The Breakdown..
The mornings will consist of Mysore style practice under Katie and Jamie's tutelage. **Mysore style practice is the most effective and fulfilling method of learning the Ashtanga system and is appropriate for students of all levels-from ABSOLUTE BEGINNERS to more advanced practitioners. YOU DO NOT NEED TO HAVE MEMORIZED PRIMARY SERIES in order to practice Mysore style**
You will learn at your own level and pace. A practice that is truly yours will be cultivated. Master your breath and break through physical boundaries with a Mysore style practice!!
Asanas will then be workshopped and questions will be answered then a 1 hour break for lunch.
