Thanks to Scott there is much more quality in my ashtanga yoga practice.  I particularly appreciate his individual approach to students. Not only is he a great yoga teacher, he is also a very compassionate human-being. With his asana adjustments, guided meditation and pranayama practices, Scott has brought a lot of joy, clarity and confidence to my practice. Katya

The Ashtanga Yoga Italy retreat includes:

  • Mindfulness Meditation
  • Pranayama/breathing techniques
  • Ashtanga yoga - Mysore
  • Chanting
  • Yoga Philosophy
  • Embodied movement techniques

Over the two week intensive you will gain insight into your own patterns of practice and how to move in your own unique way. If working with pain or injuries there will be fresh light on how to alleviate and work with these issues.

We will use the wider context of technique, adjustment theory, anatomy, mindfulness and philosophy to see how we can notice things in a fresh way. This will also help you to see the practice of yoga in a wider context to your life.
