Description of the retreat
Illuminate Your Practice
A 1-2 week Ashtanga Yoga Self Practice and Workshop Intensive with Scott Johnson
For many of us our yoga practice is deeply important to us. It can make us feel like we’re flying, and yet there are so many things that come up through the process of practice itself. It’s these processes, those things that challenge us, that can be the most profound.
Wherever you are, whatever you bring, this Mysore Yoga retreat will shine a light on your practice, illuminating what’s coming up, and explore different ways of moving through it, whether you are working with an injury, feel a little stuck in your practice, or feel like you’re flying.
This retreat is for all practitioners of yoga to discover their own way of practicing this profound system of yoga.
Scott will draw on his 18 years of experience teaching Mysore Ashtanga Yoga and Mindfulness to shine a light on your yoga practice and help you discover something fresh…
The retreat will include:
- Mindfulness Meditation
- Pranayama/breathing techniques
- Ashtanga yoga – Self practice and guided classes
- Chanting
- Philosophy
- Movement technique.
- Yoga clinics focusing on peoples unique patterns and issues.
What you will gain from the retreat:
Over the 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 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.
PROGRAM:
- 3 Hours x 6 morning classes
- 2 Hours x 3 afternoon classes
- Morning classes
- There will be instruction and guidance in:
- Mindfulness
- pranayama

The afternoons workshops will be a response to what comes up in the morning classes, blending anatomy, technique, philosophy, movement theory and mindfulness practice to help you with your own personal patterns and practice.
There will be a yoga clinic each week where you can ask particular questions on any aspect of your yoga practice.
