About this event

This workshop is part of a three-session journey through the Ashtanga Primary Series, explored through movement, breath and somatic awareness.

Many of its foundational asanas are also familiar from Vinyasa Yoga. By slowing down and exploring them individually, Vinyasa and Ashtanga practitioners can deepen their understanding of alignment, breathing and the connections between postures—insights that can be brought back into any movement practice.

No previous experience of Ashtanga or knowledge of the sequence is required. Each workshop can be attended independently and is open to Ashtanga and Vinyasa practitioners of all levels.

Session 1 — Standing Asanas: Finding Our Foundations
We begin with the traditional Opening Mantra and briefly explore its meaning, followed by an accessible introduction to the history of Ashtanga Yoga and its eight limbs: Yama, Niyama, Asana, Pranayama, Pratyahara, Dharana, Dhyana and Samadhi.

We then explore the Standing Sequence one posture at a time, with curiosity and attention to how different parts of the body organise, connect and support one another.

We pay particular attention to the relationship between the feet, pelvis and spine, investigating how to create stability without rigidity. Through somatic exploration and individual variations, you will have space to sense how each posture works in your own body rather than simply trying to reproduce a fixed shape.

We close with a gentle restorative practice and 15 minutes for questions and shared reflection.
