We will explore the Primary Series including mantra, meditation & pranayama (breath work). The practice begins with Sun Salutations followed by a standing sequence, a seated sequence, backbends & then finishing with a closing sequence and savasana. The poses are done in a specific order and will be linked with the breath. The breath will guide us into the asana. The purpose of this practice is purification of the body & mind. We create Tapas (inner fire) with the breath and postures to burn away impurities & toxins. We will also explore the 8 limbs of yoga as Ashtanga is translated as the '8 limbs'. The goal is that by the end of the course you will have the framework to begin a personalized home yoga practice and also have a deeper understanding and experience of Ashtanga yoga. The classes with include hands-on adjustments if you desire. You will also begin to learn the Sanskrit names of the poses and their meaning.
