Welcome to the first class of our Ashtanga Primary Series program. Follow the program and sign up to our email reminders to keep you on track with your practice. In this class you'll be introduced to the postures at the beginning of the Primary Series. We will work through a few Surya Namaskar As and Bs, some modified standing postures, and the first few seated postures. The easy jumpback option will also be offered.

Allison sings the opening and closing chant in every class. If you'd like to join her, here are the words:
