Ashtanga Yoga - Full counted Primary class at

Sundays 11:00am with Tim
Thursdays 6:15pm with Andrea and Tim

Ashtanga Yoga is a style of yoga asana created by K. Pattabhi Jois, often promoted as a modern-day form of classical Indian yoga.

This class will be exploring the Primary Series in Ashtanga. The Primary Series is a sequence of 41 asana linked with a vinyasa. This is a set sequence and so it helps you monitor your progress over a period of time.

This style of practices focuses on strength and mobility, linking in the breath throughout.

This class is a challenging class; however, beginners are welcome as variations are given to suit all levels.

A little focus on the Intermediate series Padma Bakasana arm balance today after playing with other inversions such as handstands and forearm stands during ‘Ashtanga Techniques’ class at .

In the Ashtanga Yoga system, Padma Bakasana appears in the Intermediate Series (Nadi Shodhana) and is a natural progression from earlier lotus based and arm balance postures. By the time practitioners reach this pose, they would have already developed the necessary hip opening from repeated Padmasana work in the Primary Series, as well as arm and core strength from vinyasas and earlier balances such as Bakasana. Padma Bakasana is a good of example of how the Intermediate Series helps refine strength, balance and energetic control, particularly the bandhas, while also demanding steadiness of breath and concentration. Rather than being treated as an isolated peak pose (such as Kapotasana or Dwe Pada Sirsasana), it fits organically into the Ashtanga sequence as part of a continuous flowing practice that integrates flexibility, strength and focus.

Come practice this posture in focus and many more with me on Sundays at 6:00pm, book here:

Sirsasana (headstand) is an asana from the closing sequence which is included in all of the Ashtanga Yoga Vinyasa series. There are actually 8 variations of headstand in the Ashtanga Yoga Intermediate sequence. Headstand is a steady, grounding inversion that builds strength, balance, and focus. Practiced regularly, it helps improve circulation, strengthening the shoulders, arms and core whilst also cultivating mental clarity and calming down the nervous system. Turning the body upside down encourages focus, presence, confidence, control and a steady breath.

How to Enter a basic headstand:
Start kneeling. Interlace your fingers and place your forearms on the mat, elbows shoulder width apart. Rest the crown of the head lightly on the mat, supported by the hands. Lift the hips, walk the feet in shifting your hips above your shoulders, engage the core and draw the knees toward the chest with a slight tuck of the tail bone. With control, extend the legs upward, maintaining steady breath and strong shoulders. You can practice this against a wall if you want to feel more confident and supported.

For a more advanced variation interlace the fingers whilst clasping the hands together crossing thumbs, then support your weight between your forearms instead of in the palms of your hands.

Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga - flow and maybe get inverted with me at studio each Wednesday at 9:30am

In the Ashtanga sequence, ‘Triangle Pose’ or ‘Trikonasana’ introduces us to geometry in the standing sequence. The word trikona comes from Sanskrit, with tri meaning three and kona meaning angle. The posture is a representation of a physical triangle, three clear points creating stability and angular direction. The feet establish the base, the arms extend the lines of energy outwards almost showing how the shape could fit into a square. Pressing out through both feet, extending out through both arms and the crown of the head we are literally expanding in 5 directions.

When we move into ‘Revolved Triangle’ Parivrtta Trikonasana, the geometry evolves. The original triangle is still present, but now it is rotated and deepened through the twist. With the arm placement on the little toe outside the front foot, the shape becomes three dimensional, more like a pyramid than a flat triangle.

If you notice, in this video I am entering the posture using a non standard technique which I learnt from , where you square off your torso over the front leg, extend forward leading with your chin and chest and then at the end of the extension rotating the chest to the side as the arms expand downwards and upwards.l completing the posture.

Come practice this posture and others from the Ashtanga Yoga sequencies at

Ashtanga Yoga at

Tuesdays 6:50-7:50pm

44-46 King Street,
Knutsford,
Cheshire,
WA16 6DT.

Join me at Satya Sanctuary every Tuesday at 6:50pm for Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga.

This class follows the traditional Ashtanga method, building strength, flexibility and focus through a steady, breath led yoga practice.

We work with Surya Namaskar B as demonstrated in the video accompanying this post, this is a dynamic sequence designed to generate heat and rhythm in the body as we flow with our breath. Surya Namaskar B includes deeper postures such as Fierce/Chair Pose and Warrior I, linking movement with Ujjayi breath. The sequence strengthens the legs and core, mobilises the spine and shoulders and helps cultivate stamina, focus and mental clarity.

Suitable for all experience levels, including beginners who enjoy a structured, flowing practice with an element of challenge.

I look forward to practicing with you.

Attended a wonderful Ashtanga Yoga Full Primary and Intermediate series morning workshop followed by Pranayama and meditation with this morning.

We had a deep exploration of bandha, looking at what bandha truly is, how it was traditionally taught and how its application is energetic and supported on a muscular level.

This was followed by various pranayama practices and techniques, closing with a grounding meditation.

Thank you, Donna 🙏❤️

Utthita Parvakonasana (Extended Side Angle)

Utthita Parvakonasana is a strong standing posture that builds stability, flexibility and focus. It strengthens the legs and hips, opens the side body and chest and encourages steady, grounded breathing. This asana supports balance and cultivates a sense of length and ease within strength as you focus on your breath.

How to Enter side angle pose:

From a wide stance, turn the front foot out 90 degrees and the back foot in 45 degrees and bend the front knee to a right angle. Ground through the back foot picking up the inner ankle and extend the back leg strongly pressing into the little toe side of the foot. Place the front forearm on the thigh or hand to the floor or a block. Create a long diagonal line on the extended side of the body, looking up towards the top hand which is rotating to face behind you activating into the lats. Energetically pick up the side core of the body which is closed to your thigh.

Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga - practice Utthita Parvakonasana and flow with me at studio each Wednesday at 9:30am
