Mantra in Motion | Intro to Ashtanga w. Mindy Sisco
Schedule
Mon May 29 2023 at 06:45 pm to Tue May 30 2023 at 08:30 pm
Location
Mandala Wellness | Ho Chi Minh City, HC
In today’s warp-speed world, we are always on the move. The Ashtanga sequence is fixed- the postures and sequence don’t change. This makes it perfect to take with you anywhere in the world or even at home with an emphasis on self-practice built into the practice. That said, I know I saw legs behind the head as part of this series and it scared me away for years. After ACL surgery, I did my own rehab at home using only the (extremely modified) Ashtanga Primary Series. This forever informed my approach to Ashtanga. The fixed sequence is great to see linear progress and I could focus on the sensation of the posture versus following choreography.
It is my ethos to bring the practice to the practitioner rather than the other way around with props, progressive pose preps and hands-on adjustments rooted in student-teacher teamwork rather than forcing shapes.
The series builds in difficulty towards the middle. In this workshop, you will:
1) set the proper foundation in the Sun Salutations and standing postures according to you current needs and movement patterns;
2) you will understand the thread of the preliminary postures that specifically prepare for two postures in focus: Monday- headstand; Tuesday- hip opening towards Janusirsasana C.
You will learn how to edit other postures in the series with props, etc, to extract the most benefit towards moving forward in the series.
PLEASE: bring your own blocks if possible ??
This workshop is for everyone! If you’re new to yoga, this is a great place to set stable building blocks. If you are currently experiencing physical restrictions or pain, I encourage you to join and learn how to make the practice accessible and beneficial to you. (Please talk with Mindy about these current issues.) Movement is medicine!
