Ashtanga Yoga

This is a semi-guided Ashtanga yoga class open to all levels of experience, from beginners to those with an established Ashtanga practice.

The teacher leads all students through the fundamental standing asanas using Sanskrit counting for the first portion of the class, helping students connect movement with breath. After that, students are given 1:1 guidance from the teacher to grow their practice.

Beginners are taught how to memorize the sequence, learn new poses over time and how to adapt them for their unique needs. Established practitioners continue their practice in their own time and are assisted by the teacher like in a Mysore class.

Level: All levels (including beginners) welcome

Time: Wednesday 7:30 - 9:00 pm

Location: Cork Lotus Yoga, 2-4 Carey’s Lane, Cork, T12 YY89

If you are new to the Ashtanga practice, here’s a 30 minute video by David & Jelena Yoga covering the fundamental asanas you’ll be learning in the first class. This is also a great resource to get started with practicing at home, and it’s what I practice myself when I’m short on time!
