Embodied Ashtanga with Staisha

This Ashtanga Yoga class offers insights to finding alignment within the postures that suits each individuals physiology and gives the practitioner plenty of time to transition between poses.

The practice begins with the standing postures of primary series before moving into the the seated practice. Transitions between seated postures is always optional and alternative methods for developing the strength necessary to move towards a practice that includes theses transitions will be offered.

This class is suitable for all levels of practice. While having some previous yoga experience is helpful the emphasis of this practice is not primarily on the physical aspects but on cultivating a relationship to our body and nervous system in a compassionate and non-judgmental way. We learn to approach the practice from a place of wise intention, and present moment awareness of breath and body as we move through the asanas.
