So you have an injury and you miss your strong practice? This is an Ashtanga practice designed specifically to deal with shoulder injuries. Practice the Primary series, with some modifications including taking out the Chaturangas. The vinyasas done in this class are designed to strengthen and stabilize the shoulder while eliminating any irritation. This is an important class for anyone working with injuries. Props Needed: a strap and a block.

This class will move BRISKLY through the first half of the primary series - right up until Navasana. Then we will take the time to thoroughly break down the 2nd half of the series, looking closely at ways to modify and move carefully through the most challenging part of the sequence.

Ashtanga yoga practitioners work hard and practice six days a week, except for the new and full moon days. It is highly recommended that you take off at least the first two days of your menstrual cycle. This traditional class for women has been shortened and will leave you feeling more open and invigorated. Props Needed: 3 blankets or a bolster, 4 blocks, and a strap.
