The fundamentals of Ashtanga Yoga
In Ashtanga Yoga, you learn to move with the breath in a deeply concentrated state as a dynamic and meditative yoga practice.
You learn a set sequence that you will be encouraged and inspired to practice a few times per week.
After a short while of practicing, this becomes a moving meditation, as you do not need to think while you practice, and the attention can shift inward.
The true power lies in the repetition of the practice, as yoga is not a one-time miracle cure for anything. Yoga typically reveals its true powers with a regular practice.
In this course we cover the fundamentals of the practice:
– deep breathing
– tristhāna, the 3 places of attention
– concept of vinyāsa: breath and movement coordination
– finding deeper support muscles (bandhas)
– concentration techniques
– fundamental practice philosophy
– sun salutations
– easy standing sequence
– seated and finishing asanas
You will be able to start developing this as a self-practice method, and in our weekly classes.
With regular practice, the body begins to change.
You may notice that:
– your body feels more mobile and less stiff
– tension releases, and more energy, calm, and focus return
Many people describe it as feeling lighter and more alive… and maybe most important: more inspired!
Yoga Students Are Saying
“It helped me create structure in my days and improve my energy.”
-MATHIAS
“Alex’s Ashtanga classes give me a good boost. He explains the poses clearly and keeps the vibe relaxed.
The workouts are tough enough to feel progress but never too much. I also like how he listens to us, he offers easier or harder versions of each pose and has a safe option if your knees (or anything else) need extra care.”
-KIMMO

Focus: safe, structured, beginner-friendly teaching
When I started teaching in my late 20:ies, I was lucky that most of my students were about double my own age. I learned to adapt the teaching and the practice to all sorts of body types and different ages.
Having my fair share of knee pain and knee injuries as well, I just love to help all sorts of people finding the joy of the ashtanga practice, and helping developing an effective and safe practice.
