Description
Discover the foundations of Ashtanga Yoga 🌞 in a welcoming and accessible environment. Rooted in a traditional sequence of postures synchronized with the breath 🌬️, this practice helps develop strength 💪, flexibility 🤸, balance ⚖️, concentration 🧠, and stamina 🔥.
Each class includes:
✨ Gentle warm-ups to prepare the body
✨ Traditional Ashtanga-inspired sequences
✨ Breath-synchronized movement 🌬️
✨ Sanskrit names of the postures 🕉️
✨ Final relaxation to integrate the practice 😌
These sessions are designed to help you:
🌟 Build strength and stability
🌟 Improve flexibility and mobility
🌟 Develop focus and discipline
🌟 Deepen your understanding of traditional yoga
🌟 Cultivate a calm and steady mind
Rather than following the complete traditional Primary Series, we will explore selected sections and themes of the Ashtanga system, making the practice accessible and sustainable for a wide range of students.
🗣️ Class is taught in English, with the names of the postures given in Sanskrit.
👥 Suitable for practitioners with some yoga experience as well as curious beginners wishing to discover Ashtanga Yoga in a progressive way.
🙏 Experienced Ashtanga practitioners are welcome, but those looking for a full traditional Primary Series or a highly advanced practice may find the pace and structure gentler than expected. This class offers an opportunity to revisit the foundations, refine alignment, and enjoy a less intense practice.
