What is Ashtanga Viniyoga?

Ashtanga Viniyoga is a different approach to teaching traditional Ashtanga, aiming to be more inclusive. Viniyoga adapts yoga to the individual by modifying poses, with emphasis on function rather than form.

What can I expect in a class?

We set an intention and practice postures based on the Ashtanga primary series, taught one posture at a time and modified as applicable. The class also includes teaching breathing techniques that support the practice.
