A Progressive Approach to Ashtanga Yoga
Rather than following the complete traditional Primary Series, this class explores selected sections, postures, and themes from the Ashtanga system. This approach allows students to develop a solid foundation while respecting the needs and abilities of different bodies and experience levels. The focus is on learning the principles of the practice, refining alignment, and building confidence step by step.
Who Is This Class For? This class is suitable for:
• Beginners interested in discovering Ashtanga Yoga
• Students with some yoga experience looking to build strong foundations
• Practitioners wishing to improve strength, mobility, and concentration
Those seeking a full traditional Primary Series or an advanced Ashtanga practice may find the pace and structure more accessible and educational than a standard Mysore or Led Primary Series class. Classes are taught in English and French, with posture names given in Sanskrit.
