If you practice regularly with intension to slowly master what is given, by the end of this course you can have a strong home based Short Form Ashtanga Yoga Practice. Please know that this practice can be tailored to Any Body, Any Age, Any Ability.
Dive freely into fresh waters!
While this yoga practice builds as we go, every breathing-movement is, in and of itself, an opportunity to heal and free your body-mind from suffering.
This course is not an exercise program, although, if you practice often you will unleash your strength and flexibility.
Ashtanga Yoga is a spiritual practice meant to first, reveal the afflictions of the body-mind. It is in this revelation that we can begin to respond to life from a curious and sensitive foundation of spacious awareness.
The freedom from suffering comes slowly as awareness begins to infuse all aspects of mind. It is a practice in being what you are doing.
Being genuine.
