Looking forward to this weekends workshop with one of Ashtanga Yogas OGs, @kathycooper11 at @yogasanghamanchester
Kathy Cooper has dedicated more than four decades to the practice and teaching of Ashtanga Yoga. Beginning her practice in 1976, Kathy studied extensively with David Williams (@ashtanga4life )and Nancy Gilgoff, who taught her all of the Ashtanga series and pranayama. She also studied with K. Pattabhi Jois in the US and in Mysore, India.
- Led Primary
We’ll begin our weekend with a led Primary Series class.
Kathy’s teaching emphasises presence, inner connection and mindful strength, encouraging us to discover greater balance, vitality and joy within the practice.
- Mysore
Each morning will begin with a Mysore Self-Practice guided class.
Workshops include:
- Breath & Bandhas
An exploration of breath and bandha awareness, together with alignment principles to support safe practice and longevity.
- Back Bending
Exploring the principles and insights behind safe back bending.
This workshop will include development work and adaptations, allowing you to explore backbending in a way that supports your own practice.
- Inversions & Ashtanga Conversations
Kathy will break down inversions and explore how they link to posture and the wider practice.
If you want to be an Ashtangi in your seventies, posture is key. So who better to learn from than someone who is actually doing it!
We will also have the opportunity to hear Kathy talk about her 50-year journey with Ashtanga, how the practice and tradition have evolved, her experiences along the way and what she has learned through a lifetime of practice and teaching.
