💯 don't knock the foundational poses, they're invaluable

Everything counts. There is no easy out in the practice. We cannot skip over foundational strength and alignment in “boring” poses and expect to succeed in more “cool” poses.

So much “advanced” training is done in Downward Dog. From handstand to backbend and arm balances to forward folds, it’s all right here if you look for it.

So much of our practice is about developing the ability to see through the layers of our own delusion and reveal the truth of what is. If we can learn to see the work that starts from the first breath, then the whole path opens for us.

Keep practicing 🙏

NEW CLASS ALERT: Ashtanga Essentials led by Sheila every Monday at 5:30pm beginning July 4th at our 290 location.

🧘‍♀️

Ashtanga Yoga is a traditional, vigorous practice made up of a series of postures linked with breath in a set sequence. Whether you’ve been practicing yoga for many years or a few months, you will find that adding Ashtanga to your practice will strengthen your mind and body, benefitting your overall health. 🕉

In this class, you will learn the Ashtanga Primary Series also known as “Yoga Chikitsa” meaning “Yoga Therapy.” Each week we will add on a new pose from Primary Series building up to the full sequence. On moon days, we will explore the Ashtanga Moon Sequence. 🌙

This Ashtanga Essentials class is not a beginner yoga class, but rather an introduction into the specific style and method of Ashtanga, which differs from other yoga styles. The room will be warm, not hot, but the practice will be physically demanding and require strength, endurance, and flexibility. Prior yoga experience is highly recommended.

Register for class online.
