To honour and not interfere with the cycles of the body, at least two days of rest are taken during menstruation (ladies\u2019 holidays).<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Fall and Spring teaching seasons<\/span> offer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Mysore classes<\/strong> from Monday to Friday: In the Mysore classes everyone practises at their own pace while I provide individualized attention. Mysore classes favour self-observation and concentration, fundamental steps along the yogic path. Mysore classes are ideal for beginners, as they are the safest and easiest way to learn the Ashtanga yoga system, as well as for more seasoned practitioners, as they provide you with the space to develop in your own practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Practise-together sessions<\/strong> on Saturday (except for last Saturday of the month): In the practise-together sessions, the teacher becomes a student and we all practise together, each one of us at their own pace. These are very special sharing sessions in which we allow the teachings received during the week to slowly sink in. They are also intended to foster the independence you need to develop a home practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A <strong>monthly primary led class<\/strong> on the last Saturday of the month:\u00a0 In the monthly led class, I guide the group through the primary series using the traditional Sanskrit counting. Led classes are important to firmly establish the correct relationship between breath and movement, essential to develop a clean and, eventually, effortless practice. Unlike the Mysore classes, led classes require you to already have a certain command of the practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Winter and Summer reflection periods<\/span> offer a number of weeks of <strong>practise-together<\/strong> sessions from Monday to Saturday interwoven with weeks of <strong>home practice<\/strong> guided by a personalized plan adapted to your needs and circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gaia Ashtanga Yoga offers a complete Mysore Programme covering the whole year and divided in two teaching seasons, Fall and Spring, interspersed with two reflection periods, Winter and Summer.
