Ashtanga Mysore
Mysore class program – 10x Tuesdays
26th of March – 28th of May 2024
Requirement: completion of a led class program
All levels – Mysore style class
The Mysore style class is a self-paced practice for all levels of practitioners. You must however already be familiar with the practice, and be able to practice the standing sequence on your own to be able to join.
For whom?
– Yogis who are already familiar with the practice and can practice (at least parts of) the standing sequence independently.
– You who want to learn more than what we can do during the mixed group led classes.
– You who want to learn yoga the traditional way
– You who want to develop your own yoga practice
– You who want more quality yoga teaching tailored for your own body
Having a self-practice is essential
In these classes you will start learning more from the ashtanga yoga system than what we can do in the mixed led classes, and you will get a more personalised practice routine. You will start deepening your concentration and meditation during practice, and get more help from the teacher in these classes.
While there is immense value in attending led yoga classes, the true magic of yoga often unfolds when you cultivate a self-practice. Initially, you may rely on classes to guide you, but as you advance, the self-practice is where you can truly connect with your inner Self.
Developing a self-practice is essential for deeper exploration of the inner sanctuary of your body, mind and spirit, and learning when to let go, when to be soft, and when to be strong.
Meet your teacher
Alex is a Swedish-speaking Finn who started to practice yoga at home in 2013, and has been practicing and teaching hatha and vinyasa yoga since 2014 (Seasonal Yoga). During the summer of 2015 Alex fell in love with the depth of the ashtanga yoga practice in 2015 with his teachers Petri Räisänen & Juha Javanainen from Helsingin Astanga Joogakoulu in their summer camp in Houtskari.
Since then Alex has been teaching over 4000 hours of yoga classes with a wide range of people, while managing Yogashala Raseborg, and has actively been practicing with different world renowned teachers on different workshop, such as Eddie Stern, Kino McGregor, Simon Borg-Olivier, and online courses with David Garrigues.
“To me it’s important that the practices are taught in a safe, healthy and effective way for each student. As a yoga teacher it is important to understand that all people are different, and to embrace, or celebrate, the movement patterns of each individual.
In my teaching style you will learn to turn your senses inward (pratyāhāra), you will improve your focus and learn to practice to the rhythm of your own breath. The meditation and concentration makes the practice meaningful, and is a gateway to your inner dimensions. A yoga practice should be a practice in concentration and meditation. In ashtanga and hatha yoga we use our body to practice and achieve this.
We start simple, and the more you practice, the more you will learn at your own ideal pace while your body becomes stronger and softer, and your mind becomes more focused.”
