Description:
The primary series of Ashtanga yoga is a precise sequence of postures, linked together in the vinyasa style (Flow). As well as the postures, it includes a specific breathing technique (ujjayi) , use of bandhas (Locks- specific muscular engagements) , drishti (gaze points) and coordinated movement with the breath. The Primary Series is one of the 6 series of the Ashtanga Yoga System. It offers a full body conditioning and release.
The series is longer and takes time to learn. We will use the first month to break it down in sections and refine the individual postures. The next month we will practice the full flow.
Modifications and variations will be given for all levels.
