This three hour workshop is part practice and part theory. Over the duration of our training we will gradually build up the Ashtanga practice, while teaching essential supporting practices, such as the application of bandhas, breathing, diet and lifestyle. We will also explore the history of the Mysore tradition and the philosophical and theoretical background out of which the Ashtanga practice evolved.

SUTRA STUDY
SATURDAYS - 11 AM-1.30 PM GMT (UK time)
November 15-March 21
The most comprehensive teaching on yoga is contained in the Yoga Sutra of Patanjali. Although the text itself is cryptic and only 195 very short verses long, there is an extensive tradition of commentary that elaborates and explains the text. The Sutras contain teachings on both theory and practice, and is an indispensable guide to anyone who wants to get anywhere with yoga.
An in depth study of the sutras is invaluable for students and teachers alike. Such a study is a life-long project, but one can become familiar with the essential teachings relatively quickly with the right guidance. However, such guidance is not necessarily easy to find: there are many confused and confusing translations and interpretations of the text.
Our study will focus on Chapter I and II of the Yoga Sutra, looking at the translation and commentaries for each sutra in depth. Chapter I is the chapter on samadhi, or meditation. It also includes the basis for yoga psychology. Chapter II is the chapter on sadhana, or practice - it includes the explanation of the eight steps of ashtanga yoga, yogic lifestyle, diet and obstacles to practice.
Followed by Discussion, Pranayama and Meditation
