Ashtanga yoga is a set sequence of yoga postures linked together with pranayama (breath work) and vinyasas (flow) to build heat in the body. This is a dynamic and athletic form of yoga that has proven very effective in building strength and toning the body. The practice itself is a moving meditation promoting mental and emotional balance.

The Introduction to Ashtanga Yoga workshop is a 3-part series that will introduce key principles for the Primary Series including the opening mantra, breath work, warm up, standing and seated series, and energy locks. Each class will build up on the other and the third will be the climax of putting theory to practice.

If you are disciplined or want to cultivate more discipline in your day-to-day life this practice is an excellent tool to help you develop that muscle. The set sequence is also a great tool for measuring progress in your daily practice. No prior yoga experience is necessary, modifications will be offered, but not suggested for beginners.

We will learn simple breathing techniques to help promote self-calming and relaxation and adding in yoga poses to bring body awareness, strength and flexibility. We will provide a journal for each student to use in class and take home. Journaling gives students a chance to take some of their thoughts to paper to truly connect their mind and body awareness.
