What’s Ashtanga? COMING SUNDAYS!!
If you’ve done our vinyasa classes, you’re used to a structured flow: warm-up → build-up → peak posture → cool-down. But Ashtanga is a different beast.
Here’s what makes Ashtanga stand out:
Same sequence every time. Every class you do the same Primary Series (26 postures or so, depending on tradition). You’ll get familiar with it, see subtle shifts, and deepen through repetition.
It starts with breath, not movement. Ashtanga begins with ujjayi breath + bandha engagement, warming the system internally before diving into the first posture.
You go right into an advanced posture. Rather than easing in, you challenge your system immediately — hold, breathe, reset. Then move on.
Strength in stillness. Rather than constantly flowing, you hold postures for multiple breaths (often 5 breaths) before transitioning. That tension + breath = strength + mental focus.
Built-in progression. Because it’s the same set each class, you measure progress in how deep, stable, and aligned you become over time.
We’re offering this class Sundays in the hot room, led by Ralph — a respected yogi and massage therapist known for his scientific, grounded approach to the body and movement.
If you’re looking to build strength, sharpen focus, and challenge yourself in a new way, this class is it.
