I have been practising Yoga for the last 10 years but struggled to find an Ashtanga class in Plymouth.
The reasons I wanted to practise Ashtanga was because it’s a far more dynamic form of yoga with predefined postures allowing you to focus on each posture.
In this way, it is somewhat different to the more static styles of yoga such as iyengar and hatha.
Whilst they develop flexibility and improve overall body composition, they don't help with cardiovascular training and endurance, and unless you consciously choose to use more 'power yoga' postures, they don't necessarily develop great muscular strength.
On the other hand, the benefits of ashtanga yoga include the ability to become strong and muscular in a relatively short space of time.
Have you tried yoga before?
Have the classes been too slow?
My style is to make everyone feel that they are getting individual attention and I will assist all of my students, where appropriate, with a hands on approach allowing them to get deeper into a posture. I teach beginners Ashtanga with modified postures where appropriate. If you would like to try Ashtanga, you don't need to be an expert, please contact me.
