Introduction to Ashtanga Yoga - Starts Wednesday 6th October

This course is the ideal introduction to Ashtanga yoga. During the course you will be introduced to yogic breathing, bandhas, sun salutations, standing postures and the finishing sequence. The course will progressively develop your strength and flexibility so by the end you'll be able join a level 1/1-2 or Mysore class with confidence.

The next six week course starts on Wednesday 6th October (18:00-19:15). The course costs £50. Once you've completed the course you're entitled to a £10 discount on your first class pass as well as a £5 discount on our Introduction to the Primary Series Course.

Introduction to the Primary Series – Starts Sunday 5th September

This course is a great way to build on the foundation of the standing postures and take your practice to the next level. It is open to all students but particularly suited to students who have completed our Introduction to Ashtanga Yoga Course.

After reviewing the standing postures we will focus on the postures in the first half of the primary series, through to Navasana. These establish the fundamental themes of the series and create the strength and flexibility in the hips and hamstrings required to master the more challenging postures in the second half of the series. We will also spend some time looking at the finishing series, including the inverted postures.

The next five week course starts on Sunday 5th September (15:15-16:45). The course costs £45 (£40 for students who have completed our Introduction to Ashtanga Yoga course).

Due to high demand for these courses, places must be boked in advance. To book a place on the course please call (0114) 250 8905 or email info@yogashalasheffield.com then send a £25 deposit to confirm the booking (cheques payable to Yoga Shala Sheffield) to Yoga Shala Sheffield, 221-224 London Road, S2 4LW.
