More about this program
What kind of practice is Ashtanga Yoga?
It is a progressive practice connecting breath, postures and repetition. Erik guides you through the sequence so you can develop a personal, attentive and sustainable practice.
Who is Ashtanga Yoga for?
The class welcomes both beginners and experienced practitioners. It suits anyone wishing to develop mobility, strength, endurance and concentration through a progressive, attentive practice. Adaptations are offered according to each person’s experience and needs.
What does Ashtanga Yoga help develop?
By learning to listen to, and move in synchronicity with our own breath, we refine our proprioceptive and interoceptive awareness. This brings about a fully embodied sense of being which is essential for healing and wholeness. It is a way of practising that creates independence for the student, and allows space to listen internally rather than following the voice of a teacher, or the pace of a group-class. Having our own practice is an invaluable gift that allows us to plant ourselves directly into the ground of our lived experience every morning as we step onto our yoga mat.
What can I expect during an Ashtanga Yoga class?
Everyone progresses through the sequence at their own pace, with guidance adapted to their experience and body. Breath guides the movement, and Erik offers individual support when needed.
How can I join the Ashtanga Yoga class?
New participants can start with a trial class and then join the weekly rhythm. The class is offered in French and English.

General
