Star Valley Yoga

This class is an introduction to Ashtanga Yoga for complete beginners. We will introduce the opening and closing chants, and review the history of Ashtanga and its progression to today. Starting with the opening series we will synchronize the breath with movement and, if time allows, explore a few peak postures in the primary series. Class will end with the closing series and stillness of mind and body in meditation.

What is Ashtanga Yoga? Ashtanga Yoga is a holistic system combining the eight limbs of yoga with a dynamic, structured physical practice that promotes strength, flexibility, mental clarity, and spiritual growth.
