The Ashtanga Series
The purpose of asana (poses) is to help everything in your life and body to connect and work together smoothly.
Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga is a type of yoga where there is a memorized set of poses. Each pose prepares the body for the next one.
Students begin by learning a series of poses called Sunsalutes. You can learn those right away for free by using a YouTube playlist that Carol has.
After the Sunsalutes, there is a series of standing poses, then a series of seated poses, then a closing series.
Students learn (memorize) the practice over time. But the goal is not to collect poses; the goal is to unblock what is stuck in your body and your life each time you practice.
Where to Begin
Carol provides a simple-to-understand 2-part plan. You can immediately begin. There are free on-demand videos for you. Most are able to move through
Part 1--learning the first poses,-- pretty quickly.
There is no replacement for direct mentoring, but getting familiar on your own at first is encouraged.
---
Part 2 invites you to learn about your amazing mind and that you have the power to make new choices and change your life.
Based on ancient yogic technology about the human nervous system, study with us and create the life you wish to have.
How to Advance
Once you learn the Sunsalutes in part 1 from the on-demand videos, it is time to learn more poses bit by bit.
The best way to learn is in-person with a teacher who has studied and applied the practice in her own life.
Carol understands the challenges of scheduling time to go to a studio. And she understands the challenge of starting something unfamiliar.
That is why she is offering Zoom classes 4 mornings a week and one in-person slot in her schedule. For current times, click the button below.
When you are ready, Carol will be able to help customize a healing and growth path that fits who you are and what you need.
