AYS Raleigh is proud to host David Garrigues in Raleigh, North Carolina May 15-May 19, 2019 for a 24 Hour in-depth study of the Second Series of postures in the Ashtanga Vinyasa system of yoga.

*** No Prior Experience with Second Series required ***

David is skillful in providing explanations of elusive, often unspoken aspects of the practice. During in-depth studies, there are four central themes:

1: Mysore Class

2: Asana study (both practical and theoretical)

3: Ujjayi Breathing and Pranayama (both practical and theoretical)

4: Study of sacred texts (including Yoga Sutras, Hatha Yoga Pradipika, Shiva Samhita and Bhagavad Gita).

This in-depth study will have a focus on Ashtanga Yoga’s Second Series or Nadi Shodhana. The 4 day intensive will provide the student with a concentrated and heightened learning experience that will help he/she develop practical and technical yoga skills and be immersed in the inspirational magic and poetic soul of Ashtanga Yoga’s Intermediate Series.

*** ABOUT DAVID ***
David Garrigues is one of a few teachers in the US certified to teach Ashtanga Yoga by Sri K Pattabhi Jois. David met Pattabhi Jois in 1993 and over the next 16 years he traveled to Mysore India to study with the great yoga master. In 1996 Pattabhi Jois granted David a teaching certificate. As an Ashtanga Ambassador he bases his teachings on the idea that ‘ANYONE CAN TAKE PRACTICE’, a core idea in the teachings of Sri K Pattabhi Jois. David’s mission is to help others flourish within the living, contemporary lineage of Ashtanga Yoga.

In his workshops David offers a combination both traditional counted vinyasa led classes and clinic style led classes that investigate specific aspects of the practice in varying levels of detail. These important classes feature more verbal instruction; they give students a chance to slow things down, see new ways to orient during practice, get explanations of elusive, often unspoken aspects of the practice, and understand the Ashtanga method in greater, more subtle detail. Mysore, chanting and kirtan classes are also frequently included in a workshop. During the weekend David weaves together studies of asana, pranayama, bandhas, vinyasa, chanting, bhakti yoga, yoga sutra’s and other elements to help develop Ashtanga Vidya (knowledge).
