About: Ashtanga vinyasa yoga is a dynamic, challenging, sequential asana (posture) based practice of yoga that combines the principles of Patanjali’s eight limbs and T Krishnamacharya and K Pattabhi Jois’s development of linking movements together. The class is an introduction to the primary series - led through the standing postures up to the first few seated postures. The postures can be modified or adapted to suit all abilities. Benefits of the class: ● Learn breath control ● Build strength ● Focus the mind Testimonials: ”Tom, I really enjoyed the course and thought you were very thoughtful in how you taught us the sequences and very supportive! Thank you! It felt very accessible as a beginner. I think Ashtanga can have a reputation as being quite vigorous but you made it feel nourishing. I am inspired to do more!"
