Presenter:<br />
Morrie Touriel<br />
Morrie is a registered yoga<br />
instructor and psychologist. He<br />
began practicing yoga as a form<br />
of therapy for back injury, and<br />
discovered that yoga offered him<br />
far more than pain relief. Morrie<br />
approaches his teaching and<br />
personal practice believing that<br />
the power of yoga comes from a<br />
focus that goes beyond physical<br />
fitness. It’s Morrie’s passion that<br />
he and his students learn to<br />
translate the triumphs found on<br />
the mat to life off the mat: calm<br />
breath, clear mind, find joy, find<br />
love, practice acceptance, and<br />
experience spiritual awakening.
WHAT IS MYSORE<br />
INSTRUCTION?<br />
This method involves small<br />
group practice with other<br />
students where you are<br />
provided a sequence of poses<br />
(the Ashtanga Primary Series)<br />
to practice under the<br />
supervision of a yoga<br />
instructor. Because everyone is<br />
focused on their own mastery<br />
of the poses, you can be<br />
provided individual instruction<br />
and hands-on adjustments as<br />
others continue to practice.<br />
UNDERSTANDING ASHTANGA<br />
YOGA<br />
Ashtanga Yoga is a style of<br />
yoga designed to enhance<br />
flexibility, strength, and<br />
cardiovascular conditioning. In<br />
its traditional physical practice,<br />
Ashtanga Yoga focuses<br />
attention on the mastery of set<br />
sequences of yoga poses<br />
(asanas) designed to heal and<br />
strengthen the body, develop<br />
mental clarity, and energize our<br />
spirit. This is accomplished<br />
through the practice of proper<br />
breath control, posture, and<br />
gaze points to focus the mind.<br />
