Ashtanga Yoga Foundations is a guided and abridged version of the Ashtanga Yoga primary series. Using breath, bandhas (energy locks), and drishti (focal points), you’ll move through sun salutations, standing postures, seated postures, and inversions. Modifications are offered and encouraged. Ashtanga Yoga is the foundation of vinyasa-style classes and a traditional system of yoga passed down from Krishnamacharya to his students and Pattabhi Jois, who taught with his family in Mysore, India and around the world for over 70 years.
Private Yoga Lessons Available
I also offer private yoga lessons on Zoom, so contact me and we’ll set up a time for a private yoga lesson.
