Ashtanga was the first method of yoga asana that introduced the concept of Vinyasa – step-by-step gradual progression to the next posture while linking the breathing to those movements. Therefore, having a base of Ashtanga is very useful to feeling the natural linking together of different poses. During the week, in the morning Linda will guide you through a Vinyasa practice, so you can experience as many ‘sequences’ as possible. Then we will explore different levels of Vinyasa classes – Soft Vinyasa, Dynamic Vinyasa for levels 1 through 3, Beginners Vinyasa – what kinds of poses are appropriate, the essence of the class, planning a class and finally building around a theme action or pose.

The Ashtanga Second Series, Nadi Shodhana (meaning “nadi cleansing”), focuses on purifying the subtle energy channels that allow prana—the life force—to flow freely throughout the body. When these channels are clear, we feel vibrant and balanced; when blocked, we may experience fatigue or mental fog. Complementing the healing foundation of the Primary Series, this 35-hour training explores the energetic significance of the chakras and offers a safe, intelligent breakdown of the Intermediate Series postures. Through personalized adaptations, anatomical alignment, props and modifications, hands-on adjustments, and guidance on readiness for the series, participants deepen both understanding and practice.
