Ashtanga Yoga Intro & Open House
Come learn the ins and outs of this foundational yoga system. Regan & Anthony will lead students in an Ashtanga Primary series-based practice, breaking down the elements that make this long-standing set sequence style meaningful to so many.
Ashtanga Yoga invites us to focus inward. What are we left with when the movements stay the same and there is no new playlist to entertain us? Find out what a room full of oceanic breathing can do for your mindfulness practice while learning how your physical practice can grow through an anchored set sequence that builds intelligently with your progress.
If you’ve been interested in establishing a practice you can do on your own, Ashtanga Yoga is a great place to start. If you’ve craved a yoga class that allows for a further in-depth understanding of postures, this style can be an excellent jumping-off point.
This workshop kicks off a series of Ashtanga Yoga classes and events at Love Story. We invite you to explore and grow along the way.
Meet the teachers-
Regan
I started practicing yoga as a teenager at my local YMCA in San Mateo. The practice has always been a home for me as I grew and moved through different stages of life. My teaching journey started informally at a community gym in Italy several years ago. It is very important to me that yoga be made available to anyone and inclusive of all backgrounds and abilities. After returning to California I went on to do a 200 hour training course and get certified as a Yoga Instructor through Yoga Alliance. In August of 2021 I celebrated my 1000th class and obtained the ERYT and YACEP distinction from Yoga Alliance. I am committed to spreading this wonderful practice.
Anthony is from the Megan Bello lineage of Iyengar and the Tim Miller lineage of Ashtanga. In his own way combines both lineages to form the whole that originates from Tirumalai Krishnamacharya. Beyond yoga, he is an experience designer and strategist, for which he appeared in Priya Parker's Art of Gathering. His current project is Architecting Curiosity.
