Ashtanga Primary Series - A Closer Look

We will start with a discussion on the history and philosophy of the Ashtanga system. Diving into the theory behind the Mysore method and why the Primary Series is laid out the way it is. We will follow this up with a very slow and workshopped version of full primary. Breaking down each of the postures and discussing modifications and the vinyasa count as well as alignment.

Safe & Pain Free Backbending

In this backbend focused workshop, we will be diving deep into the backbends that come in the first section of the intermediate series of Ashtanga. We will discuss safe alignment and targeted strength so that we can learn to approach backbending without any pain. During the practice portion you will learn some front body opening postures that can help create space in your backbends as well as strength drills that will teach your body to work from a place of integrity rather than a place of passive mobility.

Full Led Primary

After learning how to approach the primary series in a safe way it is now time to put theory into practice! A fully counted led primary is just the place to do that. We will build internal heat and get the body moving over the course of 90 minutes or so while sticking to the traditional vinyasa count.
