Yoga IRL
Hi friends, I've been off Instagram since February, and it has been amazing. Maybe I'll come back one day, but I'm enjoying life offline IRL and Upstate summer fun.
I live for hot summer days, sunshine, and lake life with friends and family.
I'm happy to be teaching yoga outside again in Frear Park, on 15th Street in Troy (between the Frear Park roundabout and Park Blvd, parking on 15th Street).
Saturdays, 8:00 AM - 9:30 AM
Bring your own mat, beach towel, or enjoy the fluffy grass. We'll practice in the shade, but there is plenty of sun if you want to get some morning vitamin D.
As always, classes are donation-based, and everyone is welcome.
I hope you are enjoying summer and I look forward to seeing you bright and early on Saturday mornings, weather permitted, through September.
Peace and Love,
A
ASHTANGA YOGA
Ashtanga Yoga has deep roots and is one of the most practiced yoga disciplines world-wide. Known as the “eight-limbed” yoga ("asto" means eight, "anga" limb), it was popularized by Sri Pattabhi Jois in the early 1970’s and brought to the west by his faithful students. The Ashtanga Yoga Primary Series is a deliberate sequence of poses connecting movement and breath, and builds strength and flexibility. It begins with sun salutations, followed by a sequence of standing poses (asanas), then seated poses – the “Primary Series,” and concludes with the finishing sequence. Each pose is connected by the Ujjayi breath, a deep and cleansing breath intended to increase prana with every breath and movement.
