POSTPONED -- Intro to Ashtanga Immersion w/ Melissa Ratkovich


This workshop has been postponed. Check back for it to be rescheduled soon!

Curious about Ashtanga Yoga? Taken a class or two and want to know more? Join Melissa for an introduction to this unique traditional practice designed to purify the body and clear the mind through breath, movement and focus.

Anyone new to yoga or just new to Ashtanga will benefit from this workshop, coming away with a deeper understanding of the practice, and a strong foundation from which to begin their exploration into this profound way to practice yoga.

This Immersion includes:

Saturday February 20th from 11am-1pm: What is Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga? A short talk will get you acquainted with the practice, its key elements, and the foundation of the practice, Sun Salutation A & B.

Sunday February 21st from 11am-1pm: Introduction to Mysore Style Practice. You'll learn more about the roots of the Ashtanga practice and how it is traditionally taught, begin learning the Standing Sequence of the Ashtanga yoga system, and get an opportunity to practice "Mysore style", preparing you to walk into your first AYS Raleigh class with confidence.

Unlimited Class Pass for the period February 22nd - March 7th. You'll get a chance to put what you've learned into action. Join us for any Mysore style classes to continue practicing what you learned in the immersion, and establishing a strong self-paced practice with guidance and encouragement from our teachers and community. You may attend the led classes too, but check with a teacher first so we can give you some guidelines for getting the most out of the class.

This workshop will take place online via Zoom, with limited spaces available for In-House students. If you prefer to attend in-house, please send a note to info@aysraleigh.com with your preference before registering.
