Asana practice offers the perfect opportunity to explore svadhyaya; defined as self-reflection, self-contemplation, or the study of oneself. You move and place the various parts of your body to create an asana. You could do this without any real engagement or awareness, carelessly going through the motions while your mind is miles away, or you could work towards staying present with each and every moment as it arises. You could notice how the body responds to being aligned a certain way, observe physical sensations, watch how your mind reacts to what you’re doing with your body, experience any emotions that show up, and listen to the flow of your breath. ✨

2 spots left for the beginners course that is starting this weekend! ✨😍

2 - Weeks Ashtanga Yoga Beginners Course - November 19 to December 2 ✨

In this 2-week beginners course, you will have the opportunity to be guided by Nathalie Daou, KPJAYI authorized level 2 teacher. 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.

Spaces are limited to 8 students
Price: 950 AED

Throughout our practice journey, we all come across “struggle” postures or asanas. 🥲 Ones that we perhaps might not neces- sarily look forward to, or might want to skip when the teacher is not looking (please don’t do that!). These struggle postures are actually the asanas where you can learn the most about yourself, your body, and your mind. Use it as an opportunity to understand and read as to why your body and mind is reacting to it in certain ways.... And if you’d like to share, do let us know in the comments what that struggle asana you are currently dealing with is at this time! ✨

Practicing in a shala with fellow practitioners means that we have to take extra caution and be more aware of ourselves and our surroundings. A few points on shala etiquette during a Mysore practice: 👇🏽

- enter the shala quietly and close the door gently
- no phones or water bottles allowed inside
- practice the Niyama Saucha by showering before coming to class this is a must. Not only does it show respect to the shala and the practice, but also to your fellow practitioners. Sweat is normal but control of body odor is important.
- avoid any perfume or strong smelling deodorant, and if you are allergic to incense please inform someone from the shala.
- no photo/video allowed without shala permission
- wipe around your mat before leaving the room and try to clean your mat without making too much noise
- focus on your practice and resist looking at others or the door every time someone enters the shala
- please avoid chatting whilst other practitioners are still practicing, and talk in a low voice even as you are outside.
- please do not ask for the next posture. Cultivate the Yama Aparigraha, non-greed or non attachment and the Niyama Santosha, contentment and the internal states of yoga, emphasising quality over quantity. ✨

The Shala Dubai dedicated student Nathalie has been with us since 2020, and here is what she has to say: 🤍

“When I signed up for the 4 weeks beginners course in February of 2020, little did I know the amazing journey I was about to embark in.  At that point in time, I didn’t know that Ashtanga yoga would transform my body, mind and spirit. Neither I would have imagined that I will be part of an incredible community. Nathalie’s energy and her passion in teaching is very inspiring and contagious. She taught me that the most important in the practice is to create a solid foundation, enjoy the journey without wanting to reach a destination. Besides, Nathalie has created this very special bond between all practitioners which makes us feel like we have a second home. This journey is long and so exciting, and without a teacher like Nathalie I would have not believed it possible.. I am so grateful to her!”

We love seeing you on your mat everyday, you’re an inspiration ✨🙏🏽
