ASHTANGA FUNDAMENTALS
COMING SOON!
The Sanskrit word Ashtanga translates into 'eight limbs' in English. One of the eight limbs is the practice of Asana (physical poses).
The asanas performed in Ashtanga Yoga vary from simple to complex, and are particularly useful for strengthening the muscles (especially the core muscles) and for increasing flexibility and stamina. The asanas themselves are predetermined and executed in the same order during each practice. Each asana sequence flows into the next, and the order is as important as how you're breathing and holding each pose. The physical exertion purifies the physical body while the breathing techniques help to quiet the mind and increase awareness.
This 1-hour class offers a safe introduction to the Ashtanga Vinyasa method of yoga. We will be moving through a modified (half) Primary Series where you will build the strength and confidence necessary to move into more advanced poses with practice. For students already familar with the Primary Series this class offers a nice review.
