Ashtanga Yoga and Adjustments

Students will develop a strong practice of Ashtanga Yoga while you study how to adjust each of these postures. Students will learn The Primary Series through a series of Ashtanga Yoga Led Classes and Self-Practices on alternate mornings. The daily Adjustments Workshop will provide the opportunity to learn and practice your alignment and adjustments on each other. Students will then adjust peers in selected morning practices. The adjustments of some popular Vinyasa Flow postures will also be explored.

Vinyasa Flow

Vinyasa Flow allows the body to move fluidly with the breath, flowing continuity from posture to posture. On alternate days, you will be taken on a physical and spiritual journey to achieve a challenging peak posture. The classes will demonstrate our sequencing framework which will then be further explored in Teaching Methodology where you will sequence your own classes. These classes aim to be an example of contemporary yoga as taught in studios today. Classes will incorporate dynamic stretches, myofascial release techniques and functional movement to compliment traditional alignment that will be acquired through knowledge of the Primary Series.

Yin Yoga

The Yin Classes will be happening every other day and takes you on a journey of stillness and mindfulness, offering a contrast to the yang nature of daily life. The Class is about deep, blissful poses that target your inner tissues. Teachers learn to guide students in creating a sacred space for this meditative practice. We explore anatomy, energy flow, and the power of mindfulness. The Yin class offers therapeutic benefits like flexibility and stress reduction. It’s a transformative experience that spreads good vibes.

Technical Workshops
