Class Schedule
For schedule of class times please see the table opposite:
Beginners Introductory Courses
These courses are the ideal way to start your Ashtanga Yoga practice. The weekend will provide you with a thorough introduction to Yoga, including its origins and aims, as well as covering the basic principles of the Ashtanga practice in detail, providing you with a clear foundation for developing a strong and safe personal practice.
Students must have their own Yoga mat and also bring a towel. As class size will be limited students should register as soon as possible for Beginners Introductory Courses.

Flexible Start Times for Mysore Classes
Because each student is taught on a one-to-one basis in Mysore style classes, it gives the student great flexibility in the time at which they choose to come to class. How does this work? Effectively it means there is a period of one hour in which the student can arrive at any given Mysore class, and each class provides a window of two and a quarter hours within which to practice. The start time in the Class Schedule table is essentially the time at which the Opening Mantra is chanted. Students need not necessarily be there at this time. The table below gives the effective practice windows, latest times for starting and finishing for each of the Mysore classes in the Schedule. If you have any questions about this system, call David on 087 237 6383.

Weekly Schedule
The weekly class schedule is designed as a complete practice programme, giving students the opportunity to develop a tailored personal practice at their own pace in Mysore-style classes, and to utilise the Guided Classes to learn about the rhythm and pace of practice and to develop their capacity to let go of mental distractions.The week is completed by a Full Primary Series lead class on Friday at 6am, or a Guided class to Navasana on Saturday, both of which help built strength and understanding of the correct movment/breathing (vinyasa) system of Ashtanga Yoga.
Mysore Self-Practice Class
What is Mysore style? At Mysore Classes beginners and experienced practitioners practise together, each at her/his own level and receive one-to-one guidance and adjustment.
This is the traditional way in which Ashtanga Yoga is taught. Students learn the correct sequence of postures of primary Series, each according to their own specific needs and capacity.This gives everyone a Yoga practice appropriate to them and helps them to develop good practice habits and to benefit to the maximum from their Yoga.

Guided Classes
These are classes in which the teacher leads the students through the practice as a group, counting the correct vinyasa system of Ashtanga yoga. This class is designed to give students a feeling for the rhythm and pace of practice they should aspire to in their Mysore style practice and to help them to follow the correct vinyasa system of Ashtanga yoga. It also helps build strength of body and focus of mind. These classes should be attended in addition to Mysore style classes not instead of them!!
