Timetable/agenda:

November 25

The vinyasa system provides the defining structure for the Ashtanga practice. David and Jelena will provide an overview of the traditional method of Ashtanga Yoga and share 5 transformative techniques to help you work on deepening the vinyasa in your practice.

• 7:00-10:30 Mysore practice (2 batches)
• 13:00-13:45 Pranayama & Meditation (45m)
• 13:50-15:30 Workshop: Breathing Moving System (1.5h)

November 26

The work of physical precision is embodied focus. In Ashtanga, the focus we create in asana and vinyasa leads us deeper into states of flow and meditation. This workshop will help you sharpen your focus by defining the coordinates and alignment conditions of Ashtanga’s opening sequence of Fundamental Postures.

• 7:00-10:30 Mysore practice (2 batches)
• 13:00-13:45 Pranayama & Meditation
• 13:50-15:30 Workshop: Ashtanga’s Fundamentals (1.5h)

November 27

This workshop explores the shared biomechanical patterns woven through the Primary, Intermediate, and Advanced Series of Ashtanga Yoga. Through posture breakdowns, targeted drills, and embodied exploration, we’ll uncover how similar shapes and actions repeat and evolve across the series. By recognizing these patterns—spirals, anchors, binds, and extensions—we’ll develop a deeper understanding of how the method builds intelligence and resilience in the body.

• 7:00-10:30 Mysore practice (2 batches)
• 13:00-13:45 Pranayama & Meditation (45m)
• 13:50-15:30 Workshop: Shapes & Patterns of Ashtanga

November 28

This session offers detailed techniques and alignment cues that will help you find graceful, weightless transitions between postures. We will look at the jump back and jump through vinyasas, and the work that goes into making them smooth and light.

• 7:00-10:30 Mysore practice (2 batches)
• 13:00-13:45 Pranayama & Meditation (45m)
• 13:50-15:30 Workshop: Lift Off & Landing (1.5h)

November 29

This workshop will explore the basic alignment and actions of backbending. By learning correct technique for the poses, take the pain out of backbending and allow your body to safely go deeper into the postures.

• 7:45-8:30 Pranayama & Meditation (45m)
• 8:30-10:00 Led Primary (1.5h)
• 13:50-15:30 Workshop: Backbending (1.5h)
