Mysore assisted self-practice with Gina

Thursday 7:15 - 9.00am

Join Gina for Mysore assisted self-practice. This is a self-paced, traditional method of practicing Ashtanga Yoga where the practitioner moves through a set sequence of postures with guidance, support and adjustments from the teacher in a shared group practice space. 

Our approach to teaching Yoga at Ashtanga Yoga Hastings allows our students to find deeper levels of understanding and connection with their Yoga practice, and ultimately themselves. Relationships are at the heart of our teaching – we take the time to get to know our students, allowing us to understand their individual needs. The Mysore assisted self-practice approach allows us to work in a deep, person-centred way, while the led classes complement this by providing additional support for our students. At AYH, we focus on cultivating and nurturing a teaching environment in which our students can realise the true potential of Yoga, whatever that might mean for them.

About Gina 

Gina is co-founder of Ashtanga Yoga Hastings with Andy Gill, and she has been teaching since 2019 in London, St Leonards & Hastings. Alongside teaching her own led classes, she has been assisting Andy in the Mysore space and doing an ongoing apprenticeship/mentoring with him since 2022. Gina practices primary and intermediate series with her teachers Andy, Ajay Kumar & Inna Costantini. As part of her commitment and development of her practice, she makes an annual trip to Ajay's Shala Sthalam8 in Mysore, India (2023 ongoing) to continue practicing and studying under his guidance.

From personal experience and practice, she believes strongly in the benefits of the Ashtanga Vinyasa framework and method. She sees Yoga as a personal practice and aims to create an environment where the practitioner feels supported and encouraged to explore their own potential, and to strengthen the mind-body connection. Gina also teaches 'led' Ashtanga Fundamentals, Ashtanga Vinyasa, Yin Yoga and practices Reiki energy healing - please contact her for more info.
