Are you interested in Ashtanga Yoga but not sure where to start? 

Are you inspired by the idea of a regular practice within a welcoming community, where you receive individualised help and attention to allow you to learn properly, progress steadily and build healthy habits?

This Ashtanga for Beginners workshop is designed for anyone new to ashtanga yoga, curious to learn and wondering how to begin. Split into two sessions over one weekend, think of it as an intensive introductory course, after which you will feel confident to get stuck into our regular classes.

Course Content:

  • An introduction to the practice – its origins, methodology and philosophy .
  • An in-depth breakdown and practice of the beginning/ key postures of the sequence, including modified options
  • An explanation and exploration of the breathing technique used throughout.
  • Guidance regarding which classes to take, how they work and what to expect

 

The workshop content will be distributed over the two sessions roughly as follows, although there will be some crossover:

  • Day 1: Introduction, Breathing Technique, Sun Salutations, Relaxation
  • Day 2: Standing Sequence, Finishing Sequence, Opening and Closing Chants, Relaxation

 

Enrolment in the whole workshop is preferable, but individual sessions are possible too.

*However if you are new to Ashtanga you cannot attend the second without having done the first!*

You will complete the workshop ready to enrol in our regular programme of classes and embark on your ashtanga journey! To encourage you further we are offering our introductory monthly unlimited class pass at half price to everyone who completes the weekend workshop!

Suitable for absolutely anyone new to (or revisiting) the practice
