workshop: INTRODUCTION TO ASHTANGA YOGA
Ashtanga Yoga is known for it’s dynamic, flowing sequence that emphasises connection of breath and movement. It can become a beautiful moving meditation, but might also feel quite intimidating when you first join the class. The course will introduce you to both theoretical and practical aspects of Ashtanga Yoga. It will provide a solid foundation for those who want to start or who already attended some classes, but would like to learn more about the method.
Among other topics we will cover:
- the main techniques we use in Ashtanga Yoga, including the ujjayi breath;
- how to connect your breath and movement into flowing vinyasas;
- the structure of the Ashtanga Yoga sequence and why we do it this way;
- how to develop your own Ashtanga Yoga practice to be able to join Mysore classes or practice at home;
- the goal of yoga and it’s basic philosophy.
After the workshop you will be able to join all the regular Ashtanga classes with good foundation and confidence. I encourage you to combine the workshop with the evening Ashtanga Led I class to directly apply your knowledge in practice.
I strongly recommend this workshop to all new students at Ashtanga Yoga Luzern. You don’t have to start with the workshop – you can also join it after already coming to some regular classes.

workshop: IMPROVING YOUR HEALTH THROUGH YOGA AND AYURVEDA
Ashtanga yoga Primary Series is called “Yoga Therapy” (Yoga Chikitsa) for a reason – apart from stretching and strengthening the muscles, the sequence is also meant to heal all the systems of our bodies and to remove toxins from different organs. In this workshop we will talk about the therapeutic aspect of the First Series and I will explain you how the asanas help us keep our bodies in good health. We will pay attention to the alignment in therapeutic poses and techniques that help us get the most out of them.
In the second part of the workshop I will introduce you to some basic concepts of Ayurveda – the so called “sister science of yoga”. I will share with you how introducing small diet and lifestyle changes can facilitate the process of healing and balancing your body.
