Sufficient strength, stamina and flexibility are developed to move into inversions, backbends and handstands that are introduced at this level. This level is for the advanced practitioner who is looking for a more challenging and dynamic yoga practice. This introduction is also offered one weekend a month for your convenience. We highly recommend that you take these foundation courses when you begin your Hatha and Ashtanga practice at 7th Heaven. The emphasis in these classes is on alignment and form, covering in detail the core asanas as well as yogic breath.
Students develop greater flexibility and body awareness.
The practice is synchronized with careful attention to breathing to build internal heat. Mysore is a self-paced class with individualized instruction and adjustments and is open to all levels. Ashtanga Vinyasa is a challenging, guided class based on the Primary Series. Ashtanga Focus is for students who are comfortable with the Primary Series and are seeking more in-depth instruction to help solidify their practice. Full Primary Series classes follow the traditional sequence of the Ashtanga Primary series.
