A one-week Ashtanga yoga immersion with Dylan Bernstein at Casa Cook Hotel, El Gouna. Dylan shares from decades of practice and teaching experience. His goal is to empower you to take your practice further and enjoy a stable yoga practice anytime, anywhere.
Morning Mysore: Sunday- Friday 8am -10am
Ashtanga is a practice that one keeps returning to, day by day, going deeper and deeper. Learning the practice in a traditional way, in the Mysore-style class, gives each practitioner a chance to work at their own pace. Dylan will help beginners learn the vital fundamentals step-by-step. Re-starters are certainly most welcome to come and find a supportive, comfortable environment to again take up the practice. Experienced practitioners, and teachers, will certainly find benefit from Dylan's unique approach and careful lifetime study. Mysore classes will be offered from Sunday to Thursday.
On Friday April 15, we'll take the chance to explore a traditional led class, counted in Sanskrit. No one will be asked to do more than they are comfortable with!
Afternoon Workshops : Monday & Thursday 4-6 pm
The afternoon workshops will be addressing the different elements of your yoga practice in more depth. We will be exploring bandha, breath and the essential movements. This is a deep dive into what matters most in our daily practice. We'll also micro-detail the alignment for building towards jump-backs and the vinyasa positions we use the most. As we must never think of yoga as being only asana or based around postures, we will also be exploring a variety of techniques for sitting and centering. Dylan hopes to impart inspiration for continuing a regular yoga practice, grounded in self-love, care and acceptance.
Dylan Bernstein was fortunate enough to be introduced to yoga and meditation in 1989. A lifelong interest in Asian philosophy, culture and poetics brought him to reside in Asia, where he has maintained his home base since 2001. Dylan has a master’s degree in Buddhist studies, was authorised to teach Ashtanga by the Shri K. Pattabhi Jois Ashtanga Yoga Institute in 2012 and is EYRT-500 certified by Yoga Alliance. A student of teaching techniques, Dylan has a background in pedagogy and cognitive development. His classes are designed to put students into direct contact with their own true internal teachers. Yoga has never been limited to asana for Dylan and yet he values the critical role that the physical practice can play in bringing light to one’s whole being. Dylan is delighted to reach out to yoga communities worldwide. He has helped to build bustling, supportive and ongoing Mysore groups in Hong Kong, Istanbul and Bali. In addition to running stable Ashtanga programs, he has taught workshops and high-level immersions in dozens of locations worldwide. He is currently teaching more selectively, running an online mentorship program and writing.
