Course intention

Ashtanga Yoga Improvers’ Course Level 2 is designed to advance our students into the first half of the Primary Series of Ashtanga vinyasa yoga as well as more sophisticated Kriya (cleansing) and Pranayama (breathwork) practices.

What is Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga?

Ashtanga vinyasa yoga is a moving meditation method of Hatha yoga, which involves synchronising the mind and the breath with a progressive, dynamic series of postures. This process produces intense internal heat, that detoxifies muscles and organs. The goal of the practice is to make every breath, every movement a conscious one and to establish a meditative flow, withdrawing our senses, calming the mind and moving  with grace, strength and mindfulness.

Course modules

  • Primary series or Yoga Chikitsa (Yoga Therapy): seated series of Ashtanga vinyasa yoga from Pashimottanasana to Navasana. In-depth exploration of the postures and vinyasas. Focussing on how to adopt the sequences to you, your body, your current capacity.
  • Kriya: developing understanding of the cleansing practices of yoga and learning Nauli and Kapalabhati.
  • Pranayama: exploring foundational breathing/energy expanding practices, starting with Nadi Shuddhi: learning to synchronise your brain hemispheres, your parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems, going into more complex breathwork to develop resilience, wellbeing and balance.

Course students

With Corona restrictions we invite only six students to the studio and six more on Zoom. You would be need to have at least six months previous yoga experience in any postural yoga style.

Course teacher

The course will be led by Irina Pashkevich Bourdier, the founder of Iriness and a Senior Yoga Teacher with Yoga Alliance Professionals. Visit the About page for more information about Irina.

Course timeline

  • January 23rd, 30th and February 6th. From 10am to 12pm.

We recommend course’s students to attend our regular classes at least twice a week during the course. This will help your newly acquired knowledge settle in your mind and body. You can purchase membership or class passes on our Prices page.
