Weekend Workshops with Scott Johnson
Workshop 1 | Helpful Hip Movements of the Primary Series
Workshop 2 | Finding a Spacious Spine in the Primary & Intermediate Series

Workshop 1 | Helpful Hip Movements of the Primary Series
2-4pm Saturday 8 March 2025
The Primary Series is, at its core, an exploration of the body’s patterns. Among these, one of the most fundamental is the dynamic relationship between the hips and the flow of the asanas. When practicing with mindful awareness, we can uncover how the hip joint creates space and fluidity within the series, helping us move beyond the fixation on individual postures and into a deeper connection with the practice as a whole.
In this workshop, we will trace the journey of the hips through the Primary Series, from the asymmetrical poses of the first half to the symmetrical postures of the second half. Beginning with a short mindfulness and breathing practice this workshop will bring fresh insights and practical tools to create space and mobility in your practice, all while ensuring safety and vitality in the body.
This workshop is open to all levels of curious yoga practitioners.

Workshop 2 | Finding a Spacious Spine in the Primary & Intermediate Series
2-4pm Sunday 9 March 2025
The Primary and Intermediate Series offer us profound opportunities to explore the subtleties of spinal movement. With sensitivity, insight and awareness we can observe how the energy of the spine evolves as we move through the sequences.
Building on the work from the first workshop, this session will focus on cultivating a deeper awareness of the spine's role in both the Primary and Intermediate Series. Beginning with a short mindfulness and breathing practice we will explore how spinal movement develops in relation to the breath, connecting postures from the second half of the Primary Series to poses throughout Intermediate. We will reveal the continuity and intelligence of the practice.
This workshop is open to all yoga practitioners curious about deepening their understanding of the Ashtanga Vinyasa system.
