COURSE DETAILS

Asana: Ashtanga Vinyasa, Hatha Yoga and Vinyasa

Asana classes will be twice daily, with Ashtanga Vinyasa being every day.

Ashtanga Yoga Primary series is a pre-set sequence of postures linked by the breath, focus point (Drishti) and bandhas. Hatha Yoga welcomes you to balance strength and flexibility with breath control. Vinyasa allows you to move from one pose to the next with synchronised breath.

Each class will develop your own personal practice as well as prepare you with the knowledge and understanding to go on to teach it yourself.

Throughout the course, you will have classes focused on alignment and adjustment techniques for foundational poses of standing, laying, seated, inverted etc. These classes provide you with the knowledge of modifications, advanced variations, appropriate use of props and hands-on adjustments practice.

These classes equip you to teach with safety and mindfulness while deepening your own practice.
