Strength

This is an Ashtanga Yoga session exploring the traditional Ashtanga Primary One Series popularized by K. Pattabhi Jois. The sequence builds upon each previous postures and the practitioner only moves on through the sequence once each posture feels accomplished by the practitioner and ready to move forward. This session involves many movements through postures and much strength building for the mind, body, and spirit.
