Moments in Ashtanga Yoga
with
Scott Johnson
What you will gain from the retreat
As we navigate the end of one year and the beginning of another, Scott will guide you through the many elements of yoga and how they help us to become more present in our lives. Through the practices of Ashtanga Yoga, meditation, technique and philosophy we will look at how their integration helps us find our own way, our own unique movement and our own connection to ourselves and the world.
We will celebrate letting go and beginning again with beautiful intentions .
Scott Johnson will draw on his 20 years of experience teaching Mysore-style Ashtanga Yoga and Mindfulness to shine a light on your yoga practice and help you discover fresh insights.
‘I have been playing with yoga on and off for close to 20 years. Over that time I have lost range of motion and mobility. As I have struggled with poses and positions, yoga teachers have always told me “Yoga is a journey”. I thought it must be a very painful trip. I attended Scott’s retreat in Salento and in a week Scott set me on a path to recover 20 years of range of motion and mobility. I now believe that yoga is a journey and Scott is showing me the path. Finally someone who is guiding my journey. With timely adjustments, insightful appraisals of physical limitations and encouragement, Scott has brought joy and most importantly hope and belief to my practice.’
