There are some people out there who vehemently oppose Ashtanga, it’s method and postures. They do so for a variety of reasons, and this week on the blog I’m making the case that it has nothing to do with Ashtanga.
You don’t have to do tick tocks, or kapotasana to feel like you’ve worked your ass off in your practice. This week we’re covering three “basic” Asanas, that when done correctly can challenge your practice and build strength.
I have started doing something that has seriously changed the game for my practice, and my life – daily self-massage or Abhyanga as it is called in Ayurveda.
In this article I’m sharing all about how Abhyanga can support not only your practice, but your health and how to do it.
You may not know this, but the Primary series of Ashtanga Yoga is called “Yoga Chikitsa” in Sanskrit which means, “Yoga Therapy.” In this post we’re going to discuss why it’s so important to practice primary series correctly, under the guidance of a qualified teacher.
