[Step-by-step] Ashtanga Yoga Beginners classes

It's a one hour online class of dynamic yoga for beginners. It's based on the ashtanga yoga primary series, offered with a step-by-step approach. It might be sweaty and it requires a non-slip (both sides) mat. This class demands a certain physicality that is going to require you to go up and down to the ground.

INTUITIVE ASHTANGA YOGA

It's based on the central components of ashtanga yoga, where students engage in a predictable series of physical forms and movements. 

Here, I use the buzzword "intuitive" to point out that the elements of ashtanga yoga are modified to maximize the experiences of self-agency, and to cultivate a more positive relationship to one's body. The scope of practice is building a dynamic self-practice, the ability to choose what to change, and the competence to evaluate options. The emphasis is not on the physical performance, nor in receiving the approval of an external authority. Rather, this class presents opportunities for participants to be in charge of themselves based on a felt sense of their own body. 

About Sara

As an ashtanga yoga teacher, I was born and raised in a trauma-informed environment, at Ashtanga Yoga Paris (RYS). I have taught full time since 2012 and my educational choices follow the yogic principles of non-harming and non-attachment to results. My approach is gradual.
I completed the TCTSY facilitator training in 2022, gaining more clarity on how I can engage to create safety for the participants and to create opportunities for self agency.
I acknowledge the inheritance of institutional abuses in the lineage of Ashtanga Yoga. I acknowledge that yoga industry is an unregulated profit-driven industry, prone to power abuses. Therefore I am committed to consider the power dynamics, the vulnerabilities, and the social oppressions at play; to share power; to be transparent about my training and my scope of practice. And to be explicit about my moral code.
