2-5pm Saturday – Hands-on adjustments – October 1st, 2016
An introduction to some of the fundamental assists that can enhance your teaching toolbox and deepen your own personal practice. There will be time to cover core asanas relevant to all styles of practice and have a play with some of the more fun or advanced ones, as well. For regular practitioners and teachers. Please check space for this Saturday afternoon workshop – as numbers will be limited for this session.
10-1pm – Introduction the Intermediate series – Sunday October 1st, 2016
The second series in the Ashtanga system is, in many ways, a compliment to the first series. The two make sense when practiced together. Unfortunately, because of the way the Ashtanga system is taught, many people do not get the opportunity to progress to this series which introduces a wonderful backbending sequence, deep hip openers and creative, unusual vinyasas. In this workshop Ryan will teach you how to approach all the postures in a safe and practical way so you can begin to include this intelligent series in your regular practice. For all levels except complete beginners.
