Living Your Practice: Ashtanga Foundation Workshop

Dates: July 25-Aug 2, full days, register by July 1

Ashtanga Yoga practice both creates changes and asks us to make them. It's useful to have guidance about how to make lifestyle choices which are sustainable, worthwhile, and supportive of our ultimate goals. This workshop will help establish a firm foundation to experience the powerful and ever deeper aspects of yoga practice. We will learn Ayurvedic principles to balance ourselves, define our asana practice, and refine our speech through study of Sanskrit. Patanjali, whom we thank at the beginning of each practice, wrote extensively on each of these subjects, and this workshop seeks to integrate them into life and practice.

The breath, so central to yoga practice, is expressed through sound. The sounds of Sanskrit are elemental and pure, and create vibrations that help us to purify speech, body, and mind. When seen in this way, Sanskrit is an important key to the ultimate goal of yoga practice, the unification of body and mind through the breath.
Tristhana, the three important elements of Ashtanga Vinyasa, or breath, asana, and drishti, also correspond to these three purifications. In this course, we will learn the sounds of Sanskrit, how to use them to pronounce correctly and decipher the Ashtanga Mantras, counting, and asana names. The course is open to anyone.

The Primary Series is Yoga Chikitsa, or yoga therapy, to detoxify and align the body.
The first two classes will explore the fundamental asanas. This standing pose sequence contains the basic building blocks of Ashtanga Yoga practice: concentrating the mind and building movement from breath.
Building upon the skills developed in the fundamental asanas, the weekday classes will explore the seated postures, which heighten the detoxifying and purifying processes, thereby preparing the body to experience the higher states of yoga.

Ayurveda is a sister science to yoga. We will learn how to use the preventative methods of Ayurveda to strengthen our health according to individual constitution, imbalances, and daily and seasonal cycles.
Each day will begin with a lecture to illuminate the concepts underlying this science. The second session each day will be practical. On Saturday, we will learn abhyanga, the application of oil bath. (Sri K. Pattabhi Jois recommends that everyone do a weekly oil bath to release toxins and improve joint flexibility). On Sunday, we will learn to prepare a meal according to ayurvedic and yogic dietary principles.
