In the Intro Class, you will learn the fundamental principles of Ashtanga Yoga and the Mysore method and gain a solid foundation to build your practice on.
Ashtanga Yoga is a traditional and dynamic method of yoga in which breath and movement are combined in a flowing, focused and meditative practice. We teach you the connection between breath and movement and guide you step by step through the fundamental elements.
You will learn breathing, focus, movement, coordination, form and stability. The teaching is adapted to your individual needs and abilities. It is not about how flexible or strong you are, but about learning to move with awareness and allowing your practice to develop gradually over time.
You will learn a simple sequence that forms the foundation for your own practice. From there, you can continue in our Mysore classes, where you will gradually learn more of the Ashtanga Yoga postures. Each new posture is introduced individually, at a pace and in a form that suits you.
No previous yoga experience is necessary. Whether you are completely new to yoga or already have experience with other styles, the Intro Class will give you a solid foundation for developing your own Ashtanga Yoga practice.
