This class provides a great deal of individual attention and is an excellent way for students to deepen and personalize their practice. Suitable for all levels. A minimum of two months prior experience with the Ashtanga practice is required.

Beginner Ashtanga Primary Series: Led and Mysore
Ashtanga is an ancient system of Yoga that is believed to be the only one with a fully recorded description, where the sequence, postures, and connecting movements are all clearly defined and linked to the breath. The practice uses heat and breath to open and cleanse the body while building strength, flexibility, and focus. As the body opens, movement becomes easier and endurance increases. The meditative aspects of the practice quiet the “busyness” of the mind to create clarity and calm. This series is offered through two types of classes, and students may attend one or both classes each week. Please sign up for either Ashtanga Beginner, one day per week or Ashtanga Beginner Plus two days per week.
