In-Person Half Primary Series
with Karen McElvogue

In this class, we begin to explore a set series of postures that synchronize with the breath. The first series is known as "Yoga Chikitsa" or Yoga therapy. It includes many forward folds and twists, aiding in detoxification of the body and purification of the mind and spirit. Through consistent practice of the Ashtanga Primary Series, you can begin to see how each time you come to the mat you are different. You develop the ability to observe how your daily life and environment affect you. You can observe what truly serves you and what doesn’t. These traditional series allows practitioners to become the observers of the self and begin to cultivate a greater sense of presence and peace while challenging the physical body and preparing to still the mind. This class is recommended for beginners and all that are new to Ashtanga Vinyasa!
