Curious about Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga? 🧘♀️
Join longtime Ashtanga Vinyasa practitioner, teacher and Yantra founder Abby Hoffmann for a 2-hour workshop designed for those who’ve dipped their toes into the practice — and want to understand it on a deeper level.
Abby has been practising and teaching this form for 28 years. Along the way she’s had the good fortune to study with some of the leading teachers including; Hamish Hendry, David Swenson, John Scott, Nancy Gilgoff, Danny Paradise and many more.
You’ll be guided through a complete practice including standing and seated postures, learn the opening and closing mantras, and dive into the cornerstones of Ashtanga — bandhas (energy locks), breath, and drishti (focus points).
Abby will also introduce techniques to support your jump-throughs and jump-backs, helping you build strength, fluidity, and confidence in your transitions.
✨ Stay tuned for Part 2, where we’ll take those techniques further — exploring transitions, rhythm, and the art of moving seamlessly through your practice.
