Ashtanga Yoga Course (4 weeks)

A month long course to be introduced gently and progressively to the practice of Ashtanga Yoga in a small group.

Learn Ashtanga the Mysore Way

Curious about Ashtanga Yoga and its traditional Mysore-Style way of learning? In this month long course we offer you the opportunity to be introduced gently and progressively to the practice of Ashtanga Yoga.

We will meet on 4 tuesday evenings in a small group for a special class which will take you through the foundational aspects of this practice, a bit of theory, a lot of practice, and some yoga philosophy too.

Brought to you by Claudia & Ombretta, dedicated practitioners & Ashtanga teachers, you will receive both group and individual instructions and suggestions on how to find ease in the practice. At the end of the course you will feel confident in joining both led and Mysore-Style Ashtanga yoga classes, as well as maintaining your own self practice at home.

The course also gives you access to ashtanga led and mysore style classes throughout the whole month, as complementing these weekly sessions with some extra classes will accelerate the learning process.

ABOUT THE TEACHERS

CLAUDIA PRADELLA

Claudia teaches yoga as a moving meditation, an uninterrupted flow of movement, breath and concentration. She brings all of her own yoga and healing experiences to her teaching, encouraging each student to become more self-aware and to explore the different aspects of yoga.

She has been practicing yoga since 1999. The encounter with Ashtanga Yoga in her early yoga journey has kindled a life long commitment to practice and to explore the manyfold benefits of this practice under the guidance of various teachers – the Jois family, Lino Miele and Eddie Stern being the most influential. She’s also extensively studied pranayama, yin yoga, mindfulness and breathwork, and has a deep passion for yoga philosophy, the Buddha-Dharma and self-inquiry.

OMBRETTA DETTORI

She holds a space that is receptive, inclusive and non judgemental; she encourages an open dialogue with her students so that the practice of yoga can be at the service of the individual, in that very moment. In her classes she draws from her multifaceted background: yoga therapy, ayurveda, psychology, birth and postpartum doula, as needed.

Ombretta took her first Ashtanga Yoga class in 2013 and she has been practicing with growing dedication since. She is passionate of self inquiry, conscious relating, shamanism and archetypal work; she studied extensively Ayurveda and Yoga Therapy.
