We are very happy to let you know that Laruga Glaser has accepted our invitation to come back this fall, to teach our morning Mysore classes and give a 3-day Workshop at JYB. Our residential Ashtanga teacher Elinore Burke will assist her Mysore classes from September 28th until October 2nd. Laruga is one of the world’s best-known and most experienced practitioners and teachers of Ashtanga Yoga. She began the practice in 1998, studied with Sri K. Pattabhi Jois and his grandchildren for a long time in Mysore, India, and received an authorization to pass the centuries-old line of Ashtanga to her students. She also met our resident JYB Ashtanga teacher Elinore in Mysore this year. Laruga’s practice and teaching style is characterised by a feminine lightness, peace and extraordinary strength. It will surely be very enriching to learn from her and thus deepen your individual practice.

**Laruga Glaser**

Laruga Glaser has been practicing Ashtanga yoga continuously for over 23 years. Starting in the beginning of her 20s, she was immediately drawn to the practice after working with other forms of yoga years prior. After establishing a committed practice she then deepened her studies traveling to Mysore, India annually to practice at KPJAYI where the late Sri K. Pattabhi Jois taught and now his grandson, R. Sharath Jois teaches. Laruga has made more than 14 trips to Mysore and is on a mission to continue to learn and grow as a student as well as a teacher. She is one of the few in the world who have been given the distinction of being certified to teach up to Advanced B, which is not easily given and takes many years to earn. Through it all, Laruga teaches as an act of deep sharing and love for what yoga develops in each individual, facilitating space to open, challenge, and inspire those to realize their inherent potential, and has been personally invited all over the world to do so.

PROGRAM INTENSIVE WEEKEND WORKSHOP

MONDAY - FRIDAY 28 September - 2 October 2020:

07:00-10:00 Morning Mysore Class (assisted by Elinore)

FRIDAY 2 October:

17:00-19:00 Led Primary Series with Q&A

SATURDAY 3 October:

10:30-12:30 Awakening The Core - Bandhas, Breath and More

In this workshop become more intimately rooted to the internal network of the bandhas while tuning to the central axis of the body. Properly understanding how to engage the bandhas not only bring lightness to the body but also stability and clarity to the mind. Learn to become more closely connected to this often elusive and mysterious part of the practice of Ashtanga yoga, appropriate for all levels.

14:00-16:30 Dynamic Transitions

Learn the dynamics of flight. In this class experience helpful techniques accessing the sometimes daunting part of the Ashtanga Vinyasa system, the jump-back and jump-through. Though challenging, need not be elusive to the practice, and believe it or not, the primary series prepares one to do so. Time will be taken to break down the parts and give useful tools to build inner strength and allow vinyasas to naturally become fluid and graceful. Building upon the jump through we will also experiment with jumping into and exiting out of various postures for added variety and adaptability.

SUNDAY 4 October:

11:00-13:30 Arm Balances & Strength Building

Experience the exhilaration of arm balances in a playful and explorative way, while learning the basic elements and foundational techniques to successfully construct an arm balance practice. Proper alignment, strength building as well as energizing the subtle body will be addressed in this inspiring and informative workshop for all levels.

14:15-16:15 Power Down: The Ashtanga Yoga Closing Sequence

The Ashtanga yoga closing sequence is comprised of a series of postures to cool, center and calm the body at the end of the practice. With various inverted postures and longer breath holds, gain greater understanding and awareness into this important sequence of postures.
