Workshop 1 | A Mindful Approach to Ashtanga Yoga
6-8pm Friday 2 February 2024

Meeting the Ashtanga yoga practice with mindful awareness. 

How do we individually approach yoga in relationship to our own lives? Can we see deeper into how our yoga practice can help us nurture the breath and movement awareness that we hold so dear?  

How we notice this all play out can allow us to land the awareness of ourselves, and our physical practice, in the present moment. Again and again, This short workshop will play with breathing and mindfulness techniques in relation to movement awareness and the patterns of ashtanga yoga we know so well. 

We will also look at how philosophy helps practice come alive on a yoga mat. 

Noticing the constant and ongoing interplay between asana reference points , mindfulness based awareness and philosophy is the ground from which we can become deeply embodied in practice. We will reflect on how this can be the base from which we move in the world. 

Whether you're a seasoned practitioner or new to the mat, this workshop warmly welcomes everyone.

Workshop 2 | Ashtanga Yoga as Embodied Movement
2-4pm Saturday 3 February 2024

Beginning the Intermediate Series

We continue the theme of Saturday’s mindful awareness by looking at asana and vinyasa, seeing how they all blend together to form an embodied movement awareness. 

We will look at the patterns and relationships that underpin the entry into the Intermediate Series. What movement patterns are being asked of us and where have we found them before? 

This workshop is for anyone (except complete beginners) who has an interest in the way Ashtanga yoga evolves as a path.

……….

Workshop 3 | A Yoga Clinic: Questions and Answers
2-4pm Sunday 4 February 2024

We will discover answers only lead to more questions….

In this afternoon workshop Scott will create a space for questions to be answered around yoga practice, be it asana, philosophy or any other aspect. The focus will be how we can shed light on those areas of practice that we find difficult or challenging. We can discuss how we bring more awareness to these areas, whatever they are for you. 

Bring any question that interest you. We won’t say there are any answers, just an ongoing process of inquiry into more questions.

No matter your experience level, this workshop warmly welcomes everyone.
