Assisted Self-Paced Practice (arrival time untill 8:15am) In a Mysore Style class students do their own practice while being offered individual guidance to further deepen their experience and understanding. You work closely with your teacher to develop your practice and allow your personal process to unfold. How far you go in the sequence is particular to your body, and the pace is determined by your breathing pattern. You are required to memorise the sequence and, over time, postures are added according to your constitution, readiness and ability. So in a Mysore room we have all levels of practitioner practising together – a yoga teacher next to someone who is just beginning, or someone recovering from an injury and another who may be pregnant… This creates a deeply compassionate space where all bodies and abilities can be held, nourished and developed individually together. It is a personal practice done in a group setting. It is only by self-practice that we dive deeper into the system of Ashtanga Yoga. By learning to listen to, and move in synchronicity with our own breath, we refine our proprioceptive and interoceptive awareness. This brings about a fully embodied sense of being which is essential for healing and wholeness. It is a way of practising that creates independence for the student, and allows space to listen internally rather than following the voice of a teacher, or the pace of a group-class. Having our own practice is an invaluable gift that allows us to plant ourselves directly into the ground of our lived experience every morning as we step onto our yoga mat.

Our Ashtanga Yoga Class offers a rigorous and structured practice derived from the teachings of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois (1915-2009). This style of yoga follows a specific sequence of postures, synchronizing breath with movement to generate intense internal heat, or "tapas," producing a purifying sweat that detoxifies muscles and organs. This practice improves circulation, strength, flexibility, endurance, and balance. Suitable for all levels, the class begins with guided instruction, gradually progressing to allow for self-paced practice. Known for its disciplined and energetic style, Ashtanga yoga promotes a light and strong body and a calm mind.

Buddhist Meditation is an excellent practice to train yourself in emotional stability. Explore your mind with a gentle and relaxed attitude in order to broaden your inner space. Create room for cultivating compassion and loving-kindness.The practice will start with basic meditation techniques and will gradually take up some specific features of Shingon-buddhist practice such as basic visualization techniques. Our teacher is Shaku Jinsen who studied and practiced buddhism in Japan for a period of ten years. He is a fully ordained Buddhist priest from the Shingon-school of Japanese Buddhism. He currently leads Yo e an, Centre for Shingon Buddhism, providing opportunities to practice meditation and learning more about Buddhism and the Shingon-tradition. This is a donation based meditation. We follow the buddhist principle of free donations.
