Ashtanga Vinyasa “Mysore” and led class back on the early morning schedule
Some 20 years ago Patrick & Gösta were the first to teach Ashtanga Vinyasa in Amsterdam. And now 20 years later it is back on the schedule. We have found Nick Presser - Wang,
or he found us, to teach Ashtanga Vinyasa primary series Mysore style, and there will also be a led Ashtanga class on the schedule.
Nick is a KPJAYI level 2 Authorized Ashtanga teacher as well as a 200 E-RYT. He is a dedicated student of R. Sharath Jois and continues to make yearly pilgrimages to Mysore, India, to study with his teacher. With over 10 years of teaching experience, he has worked with thousands of bodies and takes a practical and functional approach to his teaching method. He believes that with dedication and hard work, the body is limitless; the only limitations are the ones casted within the mind.
In a Mysore style Yoga class, you will gradually learn the Ashtanga Yoga sequence of action and breath, until it becomes a second nature. Moreover, you will learn how to adapt the sequence to your own body, energy level and rhythm of breath, because all instructions are tailored to your individual experience level, body type and study pace. This will allow you to challenge your practice, strengthen your body and sharpen your concentration.
For this self-guided class, you will need experience with the Ashtanga Yoga Primary series, so you won't get lost without instructions. And be sure you’re able to handle a Vinyasa Yoga 2 - Intense Flow or regular Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga class. If you only have experience with other types of non-flow yoga, please discuss this with the teacher. Enjoy your practice!
Ashtanga Yoga, or the ‘modern form of classical yoga’ was developed in the Indian city Mysore by K. Pattabhi Jois. The Mysore Style yoga class is how he used to teach Ashtanga yoga, back in the day: students practice at their own pace and get one-on-one instructions from the teacher.
Instead of the usual teacher-led class, you’ll do your own practice in this Ashtanga Yoga Mysore style class. But don't worry: you'll get plenty of up-close-and-personal attention from our Ashtanga Yoga teacher Nick Presser - Wang.
