Ashtanga Yoga Beginners
In truth we are all Ashtanga Yoga beginners. Regardless of how long we have practiced, what series we have completed or what level of flexibility we attain, we are still a work in progress with much still to learn.
However there are those beginners who are completely new to Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga… the Ashtanga Yoga Beginners Intensive was specifically designed for those people.
This 2 day intensive will both prepare students for a Mysore Style class and build the foundations of a sustainable home practice.
Places are extremely limited and allocated on a first-come, first-serve basis.
2-Day Beginners Intensive

The Lotus Loft, Exeter, Devon

This weekend intensive will explore the foundations of the ancient system of Ashtanga Yoga, providing a detailed introduction to this life-changing practice.
The morning sessions will explore the core poses (asanas) of the Primary Series, weaving the 3 key elements of the Ashtanga system (breath, bandhas & drishti) together to develop a simple home practice. The afternoon sessions will build a fuller understanding of the nuances of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga, covering elements of alignment, chanting (mantra), breath control (pranayama) and meditation.
This course will accommodate those who are completely new to Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga, as well as current practitioners seeking a refresher.

"Chris has a wealth information to share openly about Ashtanga yoga. I consider Chris to be a forward thinking modern yogi which for me was refreshing and inspiring."Sue Lewry (yoga teacher)
"Thank you, Chris, for a stimulating and comforting weekend that promises to have a far greater impact on my daily life than I anticipated. I had previously made a very brief foray into Ashtanga yoga but withdrew feeling 'inadequate' in so many ways.Your accessible, practical, gentle yet frank encouragement has rid me of that sense of inadaqeucy and convinced me to calmy enjoy the process of entering and developing my practice of the primary series at a pace which suits my personality and my life circumstances."
Sarah Green
"I just wanted to let you know that I gained so much from your recent workshop. Since opening my own business two years ago my personal yoga practice suffered when time and work pressures took over my life. The Ashtanga primary series is a way for me to practice at my own pace, in my own way, and reconnect with something I was desperately missing. I feel my strength grow every day, and my aches and pains diminish as my stress levels reduce... and then the spiritual side has room to grow once again. Thank you for that blessing in my life returned!"Paula Warke
"Thank you! I really enjoyed the workshop this weekend - my head is brimming with all the physical, theoretical and spiritual things I have learned. Ashtanga is the yoga for me and I feel enthused to begin the journey. Thank goodness too that you injected a liberal dose of humour to the sessions - it made the experience more human and fun!"Abigail Leighton-Boyce
"Your love and enthusiasm for yoga comes across in bucket loads. You've inspired me to do my first self practice, how fabulous - It has taken 20 years of teacher led yoga (which I won't stop doing) for me to manage self practice. Thanks for the inspiration"Kerstine Gardner
"Just a quick note to thank you for such a wonderful weekend. I've wanted to learn for years and spent quite some time researching courses/tutors and came to the conclusion I should attend the Beginner's Intensive in Exeter. I am so pleased I made that decision, the course was everything I wanted it to be and more""As a novice to yoga I was expecting to learn about breathing and postures with the goal of 'getting fit' really and yes I was bent & stretched upside down and back to front on the course but I had no idea how much more there is to Ashtanga yoga - the spiritual side, health benefits, chanting, meditation... This comprehensive course taught me so much more than I expected and filled me with enthusiasm to keep practising. Since the course I've practised each morning and plan on this being part of my weekday routine"
