Ashtanga Yoga - A vinyasa flow class

This is a good introductory class for Ashtanga, you will need some vinyasa experience as it is a faster pace with plenty of time on the hands and wrists. If you have any wrist injuries or arthritis then this class may not be suitable due to the amount of time we spend on our hands during the sun salutations.

This class starts with an opening mantra followed by 8 sun salutations and then moves onto a series of standing postures, finishing with the closing sequence and closing mantra. This class works on a rota as it is impossible to cover the entire primary series within one hour of practise. We do standing sequence one week then half standing and half floor sequence the next week and the third week we do a floor sequence. Due to Ashtanga being quite rigid and strict I have developed my own friendlier floor sequence for the modern body as some of the traditional seated poses are not safe to do just once a week without personal tuition which we don’t have time for in a regular guided weekly class.
