Lighting the Fire Within

“Agni” is often described as an internal fire...so how do I “stoke” this internal fire that people speak of?  Why would I ever want to sweat in my yoga practice? During this 3 week series we will learn tools that can help us move deeper into the foundation of Ashtanga Yoga and lighting our internal fire. This series is suitable for anyone curious about the Ashtanga Yoga method, or would like to deepen their existing yoga practice. Variations will be offered allowing everyone to practice in a manner that will benefit their body and their personal practice.  

Please bring a journal and towel every week(you will sweat - remember, Agni means fire ☺).  

Week 1 - Deepening your practice through posture integrated with breath, and gaze. Where the breath goes, the mind follows. This first week we will dive into what the Tristana method is, and using our posture, breath, and gaze to bring mindfulness into our practice.

Week 2 - Leaning into your forward fold through the use of the bandhas. This week we will explore the concept of the bandhas.  What the benefits and uses of the bandhas are and how can we find them in our practice.  

Week 3 - Unfolding the 8 Limbed Path - What is the 8 Limbed Path and how can the practice guide us towards it?  The dedicated practice of yoga has the potential to unclutter the mind, helping us to see & accept that which we cannot change, but sparking inspiration and motivation to be the change that we wish to see. We will explore the building blocks of some of the more challenging postures of the series in this week.

“Ashtanga practice is a breathing practice...the rest is just bending” ~ Sri. K Pattabhi Jois.
