Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga is perhaps one of the most misunderstood styles in the yoga world even though so many other styles are influenced by it. The practice is more than just a sequence of postures. It is doing those postures while maintaining breath, bandha, and dristhi.
These Ashtanga Yoga workshops allow you to receive personalized, individual instruction for your practice while sharing the energy and inspiration of the group. The teacher holds the space for your growth in the practice of yoga.
In the “Mysore” method, the group of students each practice the series of postures they have learned, but at the pace of their own breath. The Mysore method provides the opportunity for individualized practice within a group setting, rather than a led or guided class where everyone is doing the same pose at the very same moment.
Even though we do not practice Mysore style in our studio, we want you to feel confident and prepared for classes when you're on the mat.
Join Cary Parsoneaoult for this series of workshops so you can gain the knowledge you need for a stronger practice, but not just physically, that comes with time, also mentally and spiritually.
The first in series will cover:
-Ashtanga Primary Series breakdown

This is a 3 hour workshop since it starts with a 75 minute practice and then on to lecture and practice as well as take-home handouts, sequence understanding and chant practice.
Imagine a very small Teacher Training style workshop that will set the foundations for the rest of the flow.
