7- Day Ashtanga Yoga Immersion w/ Yoga Sutras presented by Ricky Tran

Great for students or teachers who want to deepen their knowledge of vinyasa yoga and the 8 Limbs.

Ashtanga (Vinyasa)of Pattabhi Jois is the ORIGINAL POWER/VINYASA YOGA in the West.

Ashtanga (8 Limbs) of Patanjali is the first textbook on yoga (500-250BC). This is the primary text on yoga. The Yoga Sutra is series of aphorisms on the theory, practice and results of meditation (yoga). The essence of yoga is supreme control of the mind. Many people in the west think of yoga as being only the physical exercise, when truly, there is more to doing yoga than simply making an asana (yoga posture) of oneself.

Join us in this 50 hour immersion into Ashtanga Yoga. Explore the eternal and internal practices (8 Limbs) that can lead a practitioner to liberation and bliss.

Each day will include discussion and stories about the Ashtanga tradition and Patanjali's Yoga Sutra (8 Limbs) and a lead vinyasa class with pranayama, asana clinic on Primary/Second Series.

Required books:

Yoga Mala, K Pattabhi Jois
