Well done, you've reached the final class of the program! Once again we'll keep our breath and movement flowing consistently as we work through the complete second half of the Primary series. We'll start the seated sequence with the 'tricky postures' and ride back down the other side of the Primary Series mountain together! Part of the Ashtanga Primary Series Program

In this class we will keep our breath and movement flowing at a consistent pace while we work through the complete first half of the Primary series. This class is a progression from the more instructional classes before it and will be a fun challenge as we climb the Primary Series mountain together. Part of the Ashtanga Primary Series Program

In this class we'll put everything together that we've learned so far and work our way through the complete Primary Series. Class 6 in the Ashtanga Primary Series Program

Once again we start with the Surya Namaskaras, all the standing postures and the Warrior sequence. By now, you might be feeling a little stronger and starting to anticipate what's coming next. You'll then be introduced to the last few postures of the Primary series - Baddha Konasana, Upvishta Konasana, Supta Konasana, Supta Padangusthasana, Ubaya Padangusthasana, Urdhva Mukha Paschimottasana and Setu Bandhasana. We will also add in the roll-through (Chakrasana Vinyasa) to complete our practice. Class 5 in the Ashtanga Primary Series Program

We start this class by revisiting the Surya Namaskars, standing postures and Warrior sequence. You'll then be introduced to the second half of the Primary Series, which Allison affectionately calls 'the tricky postures'. These are: Navasana, Bhujapidasana, Bakasana, Kurmasana, Supta Kurmasana, Garbha Pindasana and Kukkutasana. (As always, it's important not to push yourself beyond your limits so please take it gently with this class - and if you're not able to do all of the poses, just take a pause and marvel at Allison instead ;-)). This is class 4 in the Ashtanga Primary Series Program

In this class we will work through the entire first half of the Primary Series. This includes the Surya Namaskaras, all of the standing postures and the Warrior sequence. We will work up to the Marichyasana section and practice jumping back in between postures. You'll also be offered a rolling Vinyasa which you can try as an alternative to the jumpback. Class 3 in the Ashtanga Primary Series Program

This class builds on from the previous one. We will add a few more Surya Namaskaras and practice the full expression of all of the standing postures. We'll also practice the Warrior sequence and finish up with up with the Janu Sirsasana section. We'll add a few more postures to the finishing sequence too.
