"Intro to Ashtanga" is a comprehensive experience that aims to introduce you to the fundamental aspects of the Ashtanga yoga system.
This dynamic and physically demanding style of yoga focuses on a specific sequence of postures, meticulously linked together with synchronized breathing. In this class, our experienced instructors will expertly guide you through the primary series, incorporating essential elements such as breath control (pranayama), drishti (gazing point), and vinyasa (flow) transitions.
During the sessions, we will not only work on building strength and flexibility, but also emphasize the cultivation of mindfulness and self-awareness. Whether you are a complete beginner or have some prior yoga experience, this class is thoughtfully designed to provide you with a structured introduction to Ashtanga.
Our aim is to ensure that you have the space and opportunity to grow at your own pace, allowing for a gradual and gratifying exploration of Ashtanga yoga.
Prepare yourself for a challenging yet immensely rewarding experience that will set the stage for a deeper understanding and practice of Ashtanga. We look forward to accompanying you on this transformative journey!
