Ashtanga Basics ($8 Comm STUDIO)
with James Langton (sub for Emily Cox)

This class is held in the Shiva Room at Maya Yoga. 

We carefully design these classes to introduce students to this classical form of Ashtanga Yoga in a safe, supportive way. We begin with the classical breathing techniques and movements which are the core of this approach to yoga. The original sequence of Primary Series is broken down in a way that is approachable for many fitness levels, as well as providing modifications or challenges appropriate for each individual.

The Primary Series is a set sequence of postures designed to bring strength, flexibility, and endurance to the body.  It is designed to purify the body through the breath and the movement to invoke a stillness of the mind.

These classes are for anyone who has the desire to learn yoga. The Ashtanga sequences make it easy for students to develop a personal practice and give a fundamental understanding that can be applied to all yoga. These classes are taught in a non-competitive environment to students of all ages and body types.
