Samasthiti – The Art of Verticality: A Yoga Workshop and Demonstration

with Joey Miles
The Yoga Rooms, Chorlton
12.00 – 3.30pm Sunday 24 June 2012

An in-depth exploration of alignment in the Ashtanga Yoga standing sequence: Surya Namaskara and Standings are like practising scales in music – this class is designed to bring clarity, precision and rigour to the method of practice resulting in equanimity.

Joey began daily yoga practice as a teenager in 1998. After completing his degree in Drama he became an assistant to Hamish Hendry at Astanga Yoga London – during this time he studied annually with the late Sri K. Pattabhi Jois in Mysore and in 2004 was Authorised to teach the Primary Series. On his recent visit to Mysore Joey assisted daily for a month and was given Authorisation Level 2. (Blessing to teach the intermediate series) by Sharat Jois of KPJAYI. Joey’s intention is to bring clarity and emphasis to sound alignment within the ashtanga system, thereby demonstrating the unity among different schools of yoga.
