What is ASHTANGA YOGA? Read more. |
Ashtanga Yoga is a challenging and flowing form of Hatha Yoga, which brings the body, mind and spirit into perfect alignment and function. The Ashtanga practice combines breath control, isometrics, focused gazing, and an uninterrupted sequence of postures into a moving meditation, enhancing self awareness and concentration. All classes are ongoing and open to all students.
Astanga Beginner
This class is a one-hour introduction to the sequence of postures that make up the Primary Series of Ashtanga Yoga and a great place to start your practice. Students learn the fundamentals of moving with the breath and maintainng concentration. Instructed by Scott York.
Ashtanga Primary Series
Called Yoga Chikitsa, or "yoga therapy" in Sanskrit, the Primary Series of Ashtanga Yoga is a specific sequence of postures designed to align the body and help protect and rehabilitate it from injury, while freeing the senses. The series, when committed to memory becomes a meditation in motion. By coordinating every movement with the breath, this series serves to unwind the back body from the base of the toes up to the top of the skull. Students range from beginners to advanced - as the Primary Series is a practice for a lifetime. This is a one and a half hour class. (Please note, at the Instructor's discretion, advanced students may be permitted to practice Second Series.) Read more about our Ashtanga Instructors.
