Ashtanga Yoga - Mysore
occurs on: Sunday 28th November
time: 10:30 - 12:30
cost: £10.00 per session
A Mysore Ashtanga class is a traditional silent, peaceful class that is highly personalised. You can either just come along and enjoy working at your own pace on your own, or you can indicate that you would like me to support your exploration of the postures. You can arrive and leave when you like during the Mysore class as everyone will be working at their own pace.
This style of class gives you more time to explore postures you want to work on and to move through the sequence at your own pace. I will give you an assist pebble which you can use to indicate you do or do not want assists. I teach you additional postures in the sequence when you are ready and teach deepening of postures when you are ready. We can even create a specific Ashtanga yoga sequence for you with individual adaptations for your body.
As this is not a demonstrated class you will need to have attended at least 8 Ashtanga classes before attending this class, I do provide prompt sheets and will let you know which asana is next if you get stuck.

about the Teacher
Emma Lowther-Wright: Studio Director
Hi, I'm Emma and I am very fortunate to have been trained to teach Ashtanga Yoga by world-renowned John Scott. John is one of the key teachers who brought Ashtanga yoga from India to Europe.
I am dedicated to and immersed in the Ashtanga practice and continue to travel to study with senior 500hr international teachers including Eddie Stern, Scott Johnson and Greg Nardi.
I teach with an emphasis on clear communication, empowerment, joy and compassion. I am especially interested in the neuroscience of yoga, how yoga can release physically held mental and emotional tension and how yoga can help us to live with greater joy, confidence and ease.
As well as studio classes I work within the community teaching in workplaces and education settings and to members of our community with physical and mental health challenges including those with deafness, who use a wheelchair and have cognitive challenges.
My classes are heart-lifting, empowering, flowing dances to the rhythm of the breath. I share movement and meditation practices with kindness, encouragement and joy - I hope to welcome you to a class soon.
