Ashtanga Yoga Half Primary Series
203 Followers
For those who have never done ashtanga yoga or have only done Jeff's series of three beginner ashtanga yoga videos, this class is very challenging. It moves at a quick pace, flows through many advanced yoga poses and is meant for students who have previously practiced the half or full ashtanga yoga primary series. For those who have, this class, skillfully lead by Jeff Lichty, will help you move through the sequence without needing to remember what comes next.

I was looking for a refresher and inspiration to assist in my home Ashtanga practice and this was perfect. It was helpful to be reminded of the modifications that are available and I appreciated Jeff's explanation of the postures and relaxed teaching style. I'll definitely be coming back when I need that extra help. Thanks, Jeff and Deva!
As a working mom, I am never available for the Ashtanga classes scheduled at my local yoga studio. Thank you so much for offering these classes! Jeff's modifications are so helpful for someone new to Ashtanga and his gentle reminders make this class enjoyable. I hope to continue practicing with Jeff and one of these days, I will get that "gateway posture" :)
I am living in a new country and city with challenges of weather, distance from a good teacher and distance from my family, My previous teacher suggested that this was an opportunity for personal practise. I then saw your website suggested on a Yoga Facebook page. I find this class so kind, so accessible (though I admit I skip the vinyasa in-between the two sides of a pose so that I have more time to get into them and do one vinyasa at the end!) As you say David, it doesn't matter, you do what you ca,n, what's important is coming back to the breath. I am feeling stronger and more open physically but more importantly to me, mentally. Thank you.
Not ever practising this style, I did not know what to expect. Of course, I've heard things throughout the years about the difficulty and the militancy of the style. I have now done this class several times! The teaching is clear, the class a challenge, and I love trying something new to push my boundaries! David does such a skillful job at finding those that support the DYWM integrity. Thank you to David, Jeff and the whole team.
