Workshops
workshop: INTRODUCTION TO ASHTANGA YOGA
The workshop will be an introduction 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.
In the first part of the workshop I will explain the origins of the practice, its basic rules, philosophy and how to integrate yoga into your daily life. In the practical part we will have a closer look at the three main techniques – the ujjayi breath, asana and drishti. We will work on the beginning of Primary Series, which is the first and the most therapeutic sequence of the Ashtanga Yoga system, paying extra attention to the alignment of the asanas. Apart from the poses, you will learn how to connect the breath, the movement, and the point of focus so that your practice will not only develop strength and flexibility, but also focus and the feeling of internal peace.
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: CREATING YOUR OWN ASHTANGA PRACTICE
Ashtanga Yoga is well-known for its standardised form and fixed sequences. In an ideal world we would all have two hours a day to do the whole program, and we would always be fit and able to perform all the poses. In real life we sometimes have to make compromises as we try to fit yoga practice into our busy schedules. There are also times when we have to modify the traditional sequence to accommodate our body type, energy level or injuries.
In this workshop we will explore how to adjust the practice to our specific needs. I will address questions around modifying asanas, adding preparations and the underlying logic of Ashtanga. I will also share with you ways to shorten your yoga practice for days when you don’t have enough time to do the whole sequence and we will try out such abbreviated version of the Ashtanga practice.
