Introduction from Andrew:
My practice of many years has been the Ashtanga Primary series which has a reputation of some ‘difficulty’ due to its many vinyasas within the standing and seated sequence. I would like to take the time to explore the sequences which are made up of many familiar asana. Forward bends, side bends, spinal twists and back bends in standing and seated, prone and supine. The aim being to modify and make them approachable to all during the morning session.
In the afternoon we may complete the series, probably seated and inversions, depending on how quickly we have moved through the mornings series. There is no rush.
We will finish the day with embodied breathing, a pranayama and relaxation.
