Ashtanga Vinyasa: From Movement to Stillness 
Experience the power and depth of Ashtanga Vinyasa through a dynamic practice that blends elements of both the Primary and Intermediate Series. Rather than following the traditional sequence, this workshop draws from the Ashtanga method to explore strength, mobility, balance, backbending, and breath-centered movement in a challenging yet accessible format. Modifications and variations are offered throughout, so practitioners at different levels can work intelligently within their own practice. The session concludes with pranayama and meditation inspired by the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, inviting you to experience how focused movement and conscious breathing lead toward greater steadiness and clarity.
Intensity 7-8 – All levels (familiarity with Surya Namaskar recommended)
80% Asana, 10% Meditation, 10% Pranayama
