Experience Ashtanga the way it was meant to be taught, practiced in the traditional method with Sanskrit counting and chanting to open and close. This is not an easy class, and that is exactly the point.
This class moves through the first half of the Ashtanga Primary Series in sequence, building strength, flexibility, breath awareness, and a deep connection to the practice. Because the sequence stays consistent, you can feel real progress over time. Each session opens and closes with traditional Sanskrit chanting.
Ashtanga is a vigorous, breath-linked practice in the lineage of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois. At The Mind-Body Connection it is taught with care and proper alignment, drawing on Kevala's private training in the authorized Ashtanga tradition. It is part of our strength and flexibility pathway, designed to deepen your practice over time.
