Ashtanga Basics ($8 Comm STUDIO)

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.
