This special Five Day Intensive is for those looking for more than a weekend workshop or an alternative to a teacher training program. It is a rare opportunity to practice with David in the traditional Mysore style and focus on deepening your own practice.
Practice in the mornings, relax, explore and enjoy summer in Vermont in the afternoons. A wonderful yoga vacation, an enriching opportunity to study or an extension of a teacher training program.
Mysore Style
These classes are taught in the traditional method that Pattabhi Jois uses in Mysore. These classes are not conducted but rather the students flow along on their own through whichever series they are currently working on while David roams the room to make adjustments and corrections where they are needed. Students participating must be familiar with the flow and sequencing of the Ashtanga Yoga Primary Series. Again, please note, there will be no verbal instruction given to the group.
The Five Day intensive is scheduled between two seven day Primary Series Teacher Training Courses with David. Instructors participating in those courses may want to consider extending their stay to include this five day program.
About David Swenson
David Swenson began practicing yoga in 1969 at the age of 13. His older brother Doug was his first teacher. They practiced hatha yoga from whatever books they could find. David's introduction to Ashtanga came in 1973 when he met David Williams and Nancy Gilgoff in Encinitas, California. In 1975 David and Nancy brought K. Pattabhi Jois to the U.S. for the first time and Swenson was fortunate enough to be there. He then initiated studies directly with the master. Swenson made his first trip to Mysore in 1977 and learned the full Ashtanga system as it was originally taught by K. Pattabhi Jois. David Swenson is recognized today as one of the worlds foremost practitioners and instructors of Ashtanga Yoga.
