Let's get high on prana (life energy), and leave in a state of yoga bliss!
This fun and action-packed class begins with an in-depth talk about the fourth limb of Ashtanga Yoga: PRANAYAMA. Whether you are in a heated or non-heated class environment, breath focus will help you find more peace and joy in the moment, leading to a life-long yoga practice!
The Ashtanga-inspired practice of this workshop will take you through a journey of sun salutations, standing postures, forward bends, hip-openers, backbends/heart-openers, balancing, and inverted yoga poses of First, Second and Advanced Series. We will end the class with a guided complete sequence of breath and retentions of the Original Ashtanga Pranayama sequence that Sri K Pattabhi Jois taught to David Williams, who taught to Ricky.
This practice is appropriate for those with some experience. For best results, arrive on an empty stomach, bladder and colon. There will be at least 30 minutes of seated practice at the end of class. You may use a meditation cushion or seated props for comfort.
