The classical Ashtanga Vinyasa Primary Series in the Sri BNS Iyengar lineage.

Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga is a powerful method of practice that utilizes a set sequence of postures, Ujjayi breathing, Bandha (internal muscular control), Vinyasa count, and Drishti (gazing point) to create one pointedness of mind leading into a trance state. If these terms are unfamiliar to you, don't worry! We will cover them in each class from a beginner’s perspective. Although Ashtanga is considered one of the more challenging types of yoga, students new to this style are allowed to skip or modify poses with the assistance of the instructor.

Joey Paz (E-RTY 500, YACEP) has been traveling to Mysore, India regularly since 2013 to study Ashtanga Vinyasa with his teacher Sri BNS Iyengar, the last surviving student of Sri Krishnamacharya, AKA “The Father of Modern Yoga.”
