Expect to sweat, stretch and leave feeling calm and relaxed. This program requires a tremendous amount of inner discipline.
“Expect to Fail— In the Ashtanga Yoga method nothing is meant to be easy on your first try. This is part of the lesson of the practice. Instead of making the practice easy, the method asks you to make your mind strong. If you accept your failure and learn to love yourself anyway, you’re practicing a valuable life skill. You should feel somewhat overwhelmed in the midst of your first Ashtanga Yoga practice. It gets better after many years!” (Description courtesy of Yoga Hana)
The Ashtanga program is now officially launched and available at all times at Modo Yoga Vaudreuil. Possibility to practice Ashtanga 5 days a week : three mysore-style practices (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday AM), one led 1/4 Primary Series practice (Thursday AM), 2 led 1/2 Primary Series (Monday and Friday PM) and one led full primary series (Friday AM). It’s accessible to all, including pregnant moms that have been practicing yoga before. We don’t recommend the only class on Thursday morning in the hot room for pregnant moms that never practiced hot yoga before.
“The format of the practice always remains the same; one always begins practice with Surya Namaskar, concludes with Padmasana and rest, and the various asanas gradually fill the space between these two poles. Learning yoga in this traditional manner benefits the student on many levels. It is possible for one to gain independence and confidence in their sadhana (spiritual practice), as well, something truly becomes one’s own when they learn it by heart.
It is through the daily practice of Ashtanga Yoga that we draw it into ourselves, understand it, and become proficient in its methods, thereby reaping its wide range of benefits. For this to be accomplished, a slow, dedicated and patient approach is best. Mysore practices are Monday to Wednesday, 6am to 9am. To have access, please email the studio as you need the infos to enter into the studio as students arrives anytime between 6am and 9am.
