Ashtanga Yoga

Service Description

Ashtanga Yoga: A Moving Meditation of Strength, Breath, and Discipline Step into a practice that’s both deeply meditative and physically powerful. Ashtanga Yoga is a dynamic, traditional form of Hatha yoga rooted in the rhythm of breath and movement. Known for its structured sequences and internal heat, this practice builds strength, flexibility, focus, and resilience—both on and off the mat. At the heart of Ashtanga is vinyasa—the graceful linking of postures through breath. You'll begin with a series of energizing Sun Salutations, followed by standing and seated postures designed to awaken the full body. Over time, as your practice evolves, you may be introduced to more advanced sequences. Ashtanga is more than a physical discipline—it’s a holistic system inspired by the eight limbs of yoga (Ashta = eight, Anga = limbs). These include ethical living, self-discipline, breath control, posture, sensory withdrawal, focus, meditation, and ultimately, unity with the self. In this way, Ashtanga offers not just a workout, but a path to clarity, presence, and transformation. This class offers an adapted version of the Primary Series, with modifications and guidance to support every level. Whether you're new to Ashtanga or deepening an existing practice, you'll find challenge, flow, and quiet strength in each breath. What to bring: - yoga mat - water bottle - comfortable clothes to move, bend, and sweat in How to Prepare: - hydration is recommended before you begin practice - eat light or wait until after class so that you may move, bend, twist, fold, and bend with ease, and free from discomfort
