Ashtanga Foundations (6 week progression)

  • Yogalife 124 10419 124 Street Edmonton, AB, T5N 3Z5 Canada (map)

Tuesdays & Thursdays at Yogalife 124 | 10:00 am - 11:00 am

This 6-week series breaks Ashtanga down into approachable, progressive steps so you can build strength, clarity, and confidence without feeling overwhelmed. Whether you’re brand new to Ashtanga or want to refine your fundamentals, you’ll learn the “why” behind the practice—and how to move with more ease and control.

How each week is structured

Tuesdays: Learn the basics — theme + skills, with clear breakdowns, drills, and technique

Thursdays: Apply it all — integrate the skills into a more continuous, guided practice

Choose your track:

  • 2x/week (recommended): Tuesday + Thursday for the full learning + integration arc

  • 1x/week: come either day—Tuesdays are skills-focused, Thursdays are integration-focused—so even if you can only attend once a week, this series is still for you.

Weekly Focus

Week 1: Breath & Sun Salutations

Week 2: Standing Postures & Stability

Week 3: Seated Postures & Forward Folds

Week 4: Twists & Core

Week 5: Backbending Basics

Week 6: Integration & Guided Sequence

Even if you practice other styles… Understanding the structure of Ashtanga can deepen any yoga practice. You’ll develop:

  • stronger, steadier breath

  • better shoulder and hip stability

  • smarter alignment

  • more controlled transitions

  • increased stamina and focus

Think of this as learning the architecture behind the poses you already love.

No prior experience needed. Modifications are always offered.

Please note: This is a progressive series—pre-registration is required and spots are limited (no drop-ins). The series runs only if minimum enrollment is met.
