Ashtanga Full Primary Series: Pose by Pose

with Olga Oshchepkova A three-part workshop series to understand the poses and find what works for your body. In regular Ashtanga classes, we often learn one adjustment here, one modification there, or pick up alignment cues over time. What we don't always get is a structured overview of the Full Primary Series: What is each pose working on? What are its key alignment principles? And how can I adapt it to my own body? Ashtanga Full Primary Series: Pose by Pose is a three-part workshop series designed to give you that structured overview. Together, we will move systematically through the full Primary Series, exploring each pose through the same three questions: • Purpose: What does this pose work on and what are we aiming for? • Alignment: What are the key principles that help us practise it effectively and safely? • Personalisation: What can I modify based on my mobility, proportions, injuries or where my practice is today? We will explore different options, try them in practice and identify what works for your unique body, in 3 parts: • 17 October 2026: Part 1 “Foundations & Standing”: Sun Salutations and the complete standing sequence. • 14 November 2026: Part 2 “Seated”: From the first forward folds through twists, binds, hip-opening poses, arm balances and the final seated and supine poses. • 5 December 2026: Part 3 “Backbending & Finishing”: Complete finishing sequence, with particular attention to the principles of backbending, shoulderstand and headstand. You will receive a My Primary Series workbook to use throughout the three workshops for every pose. During each workshop, you will fill it in with your own notes, adjustments and variations, so that by the end of the series you have a personalised guide to the Primary Series that you can return to in your regular practice. Who is it for? The series is designed for practitioners who already have some experience with Ashtanga and want to understand their practice more deeply. You can attend individual workshops or join the complete three-part series to work systematically through the entire Primary Series. A little extra for yoga teachers: This workshop is Yoga Alliance certified, and participants can receive a certificate of completion to count towards their continuing education hours.
