About this event

This class is based on the traditional lineage of Ashtanga with care in regards to those in attendance, making it as accessible as possible for a range of practitioners. It is based on the primary series and goes in the order of the traditional sequence, however it will not always be the exact same flow as there will be variance in the postures chosen for each occasion. I offer gentle hands-on assists during class only when I feel confident I will be helping a student find their alignment and/or go deeper into the posture - AND when I have received consent to do so. 75 minutes breaks down as such: First 15-20 minutes Landing on our mats Opening invocation Sun Salutations Next 20 minutes Standing postures Next 15 minutes Selection of seated postures Final 20-25 minutes Closing postures, final rest and integration Wed. Class: Accessible Ashtanga 1 hour Explore an accessible and abbreviated form of the Ashtanga Primary Series in this 60-minute class that is designed to help you explore your mind and body while cultivating flexibility, strength, stamina, and stillness. Ujjayi Pranayama and Drishtis are used to aid in maintaining concentration and focus as you hold each asana (pose) while building internal heat. Students will gradually become more and more familiar with a set sequence and poses will be added over time based on experience level.
