Ashtanga for Life
Mondays | 12:00-1:00 p.m.
Taught by Gwen Hull
Take a refreshing break in the middle of your day with our Ashtanga for Life class at Maya Yoga in Kansas City. Designed to fit seamlessly into your busy schedule, this class allows you to recharge and rejuvenate, returning to your day with renewed energy and focus.
Ashtanga for Life is great for all ages and abilities. Practice to improve your posture, release trigger points and tension, build functional strength, and experience the essence of Ashtanga yoga in a supportive and sacred space. We will focus on the 8 limbs of yoga, and it all starts with the tristhana: the breath, asana, and drishti.
Key Components of Ashtanga for Life
Breath and Movement Synchronization: The class emphasizes the synchronization of breath (Ujjayi Pranayama) with movement (vinyasa), creating a flowing, meditative practice. This focus on breathwork helps to calm the mind, reduce stress, and enhance your overall sense of well-being.
Core Asanas: You will be guided through key postures such as Sun Salutations (Surya Namaskara), standing poses, seated forward bends, twists, and backbends. Each posture is designed to systematically open and strengthen different parts of the body, promoting balance and stability.
Adjustments and Modifications: Our experienced instructors provide personalized adjustments and modifications to accommodate all levels of practitioners. Whether you are a seasoned yogi or new to Ashtanga, you'll receive the guidance you need to safely and effectively progress in your practice.
Mental Clarity and Focus: By practicing mindfulness and concentration during your lunch hour, you'll return to your daily activities with improved mental clarity and productivity.
