Ashtanga is the synchronised movement of classical yoga postures along the thread of the breath. The movement (or vinyasa) is counted, which gives the mind a focus. The whole practise becomes a moving meditation, a complete synchronicity and union of mind, body and breath.
In this Introduction to Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga we will take a deeper look at the fundamental qualities that are the foundation of Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga. Breath, Bandha and drishti will be demystified, so you can make a deeper connection to the tradition of this beautiful practice.
Ness will guide you through the Primary Series which will encourage you to move beyond your perceived limitations and bring balance to both strength and flexibility. Ashtanga Vinyasa is a practice that ultimately shifts our attention inwards and gives us a greater understanding of ourselves and our internal landscape.
We will move through as much of the Primary Series as the group allows. Modifications will be offered.
