Ashtanga: Inner and Outer Asana Journey
Thursday 18 may 15:00 - 17:00
This program is taught in English
This series of workshops focus on Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga through the key principles underlying this method of yoga practice. We will look at the role of traditional vinyasa count, bandha, breath, and drishti in more detail. We will then link these elements together to explore the unity of inner and outer, gross and subtle, in the flow of asanas.
While Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga is frequently perceived as physically very challenging, Marija and Ena will help students introduce softness in the practice. They will work on developing the awareness of foundation and the flow of breath in order to help students develop inner stillness, deep presence, and greater awareness of prana throughout the practice.
The workshops are conceived to provide students with the tools to deepen their practice through inner exploration and thus open the space for the development of self-practice.

Unfolding the Twists - (inscription)
Students often find the few twists in Ashtanga Vinyasa series very challenging. In this class, we work with an adapted sequence offering more gentle spinal twists, to build an understanding of how different parts of the spine move, and what role bandhas and ujjayi have in creating safe and effective spinal movement. We then apply this knowledge to the existing twists within the Ashtanga Vinyasa series. |

May 21: "Unfolding the Twists" Registration
Style: Ashtanga workshops
Ashtanga vinyasa is a hatha yoga practice transmitted to Pattabhi Jois from the great yoga master Krishnamacharya. It is for students seeking an invigorating approach that purifies, stimulates and energizes. It consists of postures practiced in a fluid rhythm with a concentrated breath, steady gaze, and internal contractions to direct vital energy. Due to the dynamic nature of this practice, one feels completely energized and purified in each cell of the body and also in the mind. Go to the Ashtanga workshops page.
