New Ashtanga Yoga Class for Experienced Beginners and Up!
By atlantayoga · Comments (0)
Monday,
June
29th,
2015
Beginning July 6th our Monday 8:00 p.m. class will shift gears slightly. The class will be open to all practitioners at Atlanta Yoga (if you are new to Atlanta Yoga please begin in the Ashtanga Foundations classes). We will begin a detailed exploration of select asanas of the Ashtanga Primary and Second series. Primary series is known as Yoga Chikitsa and is designed to remove obstructions from the body and mind. Second series is know as Nadi Shodhana and is more concerned with the alignment of the nervous system and subtle energy flows of the body. Once a practitioner has settled into a disciplined practice it can be very helpful to begin to integrate the asanas of these two sequences. It is often the case that the primary series alone is too focused on forward bending for some constitutions and likewise, the second series too focused on backbending for some constitutions or that a particular body/mind can benefit greatly from the combined energies of these two sequences, that is,? of restructuring and refining. In this class we will begin to explore the integration of these two series of asanas in several alternative sequences.

2015
The Ashtanga Yoga Practice : Third Saturday Workshop Saturday May 16th, 11:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. With Elizabeth Rogers.
This is our monthly Third-Saturday Ashtanga Yoga workshop and is open to all practitioners who have at a minimum a working knowledge of the first half of the Ashtanga Primary Series.
Pulling from the ashtanga pranayama practice and from the asanas of primary and second series each month we explore aspects of the practice including constructing a frame for creating fluid movement in body and mind, functional anatomy and physiology, and adjustments with regards to the specificity of each body.
In May we will continue exploring the subtleties of the drishti (gaze) practice. Drishti, or the practice of the gaze, is the third aspect of the tristhana, or the third focal point we cultivate in the Ashtanga practice. We will review what we covered regarding drishti in April and work toward a sustained and steady use of the gaze. We will also work in pairs adjusting the surya namaskara and foundational standing asanas Mysore-style.
Fee: $45. Workshop limited to 8 participants. Pre-Registration is required. Please contact Elizabeth to register: atlantayoga@atlantayoga.com or 404.273.4388.

Ashtanga Yoga Practice and Process Intensive in Atlanta, GA May-June 2016!
By atlantayoga · Comments (0)
Monday,
April
13th,
2015
?Ashtanga Yoga Practice and Process Intensive May 2016!
- Practice and Process is for practitioners of all levels interested in exploring the nuances of the Ashtanga Vinyasa practice.
- The Practice and Process Intensive runs for 8 weeks and is limited to 10 practitioners. Fees are 895.00.
- Practice and Process is designed to support each practitioner in developing and refining their personal practice space.
- Practice and Process is a part of all of our training programs and this one kicks off our 200 hour Teacher Training for 2016!
The Practice and Process Intensive includes three practice sessions (classes) per week which must include our Ashtanga? Foundations class? on Thursday evenings at 7:30 and Ashtanga Primary Series class on Sunday mornings at 10:00 a.m. Process hours follow the Sun/Thurs classes.? The third class can be from any of our other classes or from an approved class with another Ashtanga teacher.? (If this class is at another studio it must be approved by the director of training and fees for this class are not included in the P and P fees).
Practice? We will cover the foundations of the Ashtanga Vinyasa practice as we explore what it is to construct space and fluidity in body and mind.
Process? is what we call the work of the experiential observation-based process that is fundamental to developing one?s own practice. ?Process?is a part of all our training programs and is the driving force of our Practice and Process Intensives. ?In Process, we undertake explorations that lay the groundwork for the practice of svadhyaya (self-reflection or self-study) through which, over time and with the repetitions of practice, we create the space and corresponding awareness that allow us to be fully grounded in the body, in the present moment. Process is experience and observation based. While we explore relevant aspects of theory and philosophy, these explorations are firmly rooted in our observations of our own practice experience.? We learn to articulate questions. We speak and write answers to these questions with and in our bodies as we move and breath and speak to the experiences as such. These answers evolve over time. As such, they become for each of us an element of the singular pathways of movement inward and outward, folding and unfolding, that we call yoga.? Topics we may explore in process include pranayama, the eight limbs of ashtanga yoga, detailed work on constructing the frame, the internal knottings or? bandhas, functional anatomy, adjustments, interpretive work and last but not least, your questions arising from your practice that morning.
Registration is Required! Space is limited to 10 practitioners. Please contact Elizabeth to register: atlantayoga@atlantayoga.com.

Yoga for Arthritis is a six week series class led by Elizabeth Rogers. This class is ongoing with rolling registration in six-week blocks.? Movement and Breathing sequences are designed to introduce you to the basics of yoga movement specific to the prevention and support of osteoarthritis. Research suggests that bones and intervertebral discs benefit most from dynamic, moderate, weight-bearing exercise (Smith and Boser, 2013) and that “frequent, gentle to moderate weight-bearing activity offers the greatest benefit to individuals with bone loss” (Chan, Anderson, and Lan, 2003 and Smith and Boser, 2013).? We will explore the dynamic yoga movements and breath-work that support the development of core stability, strengthen spinal muscles, promote balance, encourage the development of bone growth and restore movement in body and mind. We will work in a small group of six participants or less so that the conditions particular to each participant might be addressed. Class is held Sundays 12:15-1:15 p.m.? Space is limited. Pre-registration is required. Please contact Elizabeth to register. Due to limited space, no refunds are available; however, if possible, fees may be applied to other classes at AY within a 3 month time period. Fees for 6 weeks are 120.00.
