About this Event
Free Ashtanga Yoga Workshop
with Miriam Menkin
Ashtanga Yoga is a style of yoga from the original Hatha Yoga system. Ashtanga yoga was developed by Indian yogiK. Pattabhi Jois, who systematized and established the method in the mid-20th century, beginning with his Ashtanga Yoga Research Institute in 1948 in Mysore, India. An Ashtanga yoga practice is built around a progressive series of set sequences, each more advanced than the last. The practice has a structured beginning, middle, and end.
Learn the history of the practice, unique breath work, dive deeper into the 8 Limb path of Patanjali, unnderstanding its foundational purpose and philosophical roots can be valuable for learners of all levels, particularly those seeking inner peace and spiritual growth.
Once we have covered these fundamentals, we will apply these philosophies and practical tools on the mat, practicing the Ashtanga sequence. We will start with sun salutations and move on to standing poses, seated poses and finishing poses.
Lastly, we will share and connect with one another our observations, feelings and ideas about what we’ve covered and experienced about Ashtanga.
