The Ashtanga Vinyasa system is known for its jumping, floating and flying on the yoga mat.
Sri K Pattabhi Jois' teacher, Sri T Krishnamacharya would describe this type of practice "pumping and jumping". We will break down what it takes to float, fly and jump through the arms in this powerful vinyasa system. We will explore the idea of jumping into poses and exiting postures directly into a vinyasa. Expect some work with sun salutations, drills and exercises that can expose where you are getting stuck and how to move past them over time. Student must be able to perform sun salutations without trouble. We will also throw in bakasana (crow) and handstand for those who are able to fly.
