Ashtanga: The Primary Series
The set sequence, learned in order, at the pace a traditional teacher would give you.
Ashtanga's primary series is the same every time, which is exactly why it teaches so much. This course introduces it the traditional way: a few poses at a time, added only once the ones before feel steady.
Includes the breath and gaze system, the vinyasa count, and an honest look at the injuries this practice tends to produce when rushed.
