Starstreet Precinct – Wan Chai
29 Nov - 1 Dec 2024
SEE LOCATION, SCHEDULE & FEESBuilding upon the success of last year’s Breath & Ashtanga workshop, Melissa is pleased to offer an immersive experience that aims to establish a regular yoga practice. Each morning, we will explore three prescribed sets of yoga sequences – kriya (cleansing technique), pranayama (breath regulation), and asana (posture) – in the form of Ashtanga Primary Series in both led class-style as well as Mysore-style. The afternoon session will be Asana Clinics, which will allow us to deepen our understanding of key Ashtanga poses.
Emphasis will be placed on mastering the correct technique for these prescribed sequences, enabling students to cultivate a strong foundation of practice. Our mornings will begin with a seated meditation before moving into kriya, followed by an asana practice in the form of the Ashtanga Primary Series in Mysore-style. This series is a self-paced fixed-sequence practice in Vinyasa-style. We will end with pranayama and relaxation, allowing the benefits of our practice to fully integrate.
*This immersion is open to students with previous experience in Ashtanga Yoga.

Expect to learn more about the main principles of movement and anatomical alignment in key standing poses like Utthita Trikonasana (triangle pose), Utthita Parsvakonasana (side angle pose) and Prasarita Padottanasana (wide-legged forward bend pose), etc. Learning about the foundations is important as they form the building blocks for more advanced poses in the second half of the Primary Series. |
