You will learn how to adapt the Ashtanga Yoga practice to different levels of experience and what each students brings to the practice. We will study how to give variations of the asanas to each individual’s needs and circumstances.

 

 

One of the main focuses in the training will be to provide safe and supporting adjustment according to the individual level of the student. We will explore in depth and detail hands on adjustments on each other and explore different variations for all Asanas of the Primary Series.
