All students who show up on all 4 mornings will receive a 10% discount on a Term 3 pass. This Intensive is open to all students, beginners are very welcome. Please email if you'd like to join or have any questions.

Following the January break, join Karyn to reconnect with your yoga practice, in a supportive, positive environment, creating good intentions for 2023!

Sunday 15th January, 8 - 10am.

We will begin with accessible pranayama practices and move together into a led practice where Karyn will anchor the practice in the principles of Tristhana, the 3 pillars (breath, drishti and bandha) of the Ashtanga practice. This brings the practice to a place of ease, steadiness and ultimately contentment. We will finish with chai and a chat about the core aspects of Ashtanga yoga.

Monday 16th, Tuesday 17th, Wednesday 18th January, 6.30 - 8.30am

We will again begin together at 6.30am with pranayama practices which help to still the mind and connect with ourselves through awareness of the breath. Each day Karyn will lead the class through the sun salutations and the initial standing poses after which students will continue on their own, practicing in the Mysore - style format.

Cost: $120 (4 classes) Please note that 12 class passes are not valid for this Intensive. Please email Karyn for bookings

I'm excited to be teaching a 4 day Mysore Intensive, 18th - 21st January.

We will start our practice together and I will lead the class through the sun salutations and the initial standing poses to anchor our practice in the principles of breath, drishti and bandha. These 3 pillars of the Ashtanga practice will provide focus and ease as students then move into their self practice with support and guidance.

Starting time 6.30am. Cost $100.

Please note: this workshop is now cancelled due to COVID-19. Please check back in a couple of months as Karyn is hoping to teach a weekend workshop in Guildford in the Spring :)
