ASHTANGA IMPROVERS
To assist continuation into the full primary series the practice is broken down into 5 weeks.
Of course - you won't be expected to get into these challenging postures in just a few weeks so suitable modifications of the full posture are given throughout. After each 5 week schedule you will discover little improvements within your practice. As you continue on this schedule you will notice vast improvements in your practice.
1: Instructional Ashtanga Practice to Navasana - Finishing Postures.
2: Instructional Ashtanga practice Navasana to setu bandhasana - Finishing Postures.
Modifications are given for all postures
3: Full Practice - Instructed
4: Self Practice - one to one instruction.
Self practice gives you the space to focus. The cue to move on to the next posture comes from your own breath, instead of a my instructions. You can therefore spend a little longer working at your own pace on something you find challenging. In effect, you become your own teacher. If there is something you are unable to do, then I will suggest an easier version.
