Intro to Ashtanga

Guided by Kacy Harnedy
STAY TUNED FOR A NEW FALL DATE

Yoga is more than the continued pursuit of the next challenging posture. Asana (posture) is only a gateway into the real heart of yoga and all its delights. 

We will begin with a short introduction to Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga, its tradition, mythology and ultimate context within modern yoga. The remainder of the session will be a guided class, allowing space for explanations of methodology and pose exploration. Throughout the class we will cultivate a sense of moving from the inside out - awakening the deep sensations of the inner breath (pranayama) and feeding them into a liberated external form (posture). 

This 90 minute workshop will focus on the opening chant, Surya Namaskar A & B and some of the fundamental postures of Ashtanga. 

Not suitable for those without a vinyasa practice.
