Mysore Style Yoga

Applied non-duality

Josh Pryor is rare and irreplaceable.

A student of yoga, his practice extends far beyond the mat to study and application of the ancient texts. Josh held a fascination for metaphysics and philosophy since boyhood and returned to his philosophical roots after a steadfast career in computer science. His approach is light-hearted and undeniably enthusiastic, encouraging practitioners to reimagine limitations of the bodies, resulting in clearer perceptions and altered awareness.

As a yoga teacher he conducted classes at gyms and yoga studios, quickly becoming popular with his laconic approach. He crafted the progressive Mysore style method first found at Ashtanga Yoga Newcastle, before fixing his gaze on a more subtle approach to dissemination of the principles.

Josh has studied and practiced alongside experienced Western yoga teachers and eccentric mystics he met in ashrams, to realise his vision for yoga to be remembered as a path to self-realisation. His fervour for the ancient wisdom buried within the Yoga Taravali, Upanishads and many other yogic texts brings them to life in a modern context.

The Spirit of the Matter, Josh’s debut book, is an example of his devotion to the practice of yoga and clearly demonstrates the potential of reconciling pragmatism with asana and meditation to ensure the tangible benefits of yoga are felt in our everyday lives.

The Seer Sets the Seen, Josh’s second book, is a focused look at non-dual manifestation. The use of clear-minded intention and concentration to modify the world around us, while exposing the limiting beliefs accrued by materialist culture.
