Challenge your strength, endurance, flexibility and agility through an introduction of Ashtanga Primary Series for beginners and beyond.

There will be a short discussion followed by a steady guided practice through the standing postures. Then we will mindfully practice through the Primary Series (seated) with interruptions to explore modifications for every level. We will NOT spend a lot of time on the closing/inversions in this workshop. Recommended to have 6 months vinyasa experience or able to perform sun salutations without trouble.
