About My Class

Ashtanga Half Led Primary

This is a traditional yoga practice as taught by Sri K Pattabhi Jois and R. Sharath Jois in Mysore, India. In this class the postures are linked with breath and movement and with concentration techniques (drishti). Half primary series will be taught by Olivier David calling out the names of the postures and Vinyasa count in Sanskrit according to the classical Ashtanga method as well as direction of the posture.

This experience increases the knowledge of this ancient practice through the direct parampara (lineage) of this method.
