Practice begins with this breath, to relax and focus and closes your practice to help the body and mind integrate your work. (All levels. Beginners welcome. No experience necessary.)

Ashtanga Mix

​

Ashtanga Mix combines breath and movement in a specific way designed to create internal heat and purifying sweat. Students are guided together through a breath balanced sequence of classic yoga postures emphasizing holding and proper alignment. Classes all begin with sun salutations, followed by standing and seated postures with forward bending, back bending and twists, or a combination of all, and end with a closing sequence, followed by shavasana.

Though Ashtanga is not an advanced practice, it is physically challenging. These classes are suitable for all levels as all postures will offer options and modifications. Perfect for students in search of a classic practice with a more physical challenge.
