Intro to Ashtanga Yoga and Meditation (Ashtanga 101)

I’m an avid ashtanga yoga practicioner with about 10 years of various yoga under my belt. I’ve been asked a bunch of times to do a basics class and I finally found a great space to do it.

I’m going to do two soft launch classes on 7/29 and 8/5.

This is going to be geared for people new to yoga. It will be a slow flow and we’ll go at the pace that the class participants need to learn to heal themselves.

Class description:

Hey everybody. 1st class in an awesome new space.

Am going to get the flow of it with two soft launch classes.

After which I’m going to do a 10 week introduction to yoga workshop that is going to be fantastic and geared towards introducing people to a gentle ashtanga flow, connection to breath and a few approaches to meditation.

So if you were looking for a class to learn the basics, have fun and start to incorporate a bit of yoga into your life…this is for you and the space is fantastic.

Check out the Yoga Society space online at www.yssf.com. I’m going to be doing a sliding scale donation to YSSF for the space of $10-20, nobody will be turned away for lack of funds.

Class breakdown
- breath awareness into warmup
- flow and form (standing and sitting)
- closing
- meditation and rest

Target is to end the class at 9:15-20 and let people wonder out as they come out of relaxation. (I know that 9:30 is pushing a bit late into the night).

Considerations before class:
- Try not to eat for an hour before class
- comfortable clothing for class and warm clothing for after class
- bring a towel
- Bring a mat if you have one. There are tons of mats and support equipment at YSSF
