When you have been practicing in led classes for a while, and you are able to practice the sun salutations on your own, you are regarded as an advanced beginner.
This course is your entry to the next stage, the traditional Mysore style practice.
The Primary Series
On Friday evening we will look the the principles of vinyasa for the primary series and the practice philosophy. You will learn to practice the standing sequence on your own in a half-led Mysore style setting, and your homework will be to memorize the full standing sequence.
Mysore style class
On Saturday we start with questions and answers, and have a look at more details from the seated sequence, and the finishing sequence. After this, we do our first Mysore Style practice with all the knowledge from the whole weekend.
Small group
This course will be limited to a small number of participants to make sure you are able to get the one on one attention you deserve.
What can I expect to learn from this weekend?
We will demystify the Mysore style experience, and you will gain enough confidence in your practice to join the weekly Mysore style classes. This is the traditional way to practice ashtanga yoga, and develop your self practice routine.
When practicing in the Mysore style classes you are more likely to internalize the practice and gain more understanding of you own body, and finding your internal flow of breath and energy.
Meet your teacher
Alexander Lemberg – E-RYT & YACEP certified since 2015
Alex is a Swedish-speaking Finn who found yoga by accident due to various health issues, and then became a certified Hatha yoga teacher in 2014.
During the summer of 2015 Alex went to an Ashtanga Yoga summer camp in Houtskari with Petri Räisänen and Juha Javanainen from Helsingin Astangajoogakoulu, and fell in love with the depths of the ashtanga yoga practice.
Since then Alex has been teaching over 5000 hours of yoga classes with a wide range of people, while managing Yogashala Raseborg in Tammisaari, and has actively been practicing with different world renowned teachers on different workshop, such as Eddie Stern, Kino McGregor, Simon Borg-Olivier, and also online courses with David Garrigues.
“To me it’s important that the practices are taught in a safe, healthy and effective way for each student. As a yoga teacher it is important to understand that all people are different, and to embrace the strengths and differences of each individual.
In my teaching style you will learn to turn your senses inward (pratyāhāra), you will improve your focus and learn to practice to the rhythm of your own breath. The meditation and concentration makes the practice meaningful, and is a gateway to your inner dimensions.
