Courses

The courses below are designed to give you a solid foundation on which to build and refine an Ashtanga Therapy Yoga self practice. This will enable you to practice safely and smoothly by yourself, whether in a group, home alone, or travelling. It also teaches you self sufficiency so that you are independently learning. Constantly building on your practice with the guidance of a highly experienced teacher, with the depth of detail rarely touched on in regular classes. At the end of both courses, you will have solid foundations of a self-practice. Even if you already practice, it will be deeply transformational as you’ll learn how to make your practice more sustainable and appropriate for your current level and know how to adapt when life’s changes and limitations inevitably occur. Your practice will be more refined, body friendly and overall more beneficial to your energy levels, mind and spiritual growth.

This course will give you the foundations of Ashtanga Therapy Yoga from the beginning. It will provide you with the tools for creating a balanced and therapeutic self-practice, whether you have injuries or whatever age, size or level you are. We will go over the fundamentals of the movements and breath as well as postures, to build a foundational sequence which you will be able to do alone or in a group once the course has finished. If you already practice, this will course will give you the foundations of a therapeutic practice which you can use to enhance your existing yoga practice or do as a stand alone practice when you are short of time or energy or to rehabilitate towards a fuller Ashtanga yoga practice.
