

In the following Mysore Sessions we will draw from the learning in this class to help cultivate a transformational yet sustainable practice in accordance with yogic principles. This class will set a common intention for the workshop.

Ashtanga Yoga – Traditionally Counted Primary Series 

Sunday 28 May 

09:45 – 11.45

We will close the circle of this intensive by coming together as One in body, breath and mind through the beauty and flow of a traditionally Sanskrit counted Primary Series. Guruji always said Ashtanga Yoga is for the mind. When we focus on counting the mala of the postures, the practice becomes the object of meditation for the student and the teacher – creating one single intention.

Pranayama & Kriyas – practice, techniques and philosophy. 

Saturday 27 May

15.00 – 16.30

Sunday 28 May

08:15 – 09.30

The division between the body and mind is first healed with the breath. Hence Pranayama is considered the central aspect of any authentic Hatha yoga practice. In these sessions we will deepen our appreciation of the subtleties of breath and its significance in yogic practices and philosophy. New students will be introduced to traditional teachings of pranayama & kriyas, whilst those with more experience will refine and deepen their practice and understanding.
