How to Begin Ashtanga Yoga

Join me for a 2 day event!

Saturday 11/1 and Sunday 11/2

1-4pm

What You’ll Learn

A simple, adaptable structure

Discover Ashtanga’s four building blocks:

• Sun Salutations
• Standing Poses
• Seated Postures
• Finishing Poses

A template you can adapt to your body, goals, and lifestyle — giving you the confidence to practice at home or in class without feeling lost or pressured to match anyone else’s pace.

How to build each asana with skill

Break down core poses, safe alignment, smart modifications, and discover othe art of transitions.

Learn why each posture matters, how Samasthiti underpins the whole practice, and how to move with strength, intention, and freedom.

All you need to bring is a yoga mat and curiosity to explore.
