Mike is teaching an Intro to Ashtanga Yoga workshop, a dynamic yoga practice that you can learn to adapt to you!

Starts Friday Jan 16 530pm-730pm,
and runs Sat / Sun morning from 9am-11am

This workshop will cover half the first series, “Yoga chikitsā”, which translates to “Yoga Healing” - more than enough to keep you busy for a few years!

What’s more unique to this style is the emphasis on breath control within a movement practice, and moments of stillness and meditative gazing within challenging postures.

You’ll learn the foundations of standing poses, Sun salutations, upper body strength and core for arm balances, and hip opening.

Breathing —it’s happening all the time, it sustains us, effects our energy levels, moods and thoughts. Pranayama is the yogic science of learning to effect these processes through controlling the breath!

Explore the art of Breath Control (Pranayama) through a modern lens in this two part series the starts this Wednesday at 5.30pm-7.00pm (EST) – join in studio or online with Michael Dynie Yoga

https://astangaottawa.com/workshops/tantra/

You’ll be instructed in the Pranayamas taught in the Hatha Yoga Pradipika in a systematic way, grounded in respiratory science.

From a modern perspective, when pranayama is approached properly our tissues absorb more oxygen, stress and anxiety are reduced, our actions are more energy efficient, and we may experience clarity of thought.

This is the result of nasal breathing and building CO2 tolerance — not by breathing more, but breathing slower and breathing less. The benefits of optimized breathing mechanics gradually trickle their way everyday life activities and other forms of exercise, especially Vinyasa yoga!
