Ashtanga Primary Series

About this event

This will be an abbreviated approach to the traditional Ashtanga Primary Series that offers many of the main postures that most practitioners will be able to perform and modify into. Ashtanga Yoga (Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga) is a traditional, dynamic style of yoga. It synchronises a specific breath pattern (Ujjayi pranayama) with a progressive, flowing sequence of physical postures ( asanas ). The word Ashtanga translates from Sanskrit to "eight-limbed yoga" ( ashta = eight, anga = limb), referencing the ancient eight-fold path laid out in Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras . The repetition of the set of standard postures allows students to enter a meditative state and master the poses.
