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. Afternoons will consist of an exploration of the eight limbs as well as interactive discussions covering asana, pranayama, yoga therapy and injury prevention, meditation, yoga philosophy, chakras, yogic diet and cleansing practices. On the final day, following the afternoon session, we will celebrate the completion of the course with a raw-food feast, (and we do mean feast!!) catered by Livelive.
