THE PHILOSOPHY:
Yoga postures are one part of a yoga practice, but real yoga doesn’t end when we step off the mat. So how do we continue to consciously practice yoga throughout our life experiences and relationships?
This group discussion of the Yamas and Niyamas explores the ethical practices and disciplines of a yogi, and how we might embody them while navigating the daily flow of life in this modern world.
THE LED PRIMARY PRACTICE:
Ashtanga is a flowing vinyasa yoga practice linking breath, movement and concentration to build a deep internal heat and meditative focus, stretching and strengthening both body and mind.
Please note, this is a dynamic and physically challenging practice. Adaptations are offered to support a wide range of practitioners, but the Sunday Led Primary class is not recommended for those brand new to yoga or experiencing limited mobility. (Our weekday Mysore Ashtanga Yoga classes in Traverse City and Guided Ashtanga in Leland are more suitable for everyone who would like to begin an Ashtanga Yoga practice with no experience necessary)
