Ashtanga Remix - 30 Minute Daily Practice

Welcome, yogis! Today, we're diving into a condensed and vibrant remix of the Ashtanga primary series. With a touch of creative flair, this routine provides a foundational and invigorating experience suitable for any time of the day.

To begin, stand at the top of your mat with your feet hip-width apart. Root down into all four corners of your feet, let your shoulders relax by your side, and close your eyes. Breathe deeply through your nose to center yourself.

  • Mountain Pose with a slight backbend to awaken your posture.
  • Forward Fold to release tension and increase flexibility.
  • Chaturanga Dandasana to engage your core strength.
  • Warrior One introduces a dynamic combination of focus and balance.

Each pose is linked by rhythmic breaths, synchronizing the body's movement while maintaining a mindful practice known as italic*pranayama *italic.

This segment draws on traditional Ashtanga flows infused with playful variations. Whether it’s exploring the depth of Horse Stance or the challenge of Crow Pose, each movement encourages personal adaptation while maintaining structural integrity.

As we proceed, the Standing Series continues this adventure with movements such as Extended Side Angle Pose. These asanas cultivate strength and flexibility across your whole body. Remember, engaging your lower pelvic floor through core locks, or italic*bandhas *italic, ensures deeper body energetics.

Balance-focused segments like Tree Pose build a strong foundation while reducing mental noise. Savoring the stability and peel away tension enhances your overall alignment.

Towards the culmination of the sequence, unfolding into forward bends and post-class releases such as Twists will foster a full-body tension unspooling, honoring bodily sensitivity and expression.

“Our stronger practice is a disciplined and regimented practice, and when we create a remix, we allow ourselves the nuance to play.”
