Thursday 16 February - Sunday 19 February 2023
For many of us our yoga practice is deeply important to us. It can make us feel like we’re flying, and yet there are so many things that come up through the process of practice itself. It’s these processes, those things that challenge us, that can be the most profound.
Wherever you are, whatever you bring, this Mysore Yoga immersion will shine a light on your practice, illuminating what’s coming up, and explore different ways of moving through it, whether you are working with an injury, feel a little stuck in your practice, or feel like you’re flying.
This immersion is for all practitioners of yoga to discover their own way of practicing this profound system of yoga. To see how the wider teachings of yoga and mindfulness can deeply influence your practice.
Scott will draw on his 18 years of experience teaching Mysore Ashtanga Yoga and Mindfulness to shine a light on your yoga practice and help you discover something fresh…
The immersion will include:
Mindfulness Meditation
Pranayama/breathing techniques
Ashtanga yoga - Self practice and guided classes
Chanting
Philosophy
Movement technique and theory
What you will gain from this 4 day immersion?
Over the intensive you will gain insight into your own patterns of practice and how to move in your own unique way. If working with pain or injuries there will be fresh light on how to alleviate and work with these issues. We will use the wider context of anatomy, mindfulness and philosophy to see how we can notice things in a fresh way. This will also help you to see the practice of yoga in a wider context to your life.

Mysore style Assisted Self Practice with Scott Johnson
Session 1 - 6-7.30am Thursday & Friday / 7.30-9am Saturday & Sunday
Session 2 - 7.30-9am Thursday & Friday / 9-10.30am Saturday & Sunday
Scott believes that developing a self practice takes participation, commitment, learning and growth. Such self practice fosters the individual responsibility of the practitioner learning the practice for themselves.
With individual support and guidance, and the deep teacher-student relationship developed in this self practice method, practice evolves slowly over time, breath by breath, as an individual becomes stronger in their own time.
