Ashtanga 2

Building on the foundations is an important step when improving and key to progress whether you are a total newbie or a seasoned yogi. This class is an extension of the Level 1 class and a good stepping stone to Level 3. We guide you through the foundational postures of ashtanga yoga relevant to the element we are working on that term and add deeper aspects to consider. The focus is on technique and coordinating the correct breath with the postures with a little fun thrown in to keep things light. Suitable for those who are ready for a bit more of a challenge but still need or prefer to go at slower paced class with more instruction, demonstration and focus on the foundations.

Saturdays are sacred at Live and Breathe Yoga as we practice Mysore Style (self-practice at your own pace with teacher support). Therapeutic in nature as you get one to one attention and assistance and work at your own pace. Students must know the sequence they are working on beforehand. Private sessions are recommended or a term of guided classes beforehand for anyone who wants to join this class. The students are empowered to practice individually but with the collective presence of the group. We go for coffee afterwards!

Based on how this practice is taught in Mysore, India, this group, self-practice class has more verbal and hands-on assistance from the teachers who guide you on a one-to-one basis. You will be personally guided but have time to explore for yourself too. Each student gets the individual attention they need to develop their practice depending on their needs – like a private session but in a group setting. This class is suitable for pregnancy however please contact us first if you are pregnant or have not attended any of our classes beforehand to discuss.

These practices free the flow of prana (our inner reservoir of infinite vitality ) so it can flow freely within. Regular and sustained pranayama practice can supercharge the whole body.This Foundations Pranayama protocol will settle the nervous system helping to reduce the negative impacts of stress, improve cardiovascular and respiratory health and leave you feeling calm and clear. Suitable for all levels.

Slow and Steady

Imagine a delightful combination of steadiness and strength, where time slows down just enough for you to savor every moment. Enjoy a slower pace of flowing postures, as we dive deep into those tight spots in your body and allow the breath to bring the release we need.
