Inspired learning
Level-up your practice
Loving your weekly yoga class but wishing it was longer? Join us for this unique 6-day course with regular Yogarise teachers, Rishin Paonaskar and Ayesha Sowani as they take you on a journey through all that is yoga, taking your practice beyond asana. Over the course of three weekends, this course offers you the opportunity to take your yoga practice deeper.
About the course
Each day will begin with a led asana practice based on that day’s theme. Each practice will include a visit to the Asana lab, where peak and often complex poses are broken down to ensure they are fully understood, offering modifications so everything is achievable.
The mid-morning lectures will cover history, philosophy, and the subtle body. The afternoons will include practical sessions delving deeply into different breathing exercises and kriyas. Each day will finish with a calming, quietening Yin, Nidra, or restorative practice, and an appropriate meditation.
Each day has plenty of time for Q&A, journaling, and group discussion.
WHAT WILL I LEARN?
By the end of the 6 sessions you will have had an opportunity to:
– Develop and maintain your own personal home practice and integrate self-practice into your daily life.
– Understand the historical context of yoga.
– Gain confidence working on breathing, meditation, mindfulness, and relaxation techniques on your own.
– Explore one of the classic texts on Yoga, the Yoga Sutras, and see how it remains relevant to today’s yogi.

Your teachers
Rishin Paonaskar + Ayesha Sowani
Rishin Paonaskar grew up in India and although yoga was taught at his school, he didn’t take it up until several years later to recuperate from a cycling injury.
He has since trained as a myofascial body worker with senior Forrest Yoga teachers Jambo Truong and Brian Campbell, with Judith Hanson Lasater and as a yoga sports coach with the Institute of Yoga Sport Science.
Ayesha Sowani is Indian and grew up in various countries across Asia. She first encountered yoga at a young age through her family and has been practicing ever since. Her interests and belief in yoga as healing and grounding for both body and mind led her to want to further her understanding and knowledge of the subject in both theory and practice.
