Ashtanga Primary Series

For 8 weeks you'll be guided you through each element of the Primary series, from Surya Namaskars A and B, the standing postures, the Warrior sequence, seated poses, the ‘tricky’ postures - right through to the final poses of the series. 

This is a physically challenging program which repeats sections to help you develop your stamina reasonably quickly and enable you to become familiar with the sequence. Each class builds on from the last, and you’ll be gradually introduced to new poses during each practice. At the end of the program, you’ll have the opportunity to put everything together in a flow, and can try out either the series in its entirety, or just the first or second parts.

We recommend that you repeat each class ​​a couple of times before moving on to the next. However, there's no expectation that you can do every pose before moving on to the next class. It can take years to progress through the Primary series and some variations of poses may suit your body better than others.

Who is it for?

This program is for you if you have a fairly regular, dynamic Vinyasa yoga practice and a reasonable base level of fitness. It builds up in intensity from level 2 to level 2/3. We encourage you to listen to your body, try out the modifications and alternatives Allison offers, and take rest whenever you need.
