Embark on a profound journey as Bruce guides trainees through the powerful Ashtanga Yoga system, focusing on the primary series. This in-depth exploration will cover the rich history of Ashtanga Yoga, sacred chanting, Sanskrit counting, essential poses, and the art of adjustments. Throughout the class, we'll meticulously break down each pose, delving into both the mental and physical alignment of the asanas, providing a deep understanding as we progress through the series. Trainees will engage in numerous practices, where the emphasis will be on exploring the harmonious connection between breath and movement, synchronizing their vinyasa flow.
