In this 2-week beginners course, you will have the opportunity to be guided by Nathalie Daou, KPJAYI authorized level 2 teacher and Yoga Alliance certified teacher Agostina Fresno. Together we will dive into the practice of the Ashtanga Yoga method, exploring mostly asanas, breathing as well as some basic philosophical aspects of the practice.

Ashtanga Yoga is an energetic and dynamic form of yoga. Movement is synchronized with rhythmic breathing as you progress through a set series of therapeutic yoga postures. You will learn and move step by step through the fundamental postures of the Ashtanga Yoga primary series sequence, with detailed instructions, experiencing the traditional way of learning the Ashtanga Yoga method.

By the end of these two weeks, you will have a much broader understanding of yoga and you will have the knowledge and confidence to join the Mysore class, allowing you to take the first steps towards cultivating your own self-practice. Mysore Style is considered the safest way for a student of any level to learn yoga.

This course is suitable for complete beginners as well as students who wish to join the Mysore classes.
