A Quick Overview of the Ashtanga Primary Series

There are six different series in the Ashtanga Yoga discipline: Primary, Intermediate, and the four Advanced series. Each series builds upon the last and progresses to more difficult poses.

The Ashtanga Primary Series consists of the same poses you typically see in most typical Vinyasa flow classes. The difference is that you will do these poses in the same set sequence each time as a way to strengthen and detoxify the body and also cultivate a deeper sense of focus for the mind.

 
 

Start Your Introduction to Ashtanga With This Ashtanga Standing Series Class

You will work with the breath, the bandhas, and drishti (or point of focus) to build balance, coordination and strength.

This class is a short and sweet introduction to the Primary Standing Series, so note that the poses won’t be held for the full count and flows won’t be repeated for the traditional amount of times.
